Robber Nabbed After Leaving Finger Behind
responded to a call around 7 a.m., the News & Record reported. A homeowner told them that as he walked from his car to his front door, an armed man approached him and tried to force his way inside the house. The two struggled and a gunshot grazed the victim’s chest, but he wasn’t seriously injured. The victim was able to slam the door on the suspect — or, more precisely, on the sus- pect’s hand.
and the “moans and groans of someone in extreme pain,” but spokesperson Sarah Jantz said the noises are “caused by a mechanical issue with the PA amplifier.”

sues such as conflict between ex-Soviet nations, fighting terrorism and illegal drugs.
The Scent Of Musk
The scent won’t start ship- ping until September 2023, so you can cross it off your Christmas list for this year.
On Sept. 13, ophthalmolo- gist Katerina Kurteeva, who practices in Newport Beach, California, shared with her Instagram followers a trou- bling video, Oddity Central reported.
Electric cars, trips to space, Twitter — it’s never enough for serial entrepreneur Elon Musk. Now, Reuters report- ed, the joke’s on buyers who snapped up 10,000 bottles of Musk’s new perfume, Burnt Hair, in just a few hours — at $100 a pop.

As investigators processed the scene, they found a glove with a severed finger inside, which they used to identify Vernon Forest Wilson, 67. He was booked on multiple charges in Alamance County and held on $250,000 bond.
President Alexander Lu- kashenko of Belarus took the opportunity of a meeting at Konstantin Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Oct. 7 to present Russian Presi- dent Vladimir Putin with a birthday gift, the Associated Press reported. Putin turned 70 years old that day, so nat- urally, Lukashenko presented him with a gift certificate for a Belarusian tractor. (Tractors are a source of pride in that country’s industry.)
“With a name like mine, getting into the fragrance business was inevitable — why did I even fight it for so long!?” Musk wondered on Twitter.
Dr. Kurteeva documented the removal of “forgotten” contact lenses from an elderly patient’s eye — 23 of them, to be exact. Some of them were so old they had turned green.

sounded human and vaguely sexual. Passenger and film producer Emerson Collins recorded the noises and post- ed them to TikTok; his guess was that someone was prank- ing the public address system on the plane. Collins walked up and down the aisle look- ing for a possible culprit, but “I didn’t see anything,” he said.
Lukashenko told reporters that he uses a similar model in his own garden; Putin, how- ever, did not comment on the gift. Instead, he addressed is-
The perfume is described on The Boring Co.’s website as “the essence of repugnant desire.”
