Charleston, West Virginia Mayor Danny Jones had a problem getting through airport security at a California airport after realizing he had misplaced his driver's license. Fortunately, as guards at John Wayne Airport in Orange County searched his bag, they found a copy of Charleston Magazine which included a photograph of the Mayor. They let him through.

Alaska State Trooper Howard Peterson was driving on the Seward Highway south of Anchorage when something big and black fell out of the sky about 20 feet in front of his patrol car. At first he thought it was falling rock but it didn't move or shatter. Turns out a moose had fallen from the 150-foot cliffs near the highway. While sheep are often seen on the cliff, he said spotting a moose is very rare.

A fisherman in England caught a world-record minnow, a four-and-a-half inch fish weighing in at 5-1/4 ounces. ***He’s having it mounted, but it's too small for his fireplace – so he’s hanging it over his cigarette lighter.
