Another fun read...

"A woman called 911 after a man sporting chain mail, a battle helmet, shield, sword and staff ran into a Portland, Ore., intersection and attacked her car."

"The woman reported the fighting man as a pirate on May 13, but Bass challenged that title and told police he was a “high elf engaged in battle with the evil Morgoth.”

"Bass also admitted to taking LSD before the swordfight, he told officers."

Who doesn't?? I drop acid before any battle, but I prefer a Morning Star over a sword. It's not quite as nimble as a sword, but what you lose in mobility you more than make up for with bludgeoning power.

Bass had never been able to tell the difference between Morgoth and Mascot

Ok, not Portland- but happened in Oregon and I can't quit laughing at the story

Calhoon told investigators he'd held his breath intentionally, apparently participating in a superstitious game.

"Upon entering a tunnel, passengers hold their breath," the lifestyle magazine Complex explained last year. (Emphasis added.) "Parents love this game because if you pass out for a while after holding your breath too long, everybody wins. Unless you're the driver, then everybody loses."

A spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said it doesn't have any statistics to indicate how often drivers pass out after choosing to deprive themselves of air.
