  • Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a possible abduction on West 15th St. and Surf Ave. in Brooklyn, a water main break on Broadway in Manhattan, and an escaped prisoner at Bainbridge St. and Rockaway in Brooklyn.
  • Jamaican-New Yorkers were worrying about friends, relatives, and countrymen as Hurricane Dean was bearing down on the island nation. Fortunately, Jamaica escaped the full brunt of the storm.
  • Emily "Pemmy" du Pont Frick feels that its "a tragedy" that her mom is holed up in a sick home for the impoverished, but "This is what happens when you get old and run out of money." And that is apparently how you become and stay extremely rich, like Frick.
  • A number of Brooklyn kennels, centered around Park Slope, are experiencing an outbreak of a dog-cough virus that makes canines sound like they are cats coughing up hairballs. That is just humiliating.
  • A dealer at a used car lot in Champlain, NY heard one of his Pontiac's engines purring and it took a number of mechanics to retrieve the now-adopted black cat named Motor Oil from under the hood. WNBC has fantastic footage regarding the story.
  • Marcos Diaz successfully completed his 60-mile, twice-around-Manhattan swim yesterday after approximately 22 hours. The feat of endurance was accomplished to raise funds for Dominican kids suffering from leukemia.
  • A Staten Island woman was awarded $135,000 by her daughter's insurance company after she was attacked by a deer. A mounted deer-head trophy fell off the wall as the babysitting grandmother was retrieving a safety gate in the garage for her grandkids and received a large gash on the side of her head.

Fantastic footage? I guess the cows were too busy that day.
Lame.

The grandmother was probably trying some kinky sex with the mounted deer head and decided to cover up her aggression by pulling it down to her vaginal area and therefore suffered bruises.

Who and what humans beings can't see that this was a ploy for her granddaughters to gather money for their education at Apex technical school on Sixth Avenue in Chelsea?
