LUBBOCK, Texas -- Five men in Lubbock, Texas, have been busted for trying to cheat on their court-ordered drug tests. During the past six months five men on probation tried to use a realistic-looking prosthetic penis that dispenses drug-free urine, known as the "Whizzinator," to pass their urine tests.

HAYS, Kan. -- A man from Hays, Kansas, recently received a paycheck 59 years after it was issued to him from the Kansas State University Agricultural Research Center. Jerry V. Schmidt says it was likely pay for work he did for the Research Center when he was 17-years-old back in Sept. 1944, but has no recollection of not being paid. Regardless, Schmidt won't get to cash the $11.91 check now because it expired one year after it was issued.
