What the Hell Theater - 8/19

Idaho state environment officials say crews have finished removing massive rolls of toilet paper that fell off a truck and were lodged for weeks in the upper Lochsa River. Earlier attempts to pull out the paper was called off when it began disintegrating, creating an even bigger mess. Officials said teams yanked out the remnants last weekend when lower river flows made the work more manageable. Crews wrapped the rolls with a reinforced mesh before they were pulled out by a tow truck. The rolls landed in the water after the truck hauling the load along U.S. Highway 12 slid into the river.

Police in Menasha, Wisconsin, are hoping someone will come forward with information about a prosthetic leg discovered in a neighborhood. The leg was turned over to an officer by a woman who discovered it between 4:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. on August 4th. "The leg is a prosthetic leg with a black shoe on the bottom of the leg," police said. Officer Aaron Zemlock added the leg has been in the police evidence room for nearly two weeks and no one has come forward to claim it yet.
