It’s a sick prank that sent some commuters off the rails. Two teens dressed in full-body hazmat suits pretended to spill a vat of COVID-19 on a packed Big Apple subway — leaving straphangers screaming as they fled in terror. The pair, identified by Insider as Queens pranksters David Flores, 17, and Morris Cordewell, 19, initially sat calmly in their protective get-ups while holding a clear container with red liquid. “I hope that’s Kool-Aid,” one passenger on the L train in Brooklyn correctly guessed — while another asked, “Is that coronavirus?” The teens both gave thumbs-up signals while telling straphangers...

Yesterday well known Russian pair of phone pranksters, Vovan (Vladimir Kuznetsov) and Lexus (Alexei Stoliarov), placed a phone call to U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) pretending to be Prime Minister Groisman of Ukraine.

The fabled Bishopville swamp creature known as Lizard Man appears to have surfaced again Sunday afternoon. Sarah, a Sumter woman who says she went to church with a friend Sunday morning, stepped out of the sanctuary to see the Lizard Man running along the tree line. So, she did what anyone else would do--took a picture with her phone. "My hand to God, I am not making this up," she wrote in an email to the WCIV newsroom. "So excited!" She says they were just a mile or so from Scape Ore Swamp, the site of a similar spotting of...

Journalists across the nation, moved by the plight of a troubled Muslim psychiatrist whose "understandable emotional turmoil" broke out in gunfire last week at Fort Hood, Texas, will hold a major fundraising event in the coming weeks in honor of the accused shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. News coverage of the tragedy sparked reporters and anchors in the mainstream media to "reach out to Hasan in love and brotherhood because his righteous indignation at the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan led him to express his outrage in the only avenue open to a non-journalist," according to an unnamed organizer...

FOUR prison officers have been sacked and two more counselled in the wake of the so-called "Sausagegate" scandal, which hurt and humiliated a vulnerable inmate of the privately owned and run Port Phillip Prison. The Bracks Government has put GSL Australia, operator of the Laverton maximum-security complex, on notice over a spate of alarming incidents. The prisoner was tricked into believing he was leaving the jail, coerced into inserting a sausage in his body, then strip-searched by officers "in" on the "joke". The dismissed officers were corrections supervisor Trevor Spearman, who allegedly tried to cover up the incident, and corrections...

Sometimes I wonder about all this business of keeping the Ken Kesey kettle cooking; if it hasn’t gone a bit too far? I mean I liked the guy and respected the fact that the Oregon author wrote two fine books about his home state-- “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” and probably his masterpiece, “Sometimes a Great Notion”--as well as a number of other, less-successful works. And that he liked little kids, was a good father and farmer, an inspiring teacher. But the sixties bit, the ongoing “Merry Pranksters” hullaboo, gets a bit tiresome. Once, at a book convention in...
