Morgan Freeman is Recovering
Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman was hospitalized in serious condition after the car he was driving left a rural road in the Mississippi Delta and flipped several times.
Freeman was said to have been in serious condition but in "good spirits".

A farmer in Hopper, Utah has erected a fence in his backyard made of three old cars sticking up in the air to send a message to new neighbors that he can do whatever he wants on his farm. "This is just a fun way for me to say, 'Hey boys, I'm still here,'" said Rhett Davis. "This is my redneck Stonehenge."
Davis came up with the idea after neighbors who recently moved into homes next to his hayfield complained about his farm.

Too Fat to Be Executed
A death row inmate scheduled for execution says he's too fat to be put to death, claiming executioners would have trouble finding his veins and that his weight could diminish the effectiveness of one of the lethal injection drugs.
Cooey |
Lawyers for the inmate argue in a federal lawsuit that the inmate-- 5-feet-7 and 267 pounds -- had poor veins when he faced execution five years ago and the problem has been worsened by weight gain. The inmate is sentenced to die for raping and murdering two young women in 1986. His execution is scheduled for October 14.
