Meanwhile in Tulsa, Oklahoma... he was trying to be a good guy and rescue a cat stuck in a tree. So he climbed up - and then firefighters had to be called to rescue both of them. The Tulsa Fire Department noted in a Facebook post: "Its owner was so concerned for the feline that he climbed up to attempt a rescue. Unfortunately, they both found themselves in a dangerous predicament high above the ground, unable to get down safely." Capt. Alan Hancock said that after assessing the situation, they requested Capt. Jack Inbody and the Ladder 27 crew to use their aerial device. Fortunately, everyone got down safely. (UPI)

Over the weekend, Erriyon Knighton became the youngest male to make the US Olympic track and field team in nearly 60 years, and he also now has two big record-busters under his belt to boot. The 17-year-old came in third place in the finals for the men's 200-meter race, clinching his spot on Team USA for the Tokyo Games. This achievement came one day after Knighton came in first in the semifinals with a time of 19.88 seconds, a sprint that beat the under-20 2004 record of 19.93 seconds set by a then-17-year-old Usain Bolt. And that's the second Bolt youth record that Knighton has broken. A few weeks ago at a Florida meet, he ran the 200 in 20.11 seconds, displacing Bolt's under-18 record from 2003 of 20.13. With this weekend's accomplishment, Knighton will be the youngest American man to make the Olympic track and field squad since Jim Ryun qualified for the 1,500-meter race in 1964, also at the age of 17.

A special thanks to the Good Samaritans driving on Interstate 5 in Marion County, Oregon who jumped into action when they noticed a fire burning on the side of the road! Morgan Woodford said she was stuck in traffic near The Enchanted Forest when she saw the fire on a nearby hill. She grabbed a water bottle and jumped out of her car to pour the liquid on the flames. When it wasn't enough, she started asking everyone else stuck in traffic for help. Then something amazing happened. One by one people threw water bottles while one lady jumped out with an entire case of water. Then a driver showed up with a fire extinguisher. Together, the drivers were able to keep the flames from spreading any further. Over the weekend, the high temperature reached 113 degrees in Salem, Oregon. (KOIN News)

After a years-long legal battle, the quirky, so-called "Flintstone House" of Hillsborough, California will be allowed to stay. The colorful prehistoric decor indeed looks like something right out of Bedrock and Fred and Wilma's neighborhood, but many neighbors were not happy. There were allegations that the home's owner, Florence Fang failed to get approval to add dinosaurs and a large sign reading "Yabba Dabba Doo," among other things, to the yard surrounding her whimsical orange and purple home, which is very visible from Interstate 280. But Fang won and the settlement reportedly says Hillsborough will pay Fang, a retired media mogul whose family used to own the San Francisco Examiner, $125,000 to cover costs associated with the lawsuit and approve permits for the changes made to the home. Fang, who is in her mid-80s, will drop her claims that the city had stymied her initial attempts to get permits because she was Asian. (Mercury News)

There are mistakes, then there are mistakes. This is the latter. In Baton Rouge Darren James's family was more than a little surprised to find a $50 billion dollar deposit in their bank account. James found out after his wife frantically called him. He said, "It was crazy just to see what it looks like because I've never seen that many zeros in my life." But he did the right thing and called the bank immediately to report the mistake - but not before grabbing a couple of screenshots to remember the once-in-a-lifetime error. Funny thing - it too the bank four days to reverse their mistake! And FYI - recipients of mistaken bank deposits are not allowed to keep the money. If you do, you can go to prison. (UPI)

Artificial intelligence has created a playable version of Grand Theft Auto V using Nvidia's GameGAN technology. The video game has been a huge success since its release but now fans can play a version of GTA V that artificial intelligence (AI) has created all by itself. Essentially the AI is fed footage of GTA V and then uses machine learning to build the game itself, which explains the slightly blurry interpretation of the world. The impressive project is called GAN Theft Auto and it is worth noting that players can only drive around inside the AI's representation of the game. Still, it's an incredible achievement. (Oddly)

