Well-Seasoned Roads
You know how they throw salt onto roads, to stop the ice being so slippery? Yeah? Well, in Iowa, they're adding... garlic salt.
I had no idea vampires had become such a problem!

Unfortunate.
A postal worker in Mount Clemens, Michigan, had a bit of bad luck when he tried to pawn the gold he'd allegedly stolen from a parcel. The pawn shop's jeweller recognised the item as one he'd just posted. The postal worker couldn't have known, because the parcel had the jeweller's own name as the sender (rather than the pawn shop).
What are the chances?! Seems like crime doesn't pay!

Sofa Driver Fights Citations
No, the weird part isn't that he is fighting the citations. (Although, it's ambitious, I'll grant him that.)
To me, the weirdest part is that he was driving a sofa.
The second weirdest part is what he actually got into trouble for. Namely, the sofa was unregistered and the plates were expired. Are they suggesting that driving a sofa is quite alright, as long as it has current registration and numberplates? Seriously?

Hand over that kitchen implement!
They must have desperately wanted an omelette, or something.
A homeowner in Florida was woken just before 4am as two armed intruders forced their way into his home and demanded... an egg beater.

More than a facelift
Surgeons have replaced 80 percent of a woman's face, transplanting bone, teeth, muscle and nerve in the first such operation in the United States. (Reuters) http://uk.reuters.com/article/scienceNews/idUKTRE4BG73E20081217
This isn't a medical first, but it's the first time they've gone to such lengths.
Imagine looking into the mirror and seeing someone else!
What do you think?

Grotty Snotty Lot!
I only find this believable because it's a celebrity. And we know they do weird things.
Scarlett Johansson caught a cold from co-star Samuel L. Jackson, Jay Leno handed her a tissue, and Johansson then announced she would sell it on eBay.
Nasty.
The only un-nasty part is that the money will go to charity.

Rest In ...Pieces?
Poor Mr Wang and his family. At a family member's wake after a funeral, an apparent severe thunderstorm struck the house, blowing off half the roof and killing Wang Diange.
His family then arranged his own funeral, including a cremation, and were shocked as his body exploded in the furnace.
Investigations revealed that his death, and the cremation explosion, were caused by a weather rocket shell lodged in his body.

Unlucky.
RIP, Wang.
