The Inflatable Pumpkin that swallowed a cop

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Happy Halloween. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Did you see this one? A police officer in Ohio was attempting to wrangle a runaway inflatable pumpkin in the middle of a road and then was attacked by said pumpkin and engulfed. Yeah. A video was shared by the Bay Village Police Department. The video shows the officer attempt to move the pumpkin and the pumpkin kind of lands on top of the guy. The department said that the officer was attacked by the Halloween display. Luckily, no officers or pumpkins were harmed during the event. Once backup officers arrived, the pumpkin was returned to the homeowner. I'm sure the officer had his pumpkin seeds busted by his coworkers. Speaking of pumpkins, a Minnesota farmer's twenty four hundred and seventy one pound pumpkin when the Safeway World Championship Pumpkin way off. Travis traveled with his giant pumpkin to the competition and in Half Moon Bay, California, the pumpkin was placed on a massive scale and dubbed heaviest in the contest. It's the fourth time he's won this thing.

1:08 Last year he had a twenty seven hundred and forty nine pound pumpkin that one named Michael Jordan, eight pounds heavier than this year's champ. Michael Jordan took the top spot as well as the Guinness World Record for heaviest pumpkin. At that point, are you disappointed that this one's eight pounds later? Meanwhile, there's a British farm that holds the Guinness World Record for largest pumpkin mosaic. They opened a new mosaic, a tribute to the film Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice, That's twice pay attention. At the end, he and the farmer said farm fans voted on the theme for this year's Pumpkin Mosaic and seventy percent went to the character played by Michael Keaton in that film. He says there were over ten thousand pumpkins and squashes in the mosaic. It took about fifty hours of planning on paper. Then we built it one day with fifteen people, starting at night, thirty in the morning and finishing at four thirty. All of the pumpkins in the mosaic are naturally colored, a lot of them are edible, and they're the same pumpkins we've got around the fields that visitors can pick up putting their wheelbarrow buy to take home. It's not clear yet if this year's mosaic will take the Guinness World Record from Sunnyfield Farm's mosaic last year, which depicted Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. That moseah covered an area of two thousand plus square feet. Hey, would you like a free meal? You can get one from Chips and Go. Here's the catch, you gotta get a tattoo of their logo. The owner of Chips and Go said the offer started out as a joke to see how far people would go for free food. But two people have already gone and gotten a tattoo. He said, now a maximum of three more people can take up his offer of free food every day if they get the tattoo.

2:38 Sebashi and the owner said, I have customers coming back every day and praising the food, which puts me in a good mood. And I said, if people are enjoying it this much, let's see how far people go and that's where the idea for the tattoo came along a lot of people joking about it. Then I started getting messages about what tattoo size to get and where to get it. He said, there are no restrictions to the size and place of the tattoo as long as you get it, and they'll always be entitled to a free daily meal can be any from the menu, and even if he increases his prices, loyal fans won't be affected. Kevin got a tattoo on his forearm because he loves the chicken feed a meal with chips from China Daily and the city of nan Chang. There's an alleyway near a cancer hospital. Two senior citizens are running a community cancer kitchen to support those caring for their loved ones.

3:20 Mister Wan told the South China Morning Post, no matter what life throws at you, you must eat good food for around thirty two cents US dollars. Anyone can use the kitchen spaces that they've set up in the alleyway to cook meals. Sometimes it's for the patients so they eat something rather than hospital food. Sometimes it's for the people who care for the patients. Back in ninety three. The couple ran a restaurant in a building next to the hospital, but after it was demolished, they opened a breakfast stall in front of the hospital. Mister Wan said, there was a couple who came to us with their child. They said he didn't want treatment, he just wanted a meal cooked by his mom, So we let them use our kitchen. As time went on, they added more utensils, appliants of stoves and ovens. With that came along the use of more water, electricity costs went up, and then the community started donating. Now nearly ten thousand people come to cook in the cancer kitchen. Mister Want said, we and the patients are inseparable. Now for us, without the patients, we would feel lonely. Many of them coming here are cancer patients and their families who are going through tough times.
