I guess lice just like to photobomb people's picks. For decades, a 55-year-old woman in China has had an appetite for dirt. Her unusual habit began some 50 years ago when she got a taste while cleaning a family home. She estimates she has eaten now 5 tons of dirt. And even worse, it's Chinese dirt, meaning 20 minutes later you're hungry to eat more of it. President Trump now admits there are no tapes of James Comey. Meanwhile, Comey confessed that he never DVR'd The Apprentice. A book of short stories titled 40 Minutes Late has been returned to a San Francisco library 100 years late. Webb Johnson returned the book Friday and there was no fine. Johnson's great-grandmother had checked it out in 1917. She passed away a week before the due date. Johnson found the 1909 book in an old steamer trunk in 1996. So maybe it wasn't great grandma's fault since she died before it was due. You found the book in 1996. You're just now returning it? 21 years after you found it? A couple from Ecuador claims that they have lived without eating food for nine years, saying they live on just air. Looking for a new dining experience in San Francisco, a place called The Dungeon has planned a two-day experimental rat café for those who feel their coffee or tea is better sipped while rats, supplied by the local rat rescue, scurry about the room. Pastries are included for the $49.99 price but the rats will be removed before the food comes. Guests are promised at least 15 minutes of rat interaction and the price includes admission to The Dungeon. You're just in time. This all goes down July 1st and July 8th. YUM! There are rumors circulating around DC that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy is about to retire. The rumors started when he began showing up each morning wearing a fishing hat. An associate professor of English at an Ontario University lent her a copy of a textbook to one of her students five years ago and never saw it again. That is, until she recently ordered a used replacement copy on Amazon. And her old copy arrived, complete with her name and the date written in her handwriting on the title page. Eugenia Zorowski said, I was stunned. She notes that it's particularly uncanny because the book is about shopping practices and how consumer markets encourage us to feel closely attached to the things we buy. Good thing she was an English teacher and not teaching ethics, seeing as her student just stole her book and sold it online. Japan is in constant conflict over whether to beef up their military. As of late, increasing concerns about North Korea are fueling the fire, even though the country's constitution requires a low-profile military, only for purposes of self-defense. However, when the country's defense minister recently suggested placing females into combat roles, the constitutional law professor strongly objected. It's not the obvious sexism that got people talking, though. Rather, it was his reasoning for not wanting women in combat. He actually said that Japan's enemies might have bombs capable of blowing women's uniforms off, thus exposing their bodies. Don't worry, the laughter and ridicule was swift. One critic wrote, I think I saw something like that in Dragon Ball Z. A toddler in Massachusetts survived a two-story fall from a building last Wednesday thanks to his stuffed animal. The two-year-old boy of Chelsea was jumping on his bed when a hop sent him out his home window. Luckily, the boy was holding a large stuffed cow during the fall. He landed on the toy, which provided a cushion between him and the concrete sidewalk. I had a cow save my life once, I was starving, but I found a McDonald's just in time to grab a cheeseburger. An Algerian man picked a truly horrible way to satisfy his craving for attention. And now, we'll get plenty of attention in prison. You've probably seen the now infamous photo posted by the unnamed man dangling a baby out of a 15th-story window of an apartment building in Algiers with the caption, 1000 likes or I drop him. Well, social media users quickly denounced the photo, and police charged the man with endangering the life of a child when they arrested him on Sunday. The man who is a cousin of the baby swears the whole thing was a misunderstanding. The boy's father also said he believed the man was just being playful and asked the court for mercy. The court responded by sentencing the idiot to two years behind bars. Maybe you remember the story of 34-year-old Kelly Mason of Leicester, England. She had grown weary of her neighbor's kids' soccer ball constantly landing in her garden and, when it happened again, punctured the ball before throwing it back. The mother of the children, Natalie Boland and her father, William Jelly, responded by coming right over and beating Mrs. Mason to death, while the two murderers just found out their fate. They each got seven years in prison. Boland's lawyer said things had been boiling for a long time. Both women had filed complaints with police regarding the other, and his client simply snapped. He added the consequences were far beyond anything she could have imagined and is something she will be eternally ashamed of and will regret forever. However, the judge said neither Boland nor Jelly showed any remorse for their actions. He said Boland boasted about the assault to friends and seemed almost triumphant at Mason's death. And so you give them just seven years? Despite experiencing the hottest June temperatures and more than 40 years, the headteacher at ISCA Academy in Devon, England told boys shorts were not an acceptable part of the school uniform. However, she did not ban skirts. So guess what happened next? Yep, dozens of boys at the secondary school turned up in skirts that they had borrowed from friends or siblings. One teen described the feeling as a nice breeze amid the sweltering temperatures. One mother, whose 14-year-old son attends the school, said children also don't like injustice. The boys see the female teachers in sandals and nice, cool skirts and tops, while they are wearing long trousers and shoes and the older boys have to wear blazers. Boys who wore the school's regulation tartan skirts did not get into trouble, except for the one who wore his too short. With the protest now spreading to other schools with bans on shorts, Mitchell has said she is ready to consider the school's dress code. Congratulations, boys! You stood up like real women and fought for equal rights for boys. Curl power! Ryan Seacrest is still trying to hammer out the final details for him hosting the next incarnation of American Idol. The current sticking point is that Ryan wants executive producer credit as part of his compensation. Lionel Richie won't supposedly sign on as a judge until Ryan is secured. Wait a minute. Lionel Richie? He's still alive? Kim Kardashian was the top bidder at an auction for a wristwatch once owned by Jackie Kennedy. All it took was $379,000. What do you need a watch for, Kimmy? Do you know what also tells time? That phone you keep taking selfies with. Oscar-winning filmmaker Ron Howard is stepping into a galaxy far, far away from the upcoming Star Wars Han Solo spin-off movie after the surprise departure of its directors. Who would have thought that back in 1977, when Star Wars was released in theaters that the redhead kid on Happy Days, which was on television at that same time, would be directing a prequel to that movie 40 years later? In fact, who knew what a prequel even WAS back in 1977? Never miss a single episode of The Daily Dose of Weird News.
