WEIRD NEWS: Field of Dreams
Here's a dirt nap story with some life to it ... A man who fell asleep in a Montana cornfield was run over by a tractor ... and lived.
According to Billings police, the 57-year-old man was passing through town on a Greyhound bus when he decided to get some shut eye in a field.
A farmer harvesting the field felt his combine hit something. When he turned off the machine, he heard screaming.
Apparently the machine caught the man’s clothing and sucked him into the cutter. Emergency responders were able to free him from the blades, and other than some cuts that required stitching, he escaped the whole ordeal. (Billings Gazette)
CEE LO GREEN: Involved in Fight With Two Women
The Voice judge Cee Lo Green was involved in a fight with two women in July 2011 -- although it looks like he was basically the victim.
According to TMZ, Cee Lo invited the women to his Miami hotel room after a night out, but then one began to argue with him and he asked both of them to leave. The argumentative woman made a comment about his weight, which prompted him to grab her by the shoulders to escort her out.
That's when it got nasty. Apparently both women began punching and slapping Cee Lo and kept at it until the cops arrived. But because officers couldn't determine who'd started the fight, nobody was arrested.

CIA DIRECTOR: Resigns Due to Extramarital Affrair
CIA Director David Petraeus resigned today (Friday) after admitting to an extramarital affair.
Petraeus, a four-star general who was one of the top U.S. commanders in Afghanistan, took over the position of CIA director in 2011. President Obama said in a statement that Petraeus's contribution to the United States military has made the country "safer and stronger."
The former general is featured in this week's Newsweek special "Hero" edition, in which he gives tips on leadership -- including growing from one's mistakes. Petraeus is expected to be replaced by deputy CIA director Mike Morrell.
WEIRD NEWS: Timing Is Everything
An Ohio man set a record of sorts when he managed to get arrested twice – at the exact same time.
Thanks to an assist from the folks responsible for putting Daylight Savings Time into effect, Niles Gammons' arrest record now includes two entries for different crimes, both dated November 4th at 1:08 a.m.
Gammons was initially stopped for driving the wrong way down a one-way street and cited for driving under the influence, after officers noted a strong smell of alcohol and found a small amount of marijuana on him. He was issued a summons and sent on his way, but shortly after clocks were turned back, he was clocked again – this time for backing his car into a police cruiser.
He's due to appear in court – just once – on Thursday. (WHIO)

BARACK OBAMA: Sheds More Tears
The day after the election, President Barack Obama visited the Chicago headquarters of his re-election campaign. The President praised the staff’s efforts and became choked with emotion while trying express his gratitude.
The unscripted moment earned loud applause from the staff, and shouts of encouragement.
The President attempted to praise the young staffers, who he claimed were more focused than he was at their age. They’d already accomplished much more than he had when he first arrived in Chicago at age 25. Obama told the staff that he was confident that they’d become high achievers, whether working in the private sector, non-profit, or as a public servant. His lip started to quiver while saying (quote) “You're just going to do great things! And that's why, even before last night's results, I felt that the work that I had done in running for office had come full circle.. Because what you guys have done means the work that I'm doing is important, and I'm really proud of all of you."
