TOE-POPPING PRINCIPAL: A high school assistant principal in Florida was investigated by the sheriff's department after students complained about his method of discipline. Underperforming students were forced to remove a shoe so he could pop their toes. One student claimed his toes had been popped 20 times. The assistant principal was cleared, but was ordered to stop.

IT WAS WORTH A TRY: A Chicago banker re-categorized his $3 million mansion as a church in order to avoid paying $80,000 a year in property taxes. His application for the change featured a picture of an exterior wall of the home with a large cross on it, which was later discovered to have been drawn on the photo itself with a marker. The application was originally approved by the Illnois Department of Revenue, but was recently reversed by an administrative law judge. (Chicago Tribune)
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME: A man in Washington state is recovering from a gunshot wound to the leg that was accidentally self-inflicted while trying to hunt an opossum that had been killing his chickens. He fired his .22 caliber pistol prematurely, hitting his lower right thigh instead of the cat-sized opossum wandering his property. (skagitvalleyherald.com)
