81-year-old Man Shoots Self After Sneezing

81-year-old Man Shoots Self After Sneezing:  An 81-year-old man has been hospitalized after accidentally sneezing and shooting himself while attempting to kill a large raccoon that had broken into his home.  Police say they were unable to identify the raccoon because he was wearing a mask.

Zurich to Open Prostitution Drive-Thrus:  The Swiss city of Zurich approved a measure that will open prostitution “drive-thrus” in the city, where customers can place their orders for one of 40 prostitutes and then have sex with them in a wooden booth.  I don’t know what these drive-thrus will be called, but “Jack in the Box” or “In-N-Out” seem to be a pretty good fit.  Just pull up and order yourself a “happy meal.”

Lamar Odom Missing for Three Days:  Lamar Odom's friends and family members reportedly haven't been able to contact the basketball star for almost three days and are concerned he has gone a crack cocaine-fueled drug binge.  Of course the Clippers and Mavericks might argue that he's actually been missing for the past 2 seasons.
