An elderly Brooklyn, New York woman is happy to be alive -- especially after getting a letter from the city informing her that she was dead.
Selma Cohen received a letter from the Bureau of Fraud Investigation saying that her Medicaid benefits had been discontinued because records showed that she was deceased. Clearly not dead, she called Medicaid and informed them that she is still very much alive and was told that there was a computer error. But fixing the mistake is not going to be easy. She was told that she would have to go to the Social Security office to prove that she is alive and apply for a state-issued ID. The entire process could take weeks to straighten out.
In the meantime, she's unable to visit her doctor and hasn't been receiving Social Security checks.

Cleanup crews in New Zealand are going to need a lot of mops -- or a lot of cookies -- to clean up an enormous milk spill.
Nearly 3000 gallons of milk spilled after a tanker truck crashed and turned over on a highway. The driver was taken to a hospital with several injuries, and the road had to be shut down while crews cleaned up the mess. After a few hours, everything was back to normal and the road reopened.

Tommy Chong's wildest dream recently came true, but for an Arizona family who was shocked when 26 pounds of marijuana fell from the sky and landed in their house.
Maya Donnelly awoke to a loud crashing sound which she assumed was thunder, but then she noticed a large hole in the roof of her carport and a package laying on top of the dog house. The large bundle, which was wrapped in black plastic, contained about $10,000 worth of pot, which likely fell from an aircraft or a drone that was smuggling the drugs from Mexico. Police took custody of the marijuana and left Donnelly with about $500 worth of damage she still has to pay for.
