The Congressman says his Twitter account was hacked. An indecent photo was sent from his account to a journalism student in Seattle. A spokesman for the Congressman called the hacking a distraction. After the incident Weiner tweeted: "Tivo shot. FB hacked. Is my blender gonna attack me next? #TheToasterIsVeryLoyal".
#1 - Bigfoot Sighting
A Spokane, Washington woman claims to have caught the creature on camera. She was hiking in the woods at the time. In the video, the shot's a bit grainy. It was captured on an iPhone. But you can see the "beast" in the top right corner running through the woods. The woman says she didn't even realize she had Bigfoot on camera until she got home and watched the footage.
