Cop pays fine for driver who brought cash from son’s piggy bank
A senior police inspector paid a driver’s fine after getting to know that the driver had brought money from his child’s piggy bank to free his vehicle.
Senior police inspector, Ajay Malviya, was moved when he saw the auto driver using his own son’s savings to pay the fine and decided to pay the amount out of his (inspector’s) pocket.
The auto driver had reportedly parked his vehicle in a no-parking zone on August 8, for which he was issued a fine of about 2,000 Rupee. The vehicle was seized as he could not pay the fine.
Unable to pay the fine himself, he brought coins from his son’s piggy bank to the police – however, the police refused to accept the coins, according to reports.
A teary-eyed driver approached the police and requested that his vehicle be returned to him.
Noticing the plastic bag of coins in his hand, the cop asked him what the trouble was. Upon getting to know about the driver’s financial situation, Mr Malviya returned the boy’s money and paid the fine himself. – 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.

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.
