Authorities
accuse an Arizona man of hiding methamphetamine inside a stuffed
animal and cereal boxes as he shipped packages of the drug to
Massachusetts. Federal investigators said they discovered 27-year-old
Brandon Greenberg of Phoenix had mailed more than twenty packages to
addresses in Somerville and Boston. Authorities said that the
packages contained methamphetamine. Greenberg, who was indicted on
federal charges of conspiring to distribute methamphetamine and
distribution of methamphetamine, will appear in a Boston federal
court Tuesday. Investigators said that one of the packages they
checked contained two Ziploc-style bags, one wrapped in a small
blanket and the other secreted inside a stuffed bunny rabbit. The
bags contained just under 940 grams of methamphetamine. Authorities
added, “Later in the investigation, agents conducted a controlled
purchase of methamphetamine from Greenberg and seized 486 grams
hidden inside three cereal boxes that were then placed in a package
mailed by Greenberg.” (https://bit.ly/36YKOuX)

FUN FACT FOR YOU:
Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
J.K. Rowling chose the unusual name 'Hermione' so young girls wouldn't be teased for being nerdy. The name Hermione came from Shakespeare’s “A Winter’s Tale.” Rowling says when she chose the name, she “didn’t want a lot of fairly hard-working little girls to be teased if ever the book was published.”

Kay
Wilson packed up her life in a hurry and moved to Los Angeles... only
to find that what she paid in Pennsylvania for a nice studio
apartment would only get her a 2.9-square-meter box in California.
Her
new home is a capsule, inspired by the famous hotels in Japan. Wilson
arrived a month ago at UP(st)ART, a community for young people with
artistic aspirations in need of an affordable place to live. Each
room contains up to six capsules, which Wilson describes as “cozy.”
They contain a single bed, a bar for hanging clothes, a few
compartments for storing shoes and other items, and an air vent. By
most standards, the accommodation is still not cheap -- $750 per
month plus taxes. That works out at around $800, which is slightly
more than the 26-year-old was paying in Bethlehem, around seventy
miles outside Philadelphia.

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by SingleStudentLoan.com
Two
North Carolina fast-food workers were fired after one of them refused
to take a cop’s food order last week. A cashier and a manager at a
Cook Out restaurant in Roxboro were canned after the cashier
allegedly wouldn’t take an order from Kenneth Horton — an army
veteran and Roxboro police sergeant. “We’re
saddened that an employee denied service to a police officer,”
Roxboro Police Chief David Hess told the outlet. “We promote unity.
Unfortunately, it’s all because of a small action that could have
been avoided.” The manager on duty told the network she was fired
for not being more attentive to Horton once her colleague refused him
service. She didn’t reveal why the cashier refused to serve Horton
— just that she was in the back of the restaurant when the cashier
asked another worker to take the officer’s order.
