Enough of Mr Obama ... here's some news to make you smile (or gasp)
A Tennessee man's body is being exhumed to remove dentures that belong to another man after a mix-up at a Chattanooga hospital.
Court records obtained by the newspaper showed Manis died on June 12. The dentures were with personal items placed inside his coffin. Counts said Manis' family asked that the dentures be removed.
The hospital has apologized and will be paying for new dentures, as well as reburial costs and attorney's fees. The hospital declined to identify the patient who lost his dentures

Police think a 30-year-old Colorado man suspected of hiding in the tank of a portable toilet also made peep holes in the restrooms of several Boulder businesses to spy on women.
Vail police arrested Luke Chrisco on Thursday while investigating an unrelated complaint, saying he resembled the suspect accused of hiding in a toilet at a yoga festival last week.

Forget mice. A Swiss cat named Speedy has an eye for finer things.
Speedy has stolen so much loot that its owner had to post leaflets throughout a northern Swiss town saying "Help, our cat steals!" and inviting people to recover their missing things
Margrit Geiger of Wiesendangen said her kleptomaniac cat switched three years ago from bringing home mice to stealing badminton shuttle****s, all to impress her teenage son.
Then the cat began specializing in gloves, scarves and T-shirts. The latest obsession: underwear and black socks.
Geiger told the Swiss daily Blick that the cat has nabbed more than 100 items, and the paper said Thursday some neighbors have already claimed items back.
"It carries everything through a hole in the shed, through the attic, straight to my son Daniel's room," Geiger told Blick. "Daniel is its absolute favorite person." Once it drops off what it stole, Speedy doesn't stop meowing until its owners examine the loot.
