012: Home Dentistry

From a man pulling out his own teeth with pliers to a Japanese woman scammed by a “spacebound astronaut,” this episode of News with Bill might make you lose faith in humanity—and your lunch.

A Florida woman is charged with child abuse after a 4-year-old was found drugged with Nyquil and Xanax, while in India, a family keeps their dead relative’s body for over a year thinking he’s in a coma. I dive into the ancient Chinese martial art of “iron crotch” kung fu—where men swing logs at their own groins—and the New Yorker caught smuggling pythons in his pants. A Texas woman wearing a D.A.R.E. shirt gets busted for drugs, and two teens murder their teacher over bad grades. Then things really get wild: a Japanese woman wires $30,000 to “help an astronaut return from space,” a British man practices home dentistry for a decade, and an eight-year-old boy in India bites a cobra to death. Add in a meth-loving Floridian claiming FBI immunity, a Walmart DUI joyride, and a family fistfight over Chinese takeout, and you’ve got the strangest headlines of the week.
