She didn't get a cent by the way.

The article itself kinda buries the detail that the toilet paper incident actually happened a long time ago and this is the first time she ran into problems with her damaged passport in years of using it though.

Car rolls into water after spider scares teen driver while parked at a boat ramp in Pittwater

quote:

In scenes similar to a car insurance advert, the vehicle had to be fished out of Pittwater today after a spider decided to launch itself onto the shocked driver’s lap.

The 18-year-old woman had just pulled up at the Bayview Boat Ramp, on the northern beaches, just after 7am when a large huntsman spider dropped out from under the visor.

The girl leapt out of the car “and started doing a spider dance” to try to get the arachnid off her, witnesses said.

Biohacker’s Opal hand implant cancelled

quote:

The body-hacking scientist who implanted an Opal card chip in his hand claims the NSW government has finally made good on threats to cancel his pass. But the defiant “biohacker” is preparing to fight the move in court.

Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow, which is his legal name, cut down the Opal chip and had it encased in biocompatible plastic and implanted just under the skin on his left hand by a piercing expert in April 2017.

Mr Meow-Meow said he would launch legal action against TfNSW for unlawfully cancelling his cards.

Bank sues customer for hitting up overly generous ATM that spat out $100s

quote:

A Kansas woman is facing a pricey lawsuit after a bank accused her of making dozens of withdrawals from a faulty ATM that was dispensing $100 bills instead of $5 bills, a local report said Tuesday.
...
Ochoa reportedly made more than 50 withdrawals over five days in mid-January, several of which were done in the middle of the night, according to documents obtained by the Eagle.
...
Christy claimed that her daughter made that many transactions in the short period of time because she wanted enough $5 bills to create a “money cake” as a gift for someone, The Eagle said.

Truth or not, I would have loved to have heard the conversation where the idea of a "money cake" first comes up.

Man with world's longest fingernails gets them cut after 66 years

quote:

The record holder, from Pune, India, stopped trimming his fingernails in 1952 after he was told off by a teacher for messing around with a friend and accidentally breaking the teacher's nail.

The teacher said Mr Chillal would never understand what it took to take care of long fingernails and the student set out to prove his teacher wrong, going on to dedicate his life to taking care of his claws.

"I don't know whether the teacher is dead now or not but I would definitely like to say that the thing for which you scolded me, I took it as a challenge and I have completed the challenge and now, I am here," he said.


Not mentioned in this particular article is that they needed a circular saw to cut off the nails.

The woman's home had lost power after a thunderstorm and the family came back from a trip to Home Depot empty-handed, since the store was closed.

Well to be fair, it turns out it's a good way to scare off (some types of) birds.

https://twitter.com/Gizmodo/status/1051133782475120647

quote:

A raptor subject to this experiment would be minding its own business, searching for its next meal. Suddenly, it sees a pair of eyes glaring back at it. The scene fills the bird’s visual field. Worse, the eyes appear to be getting nearer. Thinking a collision with another bird is imminent, the raptor swoops away. The experience is probably unpleasant and unsettling enough to keep the birds away from the area.
