Goose Finds Cop And Leads Him To Her Trapped Baby
Over the course of 26 years of service with the Cincinnati Police Department, Officer James Givens thought he’d seen pretty much everything. All it took was one mother goose to show him how wrong he was in making that assumption. Earlier this week, Officer Givens was sitting in his patrol car when he suddenly found himself being accosted by someone who just had to get his attention. A goose started pecking the side of his car and wouldn’t stop even after he tried offering some food. She stopped briefly and walked away, before returning and resuming her pecking and quacking. When she walked away a second time, Givens decided to see where she was going. The goose led him about 100 yards off to a grassy area by a creek, where one of her babies was tangled up in a balloon string, hopelessly kicking its feet. Givens was a bit reluctant to interfere in case the mama goose attacked, so he called the SPCA. Instead, his colleague Officer Cecilia Charron showed up and promptly rescued the gosling while its mama watched on. Both officers say it’s the most unique experience either of them has had in their time on the force. Be sure to SHARE this heartwarming rescue with your friends and family.

Opera Plus Helium Equals Comedy
Christina Elizabeth is a musical theater actress and opera singer from Tulsa, Oklahoma with a sense of whimsy almost as big as her vocal range. While winding down, Elizabeth and her friends took advantage of a spare helium balloon to create this playful take on the opera genre. Performing the song “Deh Vieni Non Tardar” from Le Nozze Di Figaro Elizabeth soars to new found heights of squeaky glory thanks to helpful pulls off the helium balloon. We may never get a full helium-inflected opera but, thanks to this video, we’ll at least know what we’re missing. Read more: http://www.wimp.com/helium-opera-singer/
Green Day’s biggest fan joins them onstage and totally nails it
Green Day is well known for bringing fans onstage at their concerts and letting them sing along or play guitar. This guy was given such treatment at a recent show in Chicago, where lead singer Billy Joe Armstrong let him borrow his guitar and take the lead on their 1994 hit “When I Come Around.” As if that wasn’t cool enough, wait until you see how he gets to leave the stage.
