A Puerto Rican man has been granted his wish to remain standing — even in death. A funeral home used a special embalming treatment to keep the corpse of 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina standing upright for his three-day wake.

A giant inflatable dog turd created by the American artist Paul McCarthy was blown from its moorings at the Paul Klee Center, a museum located in Berne, Switzerland. The “art” brought down a power line and broke a window before landing in the grounds of a children’s home.

For example, in the late 1800s, when trying to rob a train for thousands of dollars in government tribal payments, he ended up robbing a passenger train instead, taking away 46 dollars and some booze. A short time later, he took a bullet to the chest and died. But that’s when his career really took off!
