Mom Searching For Size 23 Shoe For Her Son
14-year old Eric, Jr. is 6 foot 10 and wears a size 23 shoe. And he’s having a hard time finding shoes big enough for his feet, most companies don’t make a shoe that big. His foot is the size of an average mailbox. When Eric, Jr. was born, the doctor looked at his parents and told them their son had the biggest feet he’s ever seen! Poor guy has resorted to wearing Crocs all the time because that’s the only thing his huge feet will fit into. Eric, Jr.’s mom is finding it difficult to find a shoe big enough despite calling all the major shoe companies, they simply don’t make a shoe that large. Her last hope is having custom shoes made from an orthopedic specialist. The problem is obviously the cost, but she believes her son is still growing and will probably outgrow the size 23 shoes she’ll pay a ton of money to have custom-made. Eric, Jr. is applying for the Guinness Book of World Records for a teenager with the biggest feet.

Another Pigeon Caught Smuggling Drugs Into A Prison
I’ve had a story just like this before! Authorities in Canada caught a pigeon with a drug smuggling backpack attached to it, however there were no drugs found. The Canadian authorities believe the bird was being trained to move the drugs to and from the prison. The backpack was made out of cut up jeans and attached to the bird with a cut up bed sheet. Back in December a carrier pigeon was caught in a neighboring prison with a backpack full of crystal meth.

Florida Woman Pulls Gun on McDonald’s Employee For Menu Item That Doesn’t Exist
A woman was recently arrested in Cococa, Florida for pulling a gun on a McDonald’s drive-though employee. The woman demanded a “cheeseburger bundle” however that is not an item that McDonald’s serves. The bundle is available at some McDonald’s locations across the country, but not all… and never with the cheeseburger, only a double cheeseburger, a McChicken or nuggets. The bundle is $3 and includes the sandwich or nuggets and a small fry. The employee offered to sell the woman a cheeseburger and small fry (which is exactly what the bundle is…) however the woman refused and pulled the gun on the employee. When the police arrived, they found that the woman did not have a driver’s license, she faces charges of open carry of a weapon, knowingly driving without a license, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill – which is a felony…
