An elderly woman in China is quickly becoming a meme for League of Legends fans after someone in an Internet cafe posted photos of her praying to a statue of Garen on the sidewalk.

The photo, which was posted to the Chinese social network Weibo, has attracted attention from fans around the world. It's funny, but also kind of sweet. Many believe that the statue of Garen bears a strong resemblance to Lord Guan, a legendary Chinese general -- which would explain the adoration.

A store surveillance camera captured a Florida man throwing a small alligator into the drive-thru window at a Wendy’s restaurant, prompting a concerned employee to hoist herself outside the window to escape the reptile.

As seen in the above video, defendant Joshua James, 24 paid for a drink he had ordered and then, as the Wendy’s employee turned her back to get change, he threw the live three-and-a-half foot alligator into the eatery around 1:30 AM. Seen at right, James then drove off in his Nissan Frontier.

While the airborne alligator is a blur in the footage, the Wendy’s employee’s concern is clear. While she seems to smile at the sight of the alligator inside the restaurant, the woman eventually sits up on the ledge of the drive-thru window and then jumps out the opening.

James, a Jupiter resident, is facing a felony aggravated assault charge in connection with the October 2015 alligator tossing at the Palm Beach County restaurant. Free on $3000 bond, James has been ordered by a judge to stay away from Wendy’s restaurants and is barred from contact with “any animals except current family dog.”

According to a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission report, James told investigators that he found the alligator on a roadway (the below photo shows the reptile on the floor inside Wendy’s). The alligator was subsequently released into a nearby canal.

The surveillance video was provided to TSG in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed with Florida prosecutors.

An 18-year-old student whose educational history includes a staggering 102 disciplinary referrals and 62 separate suspensions was arrested Wednesday for fighting with a fellow pupil in their Florida high school’s cafeteria, a brawl that prompted the “evacuation of all students,” police report.

As detailed in criminal complaints, Malik Wilson and his 17-year-old foe exchanged “multiple punches” around 7 AM Wednesday in the cafeteria of Pinellas Secondary School in Pinellas Park.

Despite demands from a cop to cease fighting, Wilson (seen at right) only stopped throwing punches after being doused with pepper spray.

In addition to the evacuation of other students, the melee “required the crisis team to respond and disrupted not only food preparation and service, but testing of both high school and middle school students as well as transportation by buses,” a complaint notes.

According to the Pinellas Secondary School web site, students are sent to the alternative school due to “zero tolerance infractions” at their home schools. It is the school’s desire that students eventually “return to their home school...in the pursuit of graduation.” The principal adds that, “Our hope is that their time spent at Pinellas Secondary will help prepare them for their future endeavors such as college, an industry career, or any other career of their choosing.”

Citing school records, an investigator reported that Wilson has been the subject of “102 disciplinary referrals, including striking another student, numerous disruptions, and possession of a dangerous implement.” As a result of that record, the teen has “served 31 in-school and 31 out-of-school suspensions.”

It appears likely that the young scholar is now in the midst of his 63rd school suspension.

DALLAS, TEXAS - Camden Vaughan is sick of being in the hospital room with his mom. He's ready to go home.

"He's all boy, and he's all active," Misty Vaughan said.

And if not for him, Misty Vaughan may not have been here to talk with us. She thought she had the flu. Her fever kept rising.

"It was reading 105 on my thermometer, and that's the last thing I remember," she said.

Then she passed out.

It was little Camden who found her Sunday night, and he used her cell phone to call Dr. Jeremy Vaughan — his own father.

"He said, 'Daddy I need you to come home! Mommy can't get in the bath because she can't wake up!' And I said: 'I'm on my way!'"

Remember, Camden is just four years old. But he unlocked his mom's iPhone and found his dad's photo at the the top of the favorites list.

"And tap the phone button, and the star, and hit the pictures," the youngster explained.

Misty Vaughan's physician at Methodist Charlton Medical Center, Dr. Ousama Moammar, believes she had a seizure. He also believes that Camden's phone call was crucial.

"It saved her life... as simple as that," he said. "Acting early and fast is really of the essence."

That's something that this mother of two is still trying to process.

"If my brain had continued at that temperature, I could not be the same here... the same or not be here at all for them," Misty Vaughan said.

But she is is still here, she's feeling better, and should be back at home soon with Camden.

"I feel like my trust in his responsibility has definitely increased," she said.

There is a petition to stop one of canadas telecommunication gaints from killing Canada's smaller, most affordable Internet providers so it can price-gouge you at will. If Bell succeeds, Canadians will be forced to pay more money for less Internet.

So I was wondering if 4Chan would like to help us stop Bell canada from raping our wallets

Officials say three men who had been missing for three days were rescued Thursday from a deserted Pacific island after a U.S. Navy plane spotted a gigantic "help" spelled out with palm leaves.

U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman Melissa McKenzie said Saturday that the men were reported missing Tuesday by their families after they failed to show up at the island of Weno.

McKenzie says the men were traveling in a skiff between two Micronesian islands when they were overtaken by a wave.

She says they were all wearing life jackets and were able to swim to the deserted island.

Two hours after being located, the men were picked up by a local small boat and taken to a hospital.

>Researchers found that new composite metal foams (CMFs) have excellent thermal protection compared to plain metal, turning armor piercing bullet into dust.

>North Carolina State University researchers studied lightweight CMFs and found that the air pockets inside the metal foams are effective heat blockers. This makes CMFs a promising tool for use in transport and storage of hazardous materials, explosives, nuclear elements, and other heat sensitive materials. It could also prove beneficial for space exploration.

>Mechanical and aerospace engineering professor at NC State Afsaneh Rabiei shared that this property can be attributed to the hollow spheres in the CMFs, which is composed of stainless steel, carbon steel, or titanium implanted in a metallic matrix of aluminum, metallic alloys, and steel.

A woman arrested for cocaine possession told Florida jailers that the crack pipe found hidden in her vagina was not her property, but rather she was storing the drug paraphernalia for a friend.

Tiffany Flores, 23, was arrested yesterday afternoon following a traffic stop in Fellsmere, a city just north of Vero Beach (where Flores resides).

Flores, a passenger in the vehicle stopped, confessed to ownership of a small bag of cocaine that a cop found on the roadway “directly beside the passenger door frame,” according to an arrest affidavit.

After initially denying that she threw the cocaine out of the car window, Flores reportedly copped to owning the coke, which she said she purchased from a man named “Nino.”

Upon arriving at the county jail, Flores claimed that she could not go through a scanner since she was pregnant. But after a pregnancy test showed negative results, “jail staff processed Flores through the body scanner.” That is when officers noticed a “foreign object located inside of Flores’s vaginal area.”

Flores, seen above, subsequently retrieved “a clear cylindrical tube containing a burnt end” and gave it to a cop. But the crack pipe was not hers, explained Flores, who said that the item was owned by a female friend who was driving the car that had been pulled over.

Flores claimed that her pal “threw the crack pipe on her lap” and asked her to hide the item when a patrolman began following them. “Flores then hid it inside of her vagina in an attempt to avoid a search,” according to the affidavit.

Despite that explanation, Flores was charged with introducing contraband into a correctional facility, along with drug possession and tampering with evidence counts. Locked up in lieu of $11,000 bond, Flores has previously been busted for theft, cocaine possession, credit card fraud, and resisting arrest.
