Two men hospitalized after jumping into canal at Venetian in Las Vegas


(Reuters) - Two men jumped into a canal at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas and, because they could not swim, had to be rescued and hospitalized, a spokesman for the hotel said on Thursday.

The disturbance on Monday morning at the Venetian, which is located on the Las Vegas Strip and draws many tourists for its gondola rides inspired by the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, was first reported on Thursday.

The two men were caught on hotel surveillance cameras jumping over the fence that surrounds the hotel's canal along Las Vegas Boulevard, hotel spokesman Keith Salwoski said in an email. "Apparently, the individuals were unable to swim and were pulled from the water," he said.

The two individuals were transported in critical condition by ambulance to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, said Clark County Fire Department deputy chief Jeff Buchanan.

He could not share any details on their latest condition.

It was unclear what led the men to jump into the canal.

A Las Vegas police representative could not be reached for comment.

Every parent knows that sinking feeling that comes over you when you realize your children have been quiet for a while — too quiet.

Gina Gardner Brown noticed that her 3-year-old daughter and 18-month-old son were silent for way too long and decided to turn the video camera on before going to find what they were up to — thank goodness she did.

Brown found her two children sitting on the kitchen table, Ethan covered in peanut butter from head to toe, and Emily smiling proudly at her masterpiece, hands covered in the spread with the empty jar next to her. While this is most moms' worst nightmare, Brown handled it like a champ, encouraging her little budding artist but suggesting, "let's not do this again. This is not something we should repeat."

Watch the video and see the kids' reactions to Ethan being covered in sticky peanut butter and how their mama handled it all flawlessly. We should all take a page out of her book — messes can be cleaned up, and priceless moments should be celebrated.

One Man'��s Brilliant Way to Provide Homes to the Homeless

"I couldn't ignore human suffering right next to me," he says.

Elvis had read about the tiny-house movement, in which people construct homes measuring 500 square feet or fewer, and believed he had the construction know-how to fashion a similar structure for Smokie.

He spent $500 on building supplies and, in five days, built a 3.5-by-8-foot house, complete with a locking door and side window, at the curb in front of his apartment. The tiny house, which Elvis furnished with a mattress, pillows, and a blanket, sits on wheels so it can be moved every 72 hours to comply with city law. The finishing touch, a sign reading Home Sweet Home, hangs from one of the cedar clapboard walls, donated along with roof shingles by a local business.

On the first night in her new home, Smokie "felt so relaxed, I think I must have slept half the day," she told a local news station.

In April, Elvis posted on YouTube a video of the house as it was being built, racking up six million views in four days. He began fund-raising online to build more tiny houses for the needy, and in a month, he had accrued more than $80,000.

With the funds he has raised, he's building several more houses, including one for a homeless elderly handicapped man and his dog. Eventually, Elvis wants to hire homeless people to help with construction, and he already has his first employee lined up: Smokie. "I'm ready to start building," she says.

"" (NEWSER) – There's no time to consult a
dictionary in the midst of a jealous rage,
apparently. Police in Connecticut say they
charged a 20-year-old woman with criminal
mischief on Thursday after she allegedly keyed
the cars of her ex and a former friend but
misspelled a key word in the process. It didn't
take Stamford police long to establish a motive
after finding the word "wore" etched into the
friend's car, reports the Stamford Advocate .
Assuming the speller had left out an "h," they
took note of angry texts Shannon Csapilla had
sent to her ex-boyfriend claiming he had
cheated on her with the friend, along with his
testimony that Csapilla admitted to the crime.
When officers initially questioned Csapilla, she
denied the Aug. 7 vandalism, which included
slashing the tires of both vehicles, police say.
But immediately after leaving police
headquarters, she allegedly posted a photo of
the building on Snapchat, and captioned it,
"Stamford police have nothing on me."
Someone who received the message quickly
informed police. Little did Csapilla know, "we
did have enough and we obtained two arrest
warrants from a judge and took her into
custody at her home," an officer says.""

Beware manspreading, enjoy wine o'clock: new Oxford words



LONDON (AP) — Manspreading is so widespread it's now a word.

—beer o'clock, n: the appropriate time of day to start drinking beer

—wine o'clock, n: same as above, only with wine

—Brexit, n.: a term for the potential or hypothetical departure of the United Kingdom from the 28-nation European Union

—Grexit, n.: a term for the potential withdrawal of Greece from the 19-nation eurozone, the countries in the European Union that use the shared euro currency.

—butt dial, v.: calling someone accidentally with your mobile phone in a rear pocket

—cat cafe, n.: a café or similar establishment where people pay to interact with cats housed on the premises
