From the ashes
Last week, “superhero” Phoenix Jones was arrested by Seattle police after using pepper spray to break up a fight.
A video of the encounter has since been uploaded by Jones and his band of “heroes”. He was jailed and later released on bond. At his court appearance, Jones unveiled his “true identity” and stated that he intended to continue his crime-fighting ways.
Thus far, prosecutors have declined to charge him, leaving room for speculation this Phoenix may rise again.
Feeling lucky?
Men’s Health magazine recently released a list compiling the country’s luckiest cities. San Diego trumps the list with an A+ rating. Other lucky spots include Baltimore, San Francisco and Las Vegas.
Editors used a variety of criteria for determining luck, including most lottery and sweepstakes winners, most hole-in-ones and least deaths from falling objects.
Luck is high in the Pacific Northwest as well, with Portland and Seattle landing in the top 30. Unfortunately for residents of Charleston, W.Va., Lady Luck has long since left as there are zero lottery winners and the highest number of deaths via falling objects there.
