Octopus sets off flood at aquarium
Officials say 8-legged resident pulled open a valve in tank
SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Staff at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium say the trickster who flooded their offices with sea water was armed. Eight-armed, to be exact.
They blame the soaking they discovered Tuesday morning on the aquarium's resident two-spotted octopus, a tiny female known for being curious and gregarious with visitors. The octopus apparently tugged on a valve and that allowed hundreds of gallons of water to overflow its tank.
Aquarium spokeswoman Randi Parent says no sea life was harmed by the flood, but the brand new, ecologically designed floors might be damaged by the water.
Woman, 70, fights off intruders with sauce pan
Four teens had pushed their way into her Ohio home
ELYRIA, Ohio - The 70-year-old wife of an Ohio judge said teens who tried to rob her made her so angry that she whacked one in the head with a sauce pan.
Ellen Basinski said she was on the phone with her husband Tuesday when four boys pushed their way into her home in Elyria, west of Cleveland.
Lorain County Judge David Basinski overheard the scuffle and raced home, while his wife grabbed her favorite pan to defend herself against the intruders rifling through her purse and cabinets.
One of the teens told police he threw a bottle of whiskey at Basinski to distract her so another boy could flee. They ran from the house but were later caught and charged with aggravated burglary.
The judge said his wife is upset that police took the pan as evidence.
On hearing the news, Chef Emeril Lagasse said he felt so bad that the woman that he's replacing the item.
Lagasse planned to send Basinski a whole new set of his signature cookware.
The judge said his wife is upset that police took the pan as evidence.
^^ BAHAHAHAHA