Her name is Yuni Shara and over in Indonesia, she's quite a popular singer. She's also courting controversy big time after revealing in an interview that she joins her sons when they watch pornography as a guide and to teach them sex education. Yuni said that she doesn't want to be an old-fashioned parent and instead want to be one that is more open-minded. Furthermore, the 49-year-old single mother said that she is worried about the various kinds of pornographic content that can be easily accessed and watched by her sons. So rather than them watching porn secretly, Yuni said that it is better for her to be there and educate them about sex education. She said that sometimes she would ask them questions like, "How do you like watching porn like this?" and that they would then reply with, "Mom, don't be like this," to which Yuni will then reply with, "This is just something normal bro." Right. (Oddely.com)

Maybe you remember that young Ukrainian couple who made headlines on Valentine's Day by chaining their chaining hands together - they said for three months, as a last ditch effort to save their relationship. Well the good news is they made it the three months. The bad news is they broke up as soon as the chain came off. Alexander Kudlay, a 33-year-old car salesman, and 29-year-old beautician Viktoria Pustovitova shocked the world when they filmed themselves getting chained together with an actual chain. The chain was welded shut under the supervision of a representative of the country's national register of records, who also added a seal to the chain to make sure they don't cheat. Although lasting 123 days with their hands chained together is impressive and probably worthy of the record books, the lack of privacy ultimately took a toll on the couple and they announced their break-up as soon as the chain came off their wrist. Apparently, instead of saving their relationship,

Here's a distinction nobody will be in a hurry to have. An 11-year-old girl has delivered a baby - and now is believed to be the youngest-ever mom to give birth in the United Kingdom. The child, who was 10 years old when she became pregnant, gave birth earlier this month when she was more than 30 weeks along. Dr. Carol Cooper said, "This is the youngest mother I've heard of." The pregnancy stunned the girl's family, who were not aware that she was expecting. A friend of the family said, "She's now being surrounded by expert help. The main thing is that she and the baby are OK." Social services and police are also now investigating. The youngest mom in Britain was previously a girl who gave birth at 12-years-old in 2006.

Tampa Bay police have arrested 44-year-old Jared Vaughn as the prime suspect in a 14-year-old rape case. According to police reports, the rape took place in 2007 when a University of Tampa student was walking back to her dorm after attending the popular Gasparilla Pirate Festival. DNA evidence was collected at the time but detectives did not find any matches so the case remained unsolved for more than a decade. But then Mr. Vaughn decided to submit his own DNA into one of those databases you find online that help you track down your family tree. He also opted in to allow that DNA to be accessible to law enforcement. A lab identified Vaughn as the possible suspect, so police officers traveled to West Virginia, where he now lives, to conduct another DNA, which brought a one-in-700-billion match. Special Agent Mark Brutnell of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement urged people to allow their DNA to be accessed by law enforcement.

( First For Women ) Cheap, powerful, and (when used correctly) non-toxic, hydrogen peroxide could be the hardest working cleaner in your arsenal - if you used it correctly. A lot of people are put off (understandably) by the scary-sounding name, but there's nothing to fear. As a cleaning product, it's perfect -- and here are things you should be cleaning with it. Cutting Boards After using your chopping board to cut raw meat, wash it with hydrogen peroxide (dab some on with paper towel and rinse off with water) to remove bacteria. For bonus cleaning points, cover the board with salt (don't use your exxy truffle salt for this one) and rinse. Leave it in the sun to dry. Toothbrushes Think about it: your toothbrush is covered with germs from the inside of your mouth. And then you use it, night after night, to clean your mouth? It doesn't add up, right? Soak your toothbrush in a little HP every few days to clear it of unwanted bacteria. Your dentist will thank you (or maybe

Back in the 1760s, macaroni was slang for the stylish young men who frequented a fashionable new English hangout, the Macaroni Club, named after a popular food that had just made its way there from Italy. So when Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni, he was identifying himself as a bit of a dandy -- essentially the hipster of his time.
