- The Bronx weed farmer who accidentally smoked out his whole neighborhood turned himself in.
- And in more unusual drug news, a "small amount of cocaine" was found in the space shuttle hangar at NASA's Florida spaceport. Talk about getting high!
- A drunk driver doing 70mph down the shoulder of the Grand Central Parkway smashed into three other cars, killing one of the drivers in a massive fireball.
- The world's fastest texters are both South Korean: they typed 120 words in 2 minutes 26 seconds. The fastest Americans came in at 2:48.
- Starting today, many local McDonald's have free Wi-Fi, so you can file your Yelp review right from there!
- Famous food blog Midtown Lunch has launched its downtown edition.
- A fleeing drug suspect knocked down an NYPD detective with his car yesterday in Midtown. By the time the Post photographers caught up with him, something had happened to his face.
