An Arizona man and his two horses are seriously injured after the man's out-of-control stage coach tore through the streets of Mesa Fire, Ariz., MyFoxPhoenix.com reported.

Dave Johnson of Mesa Fire told the site that a 75-year-old man hitched four horses to a carriage and was taking a ride when a barking dog spooked the horses, MyFoxPhoenix.com reported.
The front two horses began galloping, dragging the two horses in the rear along with the stage coach for a distance of 75 feet, the site reported.
The elderly man driving the coach suffered serious road rash injuries, some going as deep as the bone, Johnson told MyFoxPhoenix.com. He was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

An Illinois man says it didn't take him long to decide not to mess with the uninvited, antlered guest he found in his kitchen.
Belleville resident Mark Page and his wife were sleeping Saturday when the sound of breaking glass and — was that hooves? — woke them up.

Page went downstairs to find a 10-to-12 point buck in the kitchen with its head in the sink.

He says he looked at the animal for "not even a fraction of a second" before turning tail and heading back upstairs. He says he doesn't mess with deer, especially big ones.

WHEN Gye Gardner heard about a Darwin woman who made headlines for getting pulled over by police for a breath test wearing little but her undies, the 43-year-old had a big laugh - but didn't think he would be the next in line for the funniest mishap of the week.
"I hit my ear on the boom of my truck and broke the headset of my phone," Mr Gardner told the Northern Territory News.

Failing to make your bed in the morning may actually help keep you healthy, scientists believe.
Research suggests that while an unmade bed may look scruffy it is also unappealing to house dust mites thought to cause asthma and other allergies.
A Kingston University study discovered the bugs cannot survive in the warm, dry conditions found in an unmade bed.
The average bed could be home to up to 1.5 million house dust mites

Scientists seeking permission to exhume the remains of Leonardo da Vinci plan to reconstruct his face to discover whether his masterpiece, the Mona Lisa, is a disguised self-portrait.
A team from Italy’s National Committee for Cultural Heritage, a leading association of scientists and art historians, has asked to open the tomb in which the Renaissance painter and polymath is believed to lie at Amboise castle, in the Loire valley, where he died in 1519, aged 67.
Giorgio Gruppioni, an anthropologist, said the project could throw new light on Leonardo’s most famous work. “If we manage to find his skull, we could rebuild Leonardo’s face and compare it with the Mona Lisa,” he said.

Women looking for a Mr Right should give up after 30 and settle for a Mr ­Second Best or a Mr Right Now.
Lori Gottlieb, author of Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr Good Enough, which is published in the UK next week, believes women who refuse to commit unless they find a man with whom they feel a deep, romantic love are consigning themselves to a lonely future.
"The theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is – look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality," writes Gottlieb, a 40-year-old single mother who now admits she wishes she had "settled" for any of the "perfectly acceptable but uninspiring" men she rejected during her search for the perfect man.

Britons are likely to be sleeping under duvets which are riddled with dust mites and dead skin, research shows.
Tests carried out on 10 duvets at the University of Worcester found they held up to 20,000 live house dust mites.
And a survey also revealed two-in-five Britons admitted to not washing duvets every six months.
The worst case was a duvet that had not been washed for 11 years and contained 45g of debris including skin scales and house dust mite faeces.

VENUS Williams likes to get cheeky on the court. Her risque dress is all about creating "an illusion", but was the point of this illusion to make it seem like she was wearing no underwear?

No, no the point of the flesh-coloured underwear was to highlight the thigh-high and V-neck splits, Williams explained. Of course.

He was stopped in his car a short time later, but then took off, leading police on a chase along Lookout Road.
He eventually pulled over, ran onto a golf course and stole a golf buggy, police allege.
The man is accused of then trying to steal a 70-year-old man's keys and hitting him with a golf club.
He was finally arrested but again lashed out with the club, striking the senior constable in the arm, police said.

From Egyptian pharaohs to Anglo-Saxon warriors, humans have been buried alongside their most sacred or treasured animals.
Now the practice is making a comeback with an increasing number of pet owners seeking burials with their favourite cats, dogs and horses.
Planners in Lincolnshire last week approved the latest in a series of joint animal and human cemeteries where masters can be interred close to their beloved companions rather than being cremated.
A handful of joint cemeteries even allow pets and owners to be buried in the same plot.
