Double-Faced Cat
A Suncoast, Florida, family said they were shocked when their cat gave birth to a kitten with two faces, a condition known as diprosopus. Nash Hand and his wife, Amanda Forsythe, said their cat, Nene, gave birth Monday and they were shocked to see the kitten had two faces, a condition that earns such felines the nickname Janus cat, after the Roman god with two faces. The couple said they named the cat Harvey Dent, after the “Batman” villain Two-Face. “They simultaneously work together, the two faces. When he eats on one side it looks like he is eating on the other. When he meows it comes out of both sides,” Forsythe said. Dr. Greg Fluharty with the Animal Clinic in Port Charlotte said he examined the feline and he appears healthy. Harvey has an appointment this week with a vet neurologist to conduct further tests.

Update: Obama’s Old Car Fails To Sell On eBay
A gray 2005 Chrysler 300C leased by Barack Obama in 2004 failed to sell for the asking price of $1 million on eBay, the Chicago-area seller said. Lisa Czibor, the eBay seller working on behalf of owner Tim O’Boyle, said the $1 million asking price may have been too high for bidders, and the auction ended Wednesday without any bids meeting the minimum. “We’re trying to talk him into rerunning it now and making some changes to (the listing),” Czibor said. “Lowering the price and contacting Obama to find out if there’s a charity he’d like us to donate some of the profits to. In the end, it’s (O’Boyle’s) car. It’s up to him.” The description in the auction said Obama leased the car in 2004, when he was still an Illinois state senator, and he traded it in for a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid while running for president.

STOP THE PRESSES! Student Goes 90 Days Without Cell Phone
A Chicago student who spent 90 days abstaining from cell phones and social media said the first two weeks were “anxiety-ridden.” Jake Reilly, 24, a student at the advertising and design-focused Chicago Portfolio School, said he was originally only going to give up his phone, but he decided to expand it to all social media when he realized his communication would just migrate to other forms of technology. Reilly said the first two weeks of his project, which he began in October, were “anxiety-ridden.” “All of a sudden, you get home on a Friday night and there’s no one around and it’s just you and your thoughts,” he said. “Very scary.” Reilly said he soon found staying away from cell phones and Facebook increased his face-to-face interactions and made him more active. “I rode my bike all over the city,” he said. “I made collages. I did puzzles. I did all these things that I normally never would have considered. And you know what, I loved all that.”

Pork Spill
A tractor-trailer carrying pork products collided with a box truck in Virginia, spilling about 20 tons of frozen pork onto U.S. Highway 13. The crash happened around 4 a.m. yesterday near Machipongo, Virginia. One person was taken to a hospital, while crews worked to clean up about 41,000 pounds of frozen pork, Virginia State Police said. The rig went around a curve, jackknifed and then went across the median about the same time that a box truck was heading south. The driver of the box truck swerved and hit the trailer of the rig head-on, causing debris to fly across the road along with the pork from the tractor-trailer. The tractor-trailer driver was charged with failure to maintain a lane of travel. All lanes of U.S. 13 were closed until 11 a.m. while crews were cleaning up the bacon and other debris.

Man Shot For Singing A Country Song
A California man is facing charges after allegedly shooting his son because he didn’t like his karaoke singing. Police say it started with a heated argument between 70-year-old William Oller Sr. and his 50-year-old son, William Oller Jr. The father allegedly asked his son to stop singing, and when he didn’t he told him “I’m going to shut you up.” Police say that’s when he walked to his truck to find his handgun and opened fire on his son, grazing him with five bullets, with a sixth still lodged in the would-be singer’s shoulder. Oller, Jr. is recovering and says that he doesn’t have “total movement” back in his shoulder, but expects that he will. Oller Jr. said he couldn’t recall what song he’d been singing that led to the argument, but believed it was a Kenny Chesney tune. Oller Sr. was arrested last Thursday. He pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges on Tuesday.

Pennsylvania game officials say a hunter has received rabies shots after he field-dressed a deer that tested positive for rabies. The Game Commission said the hunter from Manheim in Lancaster County had scratches on his hands and had field-dressed the deer without using gloves. The deer had been standing in a creek, growling when the hunter shot it on January 20th in Chester County’s Valley Township, outside Philadelphia.

Piggyback Attacks

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A 250-pound man with a history of jumping on the backs of student athletes in the Pacific Northwest has pleaded guilty to assault.

The Independent Record reports 28-year-old Sherwin Shayegan acknowledged in court Wednesday that he hopped on two players at a soccer tournament in Helena in October. He pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of assault.

Last spring, the Oregon School Activities Association warned athletes to look out for Shayegan after he turned up at events in Eugene and Pendleton and got piggyback rides from some athletes. Police in Bonney Lake, Wash., say he gave money to an athlete and jumped on his back.

Judge Bob Wood gave him a 360-day suspended jail sentence, fined him $730 and told him to "go back to Seattle and behave."

Bucket List-Police Chase

BUTTE, Mont. (AP) — A 55-year-old Montana man who says he "always wanted" to be part of a police chase can check that off his bucket list.

The Montana Standard reports John C. Hughes followed a patrol car for seven blocks early Thursday before pulling his SUV around and taking off at speeds of up to 70 mph. Officers say the Butte man was driving faster than 100 mph on an interstate toward Rocker, Mont.

Officers in that city laid out a spiked strip to flatten the tires on the SUV.

A police report says Hughes told officers he "just always wanted" to see what it would be like to be in a police chase. Officers say Hughes had not been drinking.

Hughes faces a charge of reckless driving while eluding police.
