HAYS, Kansas – When 95-year-old Nola Ochs graduates next month, she will be the world’s oldest college graduate. The record Ochs will break, according to Guinness World Records, belongs to Mozelle Richardson, who at age 90 in 2004 received a journalism degree from the University of Oklahoma.
Japanese Conned into Buying Sheep as Poodles
Thousands of people have been ‘fleeced’ into buying neatly coiffured lambs they thought were poodles.
Entire flocks of lambs were shipped over from the UK and Australia to Japan by an internet company and marketed as the latest ‘must have’ accessory.

Bible knowledge frees defendant
Eric Hine is a free man today because of his Biblical knowledge.
Hine, 43, of Corryville, was in court today charged with receiving stolen property.
When he appeared this morning before Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge John Burlew, Hine’s attorney was hoping for a low bond for Hine and told the judge he was a churchgoer who works fulltime at a company that makes wine racks.
Because judges hear all kinds of stories from lawyers and defendants hoping for low bonds, Burlew wanted to test Hine on his claim of attending an Avondale church.
So, Burlew told Hine to recite the 23rd Psalm.
“The Lord is my Shepard; I shall not want,†Hine told the judge.
Impressed but still skeptical, Burlew told Hine if he could recite the entire passage, he would let him out of jail.
Hine then reeled off all six verses and 118 words – and even drew some applause from those sitting in the courtroom.
Burlew was true to his word and released Hine on a $10,000 unsecured appearance bond. That meant Hine had to sign a bond to promise to pay $10,000 if he didn’t make his next court appearance in the case.
