L.A. casino fined $500,000 for looking the other way when a gambler brought duffle bags stuffed with $100 million for marathon gambling sessions

Man, I've heard of stories like this.  I was at Hawaiian Gardens years ago, and one of the Baccarat players were telling me there was a whale that brings in $100k a session to the high limit room.  $100 million though.  And they are going to the Bike?  Then again, I guess they weren't tracking, so that's where a degen would want to go.

carrying duffle bags filled with cash seems like a good way to lose a lot of cash before you even get inside the casino.

Woman trespasses in zoo's lion exhibit, throwing cash and flowers at the animals

A woman who was charged two years ago with trespassing near the lion exhibit and taunting the animals at the Bronx Zoo is wanted again for doing the same this past week, New York City police said.

Police asked for the public's help Friday night in locating Myah Autry, 32, who is accused of trespassing in a fenced-in area near the lion exhibit Thursday.

Cellphone video obtained shows a woman wearing a red dress and leopard print shawl standing across a moat from a lion and talking to it, holding roses and tossing money.

"This situation involves one individual who is determined to harass our lions with no regard for her safety or the safety of our staff and our guests, and no regard for the well-being of the lions," a zoo spokesperson said in a statement posted by FOX 5 New York. "The Bronx Zoo has a zero-tolerance policy in matters such as this and will aggressively seek prosecution against this individual and anyone who violates park safety rules."

Hey now. Maybe the lion is paying his way through college.

Pentagon launching new UFO investigation unit, replacing Navy group: report

The Defense Department is launching the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group, a unit that will be charged with finding and identifying UFOs in restricted airspace, officials said Tuesday.

The new group will replace the U.S. Navy’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, the military said in a statement, according to the New York Post.

Using the most recent 30-year climatological averages (1991-2020) from NOAA, we've compiled a list of the seven U.S. cities that have the highest average annual snowfall.

For this analysis, we only included cities with a population of at least 50,000 residents. This ruled out some smaller cities that would have otherwise made the list, including (in no particular order) Bozeman, Montana; Burlington, Vermont; Caribou, Maine; Lander, Wyoming; Marquette, Michigan; Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan; Traverse City, Michigan; and Watertown, New York.

The outright snowiest place in America is Crater Lake National Park in Oregon's Cascade Mountains, where an average winter brings 463.1 inches of snow.
