Man charged with drunk driving on bar stool

Authorities in Ohio say a man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool.  Police in Newark, 30 miles east of Columbus, say when they responded to a report of a crash with injuries on March 4, they found a man who had wrecked a bar stool powered by a deconstructed lawn mower.  Twenty-eight-year Kile Wygle was hospitalized for minor injuries.  Police say he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he told an officer at the hospital that he had consumed 15 beers.  Wygle told police his motorized bar stool can go up to 38 mph.

Wife tells husband: 'I did not shoot you, sweetheart'

When a Winter Springs woman reported early Sunday that an intruder had shot her husband, Seminole County Sheriff's investigators didn't buy it and neither did the victim.  While 42-year-old Kimberly Boone was talking to 911 dispatchers, her husband, Robert Boone, 41, can be heard talking in the background. According to an arrest affidavit, the man told a deputy sheriff his wife accidentally shot him.  "No, I did not shoot you sweetheart. I was in with the boys," she told her husband.  Earlier in the call, the woman said her husband was shot while checking out a noise in their garage.  Officials said she later admitted to shooting her husband and was arrested to face a charge of attempted murder. She is being held without bail in the Seminole County Jail in Sanford.

Shot

Ah sweet love.

Insomnia may alter "hunger hormone"

Studies have linked poor sleep to obesity and other health problems, and now new research suggests a reason why.  The study, of 38 men with and without chronic insomnia, found that those with the sleep disorder had 30 percent lower nighttime levels of the hormone ghrelin, which is involved in appetite control.  A number of studies in recent years have highlighted the role of sleep in overall health. Research has linked poor sleep -- owing to sleep disorders or shift work, for example -- to higher risks of obesity, diabetes and heart disease.  These latest findings, reported in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology, help shed light on why sleep deprivation might encourage weight gain and its related health consequences.

Hunger

Here's where I get to repeat that exercise cures insomnia.
