Okay, the spaghetti mystery is solved. Some guy was cleaning out his late parent's home and apparently they believed in stockpiling pasta in case of emergencies. The pasta was expired so the guy figured instead of throwing it away, he would sprinkle it around the woods to feed the wildlife. Then it rained

Man pulled over for DUI blames dog for driving, police say
Good gawd with him.
What a fucking dick for blaming his dog. He must have been super fucked up if he thought that would work.

Happy Birthday! I hid a dead body in your backyard to celebrate. Good luck finding it under the cement. You can only use a stick to look for it.

Woman's leg is amputated after being trapped under a moving walkway in a Thai airport
The 57-year-old Thai passenger was due to board a morning flight from Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport to the southern Nakhon Si Thammarat province when she was caught by the walkway in the airport’s Terminal 2. A medical team there eventually had to cut her left leg off from above the knee, according to the airport's officials.
That is horrible. Poor lady.
I don't know where to post this, but I'm freaked out by it, so....
This guy and his dog were adrift at sea for THREE MONTHS and they got rescued by a Mexican fishing boat! This is like, my worst nightmare, it validates all of my weird phobias. I think people who go out in the ocean in a catamaran must have a death wish or something. I want to know more. How did it happen? What did they do? How did they live? Where did they get water? I assume there was fishing involved, but was there ever a "Donner Moment?"
I've got questions and I want answers.

So grateful?: Australian sailor who survived three months adrift off Mexico back on dry land
Timothy Shaddock, 54, and his dog Bella disembark tuna trawler that rescued him after a storm damaged his yacht and forced him to live off raw fish and rainwater

An Australian sailor who was rescued by a Mexican tuna boat after being adrift at sea with his dog for three months has said he is grateful to be alive after setting foot on dry land for the first time since their ordeal began.
Timothy Lyndsay Shaddock, 54, disembarked in the Mexican city of Manzanillo after being examined on board the boat that rescued him, the Maria Delia.
?I?m feeling all right,? a smiling Shaddock, bearded and thin, told reporters on the dock in the port city about 340km (210 miles) west of Mexico City. ?I?m feeling a lot better than I was, I tell you.
?To the captain and fishing company that saved my life, I?m just so grateful. I?m alive and I didn?t really think I?d make it,? he said, adding that his ?amazing? dog Bella was also doing well.
Shaddock described himself as a quiet person who loves being alone on the ocean. Asked why he had set out in April from Mexico?s Baja Peninsula to cross the Pacific Ocean to French Polynesia, he was initially at a loss.
?I?m not sure I have the answer to that but I very much enjoy sailing and I love the people of the sea,? he said. ?It?s the people of the sea that make us all come together. The ocean is in us. We are the ocean.?
The Sydney man?s catamaran set sail from the Mexican city of La Paz but was crippled by bad weather weeks into the journey. He said the last time he had seen land was in early May as he sailed out of the Sea of Cortez. There was a full moon.
Shaddock said he had been well-provisioned but a storm had knocked out his electronics and ability to cook. He and Bella survived on raw fish.
?There were many, many, many bad days and many good days,? he said. ?The energy, the fatigue is the hardest part.?
He passed the time fixing things and stayed positive by going into the water to ?just enjoy being in the water?.
Asked what meal he was looking forward to the most, he replied: ?Tuna sushi.?
When the tuna boat?s helicopter spotted Shaddock?s catamaran about 1,930km from land, it was the first sign of humans he had seen in three months. The pilot tossed him a drink then flew away, returning with a speedboat from the Mar?a Delia.
Grupomar, which operates the fishing fleet, didn?t specify when the rescue occurred. But it said Shaddock and his dog had been in a ?precarious? state when found, lacking provisions and shelter, and that the tuna boat?s crew had given them medical attention, food and hydration.
Bella had been an immediate hit with the crew, Shaddock said. He also explained how he and the dog met.
?Bella sort of found me in the middle of Mexico,? he said. ?She?s Mexican. She?s the spirit of the middle of the country and she wouldn?t let me go. I tried to find a home for her three times and she just kept following me on to the water. She?s a lot braver than I am, that?s for sure.?
Perhaps for that reason, Bella did not leave the boat until Shaddock had driven away on Tuesday. He had chosen Genaro Rosales, a crew member from Mazatlan, to adopt her on the condition he would take good care of her.
Shaddock said he would be returning to Australia soon and that was looking forward to seeing his family.
There have been other stories of extreme ocean survival but they do not all end happily.
In 2016 a Colombian fisher was rescued after spending two months adrift in the Pacific Ocean. Three of his crewmates died. He was rescued by a merchant ship more than 3,000km south-east of Hawaii. He and the others had been fishing off Colombia?s coast when their skiff?s motor failed.
In 2014 a Salvadoran fisher washed ashore on the tiny Pacific atoll of Ebon in the Marshall Islands after drifting for 13 months. Jos? Salvador Alvarenga left Mexico for a day of shark fishing in December 2012. He said he had survived on fish, birds and turtles before his boat washed ashore 8,850km away.
Grupomar?s president, Antonio Suarez, said Tuesday that this could be the Mar?a Delia?s final trip because he was modernising the company?s fleet and the boat was its smallest and more than 50 years old.
If so, it would be a ?marvellous farewell, saving human lives?, Suarez said.

I wasn't able to read the actual article, but I have some of the same questions as you. I mean, the dog survived. How in the world did they only survive on water...and what water were they drinking?
Rainwater and raw fish. He was adrift in a yacht. Still dangerous, but he had shelter. I was picturing him out there in an inflatable raft because that's where my mind goes.

The guy is kind of hippie-dippie. In the article he talked about the dog being the Spirit of Mexico and being one with the ocean.I think he thinks the dog doesn't belong to anyone. Or maybe Australia has crazy quarantine laws for dogs and he didn't want to put the dog through that after being adrift for 3 months.
I just looked it up. There is no rabies in Australia. Amazing, everything else on that continent will kill you.
