The strongman leader of Zimbabwe does not want anyone else to use his toilet.  Robert Mugabe, the aging dictator bought a new toilet at a trade fare and told his staff no one else was to use it.  Well a police officer did use it without permission....in an emergency and he has been sent to jail.

A central Ohio animal shelter with a load of chubby cats is having a sale on its fattest felines, hoping a discount will entice people to buy them.  The Capital Area Humane Society says the fat cats are on sale this summer for $15 each or two for $20, instead of the usual $70 adoption price.  Nine of the shelter's 55 cats are overweight.  The largest cat is a 6-year-old black-and brown shorthair named Zebe, who weighs 23 pounds.

As we close in on Father's Day, let's pay tribute to a Utah dad today.  Dale Price has been waving goodbye to his son's school bus every day for years.....but he did it a little differently.  He would put on a costume or dress quite odd.  One day he might be batman, the next he would put on a little Mermaid costume.  He's also dressed as Santa and Elvis.  He says he did it to let his son know how much he cares.  But now that his son is in 10th grade, he says he'll retire the costumes.

Members of Orlando Food Not Bombs were arrested when police said they violated a city ordinance by feeding the homeless in Lake Eola Park.  The ordinance restricts group feedings in public parks.  Orlando Food Not Bombs has been feeding the homeless breakfast on Mondays for several years and dinner on Wednesdays for five years.  The penalty for violating Orlando's ordinance is 60 days in jail, a $500 fine or both.
