Bear walks into shop, strolls out with candies
• Bear
Nobody likes a bear inside the premises of their building, but a worker at 7-Eleven store in Olympic Valley was shocked to see a bear entering a store in California as the furry animal snacked and shoplifted some candies from the store.
The incident took place on September 6, 2022, according to a local news report. Media reports quoted cashier Christopher Kinson as saying that he was working the night shift when he discovered the brown bear.
“It came in, sniffed around, and once it got the food that it wanted, it scooted right out the door,” he said.
The bear’s entry was captured by the CCTV installed inside the convenience store. Mr Kinson said the footage did not do justice and that the furry animal was actually “20 per cent to 30 per cent bigger in real life.”
“I was scared initially, but they just want to eat. You always have to be careful though. We do not know how exactly they are thinking. Initially I was scared, but after 15, 20 seconds, I was fine,” the store clerk said.
After the bear’s repeated trips, Mr Kinson decided to stop the animal’s invasion so that the store would not become a source of its food. So, he blocked the door with a garbage bag and a mop. — ndtv.com

Texas woman’s tongue is the world’s widest at 3.11 inches
A Texas woman was awarded a Guinness World Records title for the surprising contents of her mouth – a 3.11-inch-wide tongue.
Brittany Lacayo told the record-keeping organization she decided to apply for the title after learning about the former record-holder, Emily Schlenker, whose tongue measured 2.89 inches wide.
Lacayo’s tongue is exactly as wide as the average length of an adult woman’s tongue: 3.11 inches.
Her tongue actually is wider than it is long when measured from the epiglottis, the flap of cartilage located behind the tongue.
“It is neat and kind of funny,” Lacayo told Guinness World Records.
The male version of the record belongs to American Brian Thompson, whose tongue measures 3.49 inches wide.

Ohio man’s dog license number earns him $50,000 lottery prize
An Ohio man used the numbers from his beloved dog’s license tag to play a Pick 5 lottery, drawing and scored a $50,000 prize.
Roger Sours of Tiffin told Ohio Lottery officials he bought a ticket for Wednesday’s Pick 5 drawing at the Pit Stop on N Washington Street in Tiffin and selected a special set of numbers: 1-0-8-2-2.
“I play two sets of numbers for Pick 5 and this number, the number that hit was actually my license number for my German Shepherd that I played. She’s no longer with us anymore,” he said.
Sours said he was shocked when he watched the lottery results on TV.
“I just sat here. I watched the lottery when I can, when it’s on TV and I just sat here. It was like, I froze. I just couldn’t believe that it hit,” he recalled.
Sours said his winnings will go toward taking care of some bills and giving a boost to his savings account.
