Some writers whine about bad reviews, but one British author decided to take another approach -- by smashing a bottle of wine over the head of a stranger who dissed one of his books.
Richard Brittain posted his tale The World Rose on Wattpad, an app where amateur writers submit their stuff and others review it. Typically, he began engaging reviewers, thanking fans and arguing with haters. But he just couldn't abide a one-star review penned by teenager Paige Rolland -- so he tracked her down through Facebook, traveled 500 miles to Scotland, went to the supermarket where the young woman works and cold-cocked her with a wine bottle, knocking her unconscious.
Rolland wasn't badly hurt, and Brittain was sentenced to anger management. He agrees that what he did was “deluded and creepy,” and says that he’s “now getting treatment.”

A Louisiana man is sporting a bright shine and a clean undercarriage after he got stuck in a large spinning brush inside a car wash.
Josh Hood, the manager of the Pitstop Carwash, was hosing down the inside of the car wash when his hose got tangled up in one of the large brushes and spun him around for a good 20 seconds before a co-worker turned it off. The accident was captured on surveillance camera and, at first, looks a bit scary. But Hood was not seriously injured, so now we can all watch the video and laugh about it because it's pretty hilarious.

A Florida woman cracked under intense police questioning about a shoplifting incident -- then admitted her own crack was stuffed with illegal prescription drugs.
Ginger Cooper tried to sneak out of a Wal-Mart by pretending to scan a number of items at a self-checkout, but got spotted by security guards who detained her until cops could arrive. Once they did, the 28-year-old got panicky and confessed that she'd been carrying a baggie filled with Xanax pills in her buttocks "for a friend."
After being escorted to the police station, Cooper turned pooper and expelled the baggie -- earning herself charges of possession of a controlled substance as well as shoplifting.
