[FOX5] ATLANTA - Atlanta police have arrested a McDonald's employee accused of pushing another employee through the restaurant's window with her car.
Officials say there were called to the McDonald's on the 1,100 block of Northside Drive just after midnight Friday. By the time police got to the scene, the victim, identified as Zoe Gunn, had already been transported to the hospital for treatment.
According to witnesses, the incident started when Gunn tried to break up a fight between two other employees inside the restaurant.
When Gunn went outside to make sure that one of the fighting employees, identified as Destiny Allen, was leaving, police say the argument continued.
Officers say Allen put her vehicle into reverse and sped backward, sending Gunn through a windowpane at the restaurant.
Investigators arrested Allen at the scene and charged her with aggravated assault and 2nd-degree criminal damage to property.
Gunn is reportedly in stable condition and recovering from injuries to her legs.
[NYPOST] An alligator dubbed the "Dollar Store Gator" was removed and relocated from a city in Texas after residents started throwing glass and rocks at the reptile.Residents gave the 400-pound gator the nickname because it spent most of its time hanging around a creek near a dollar store in Port Aransas, MySanAntonio.com reported.
Officials believe the 10-footer had been lurking around the area for two years. Residents who ran into the gator began feeding it, and others began harassing it.
"He’s been showing up on and off for months to the point where half the island was feeding him, and the other half was throwing things at him like glass, rocks and other items," Richard Gleason, the city’s animal control officer, told the outlet.
"No matter what though, he just wasn’t leaving."
Licensed trappers caught the alligator on Monday, and relocated it the next day to Gator Country Adventure Park in Beaumont.
"It was quite a catch," Gleason said. "It took about four or five of us to get him on the truck. He even peeled my skin a bit from sliding down my arm. He was ridiculously strong."
The animal rescue group posted photos of the gator’s capture on Facebook, including one where the gator is being lifted inside the back of a truck.
"Named him ’Fin’ after one of our favorite restaurants there!" the group wrote.

[RUDAW.NET] The marriage of a 51-year-old Yazidi man to a 14-year-old girl has been dissolved after causing controversy, according to a Yazidi official who said the man regrets the marriage.
It is not clear when Sheikh Jouqi Salo, from the Doumiz area of Duhok province, married the girl, who is from Shingal. The union was not officially registered and has now been annulled, according to a Yazidi community representative.
"Their marriage has been dissolved," Jawhar Ali Bag, a deputy to Mir Hazim Tahsin Beg, chief of the Yazidi community, told Rudaw late on Thursday. He said his office contacted Salo, who said he "made a mistake and is sorry and will not repeat such a thing."
Their marriage was condemned when it became public this week.
According to Khayri Bozani, representative of Yazidis at the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) ministry of endowment, the Yazidi religion does not allow marriage under the age of 18. "What happened was a social affair and is not related to the government," he told Rudaw.
The minimum age of marriage in the Kurdistan Region is 18, though a 16-year-old can marry with a judge’s order and the consent of their legal guardian. Anyone forcing someone into marriage, can face up to five years in jail.

[Rooters] Anti-inflammatory colchicine will be tested as a possible COVID-19 treatment in one of the world's biggest trials, the study website posted on Friday, the latest effort to repurpose existing medicines to fight the pandemic. Treatment, not a cure. You know, like hydroxychloroquine. I've been on it for a week now - for Gout
The RECOVERY trial, which is the world's largest clinical trial of treatments for patients hospitalised with COVID-19, will randomly allocate at least 2,500 patients recruited to receive colchicine, which is used as a treatment for gout. Since the ancient Egyptians, I believe.
"Colchicine is an attractive drug to evaluate in the RECOVERY trial as it is very well understood, inexpensive and widely available," SAID Oxford University Professor Peter Horby, who is co-chief investigator for the trial. The plant source of colchicine, the autumn crocus (Colchicum autumnale), was described for treatment of rheumatism and swelling in the Ebers Papyrus (circa 1500 BC), an Egyptian medical papyrus (Wikipedia)

Whoa, Nellie, Big Pharma ain't gonna like that.

Colchincine is used to make monopolied plants polypolied. (multiple numbers of chromosomes) The best strength for that is the same one as squeezing this crocus. It's what the pot growers did for 70 years to make stronger pot.
[Newser] The people of F---ing, Austria have finally had enough of people making fun of the village's name—and stealing their road signs. The village of around 100 people, who are known as F---ingers, will be renamed Fugging as of Jan. 1, 2021, the Guardian reports. The village is part of the municipality of Tarsdorf, near the German border. "I am confirming that it has in fact been decided by the local council. I will not say any more about it," Tarsdorf Mayor Andrea Holzner tells Reuters. The village, said to have been founded by a Bavarian nobleman named Focko, has had the same name, with various spellings, for at least 1,000 years. Deutsche Welle notes that no name change has been announced for the nearby hamlets of Oberf---ing and Unterf---ing. (A German brewer named a beer after the town.)

My question is how do you pronounce ---. My computer vocalizer can't pronounce it. I used the Funkin-Wagnalls database. (That's for the oldsters in the audience)
