Help! I'm Invisible!
Police in Winder, Georgia have reported a 28-year-old man called 911 with a unique emergency: he says he turned invisible. The suspect -- who in fact was perfectly visible to emergency crews -- reportedly wanted a ride to the hospital on February 17 so he could "get more medications," notes BarrowPatch. EMTs told deputies they'd responded to the man's residence at least four times in the past few weeks; he was warned he'd be arrested if he misused the emergency number again. The reportedly invisible man had prior arrests for criminal trespass and -- wait for it -- failure to appear in court.
F-U Autocorrect!
Millions of texters have fallen victim to cellphone auto-correction software, but that technological quirk turned serious on Wednesday, when an accidentally corrected message led to schools in Hall County, Florida being locked down. The sender shot off the message, "gunna be at west hall today," but the word "gunna" was auto-corrected to "gunman." To make matters worse, the text was accidentally sent to the wrong person, and that random recipient alerted the authorities. As a result, cops told administrators at West Hall high and middle schools to go on lockdown, reports the Gainsville Times. Hall Superintendent Will Schofield said even though the situation turned out to be a false alarm, it proved the system worked.
