A Chicago dentist mistakenly dropped a dental file down Janus Pawlowicz's throat during a root canal operation without realizing it! Where'd that bridge go?! Thieves stole a 40 foot long footbridge weighing 5000 pounds from a property in Detroit, Michigan, which was later found 20 miles away in Belleville, Michigan! Neil Scallan of Three Bridges, England, has collected over 1677 unique Monopoly sets, despite not playing the game for more than 20 years!
