An incarcerated man was beaten by a cell mate, which forced the doctors to check him out, where they found aneurysms in his brain.  Before they could do the surgery, he was released from prison, so they told him the surgery couldn’t be carried out unless he got insurance.  In order to save his life, he openly stole a bottle of moisturizer so that he could be arrested and given the surgery.  A man from Germany has conducted a “money strike” where he doesn’t use money at all, so he started a barter system for everything he needs in life.  Cenk isn’t buying this guy’s method.  Possibility of giving dogs heroin for pain. Girls Gone Wild is filing for bankruptcy because it owes tons of money to a Vegas debt at Wynn.  A Florida man has been swallowed up by a sinkhole while lying in his bed.  A company was offering mothers-to-be $5000 if they allow the public to name her kid.  The woman that won the opportunity is someone that Ana knows.  Students of Colorado College did a Harlem Shake video on a commercial flight.  Jennifer Lawrence was talking with Access Hollywood about her appearance in a new Dior ad and talked about how she was photoshopped and loves it because no one looks that great.
