What grandmother would actually stay out all day and night, 43 hours total to get their grandson an icecream.
It wasn't just any ice cream, it was the 2010 opening day of a Stevens Point ice cream landmark. Belts, a soft serve ice cream palor was scheduled to open its doors on Friday at 11am.
Michelle Cuestas who lives in Green Bay took two days off work using her vacation. She wanted to be sure her grandson, Brayden Banks, a six year old would be first in line for his ice cream.
Michelle arrived at the ice cream palor on Wednesday and Brayden joined her on Thursday. She was set up to sleep in her car over night, but that changed when she found she had locked her keys inside the car. Then she slept in the ice cream palors restroom over night.
Once her grandson arrived, the time went much faster as they spent the next twentyfour hours playing games and doing other activities.
Brayden did get the first ice cream from Belts Soft Serve.
The grandmother says it was all worth it. Making memories with Brayden is priceless.
In Britain, Paul Railton, a man 23 years of age, was seen by a bike rider walking his dog in this unusual way.
Paul was sitting behind the steering wheel of his car with the leash going out his window attached to the dog who was trotting along side the car.
I have seen this done as an act of being funny and lazy before, but never known anyone to actually do it.
I suppose if you were unable to walk, it may be an acceptable situation.
Paul is able to walk. He was just being a bit lazy he admitted to his lawyer.
Paul's lawyer also stated that it was an uncommon circumstance. He usually does not walk his dog in this manner.
Paul Railton was charged with not maintaining proper control of his automobile. He lost his drivers license for 6 months after receiving three additional points on it for this incident. He already had points on his license for other reasons. Those last three made him loose his driving rights for 6 months. He also had to pay a 100 dollar fine plus court cost.
Now he says it may be cheaper on him not having his own car.
It is a tragedy that happened at SeaWorld as people watching the training session.
Dawn Brancheau, 40 years of age, had always wanted to be an animal trainer according to her sister, Diane Gross. She described it as Dawns dream job.
Around 2pm on Wednesday, Dawn was in the pool with Tilikum. They were in water that was only up to her knees. Tilikum reached up and grabbed Dawns ponytail, then pulled her under the water.
The whale was acting very assertive. To get to Dawn, other employees of SeaWorld had to get Tilikun into another pool which was smaller. Once in the smaller pool they lifted the whale out of the water.
Dawn had been rubbing Tilikums head. It is possible while she was bending over towards him that her ponytail passed in front of his nose and it may have tickled him.
The whale then grabbed Dawns ponytail and pulled her beneath the water.
There is no thought of foul play. The whale could have been being playful but didn't understand the result of it's play. In the wild, whales have been known to play with seals and sea lions. They playfully toss them in the air, but later let them go.
It is a very large mamual, Tilikum weighed approximately 12,000 pounds
It's a tragedy that this occured. It will make people become more aware of the dangers of with keeping wild animals in captivity. We could loose the only way we have of actually seeing one of these animals up close.
a 40 year old man wanted to break the record of Hezi Dayan's 64hours in the ice.
Is it really that challenging to endanger your life to break the record of someone else. A record of being a human ice cube for over 63 hours.
It must have been, Palychevsky remained in the ice for 64 hurs and 32 minutes.
It was ten years ago that the record was set by David Blaine with 63 hours in the ice. A record broken by Dayan just one month before Palychevsky did his stunt.
Palychevsky is known also as Mr Fix amongst other magicians. After the ordeal, he stumbled away from his ice prison. He wasn't in great shape. He was really close to being frozen to death.
He is doing much better now.
Videos of the ordeal have been forwarded to the Guinness World Records to be authenticated.

During the Australian vs Scotland rugy match, the game was interrupted by an unusual site. A man, apparently forgot to dress for the game. He ran out onto the field naked and actually tried to intercept a pass from one of the Scottish team members.
The event took place in Wellington which is in New Zealand. The match was called the Wellington IRB Stevens.
It isn't know if the streaker was a fan for either team but we do know he won't be attending anymore games too soon. He was removed from the stadium and was told he could not attend a game for 6 months.
A man admiring the sunset on the North Sea climbed over the thick ice to get a picture of it. He was located close to the town of St. Peter-Ording. He climbed over the ice from the coastal area and then became confused as to how to get back and darkness was setting in.
Luckily, a lady in the Northern parts of Germany, hundreds of miles away, had her webcam on and was admiring the same sunset.
The man did a very smart move which the lady saw on her webcam. He used his camera flash to hoping for someone to see it.
The lady did. As she was watching the beautiful sunset on her computer at her home, she saw the flashing lights and knew there was a problem. She let the police know what she was seeing.
The police then found the man also by his flashing light. They then started flashing the lights on their automobiles to help him find his was back to the coast line.
If he had not been found, he would have froze to death or could have easily fell through the ice.
Tourists are drawn to these sunsets and it's alwasy a risk as it is getting dark and they could get lost.
A teacher of science was trying to take the head of a dead seal he had found on the beach in Boston back home with him to use it in studies.
He said the seal was already dead, and he simply cut off it's head and put it into a cooler to take back home with him.
As he started to get onto a plane in Boston at the Logan Airport, security officers checked the small canvas ice chest that was his. Inside they found the seals head.
The man was held and examined by federal and state officers. After they were finished with their questioning of the man, he was permitted to get on the plane, but the seals head remained behind. It is being held by investigators that work at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Fisheries Office for Law Enforcement.
The teacher could be facing accusations under the Protection Act for Marine Mammals. He could be penalized up to $12,000 for a civil fine there. Then he could face up to another $20,000 penalty for criminal fines and a possible jail term of a year.
