When Jude Gonzalez split open his scalp while surfing in a remote Indonesian island, boat skipper Tom Plummer who happened to be nearby had to perform a 4 hour surgery – his first – to stitch Jude’s head. But first, Tom drank almost a case of beer for some liquid courage!

"Half-way through it they had to get another carton (of beer) from one of the boats," Mr Gonzalez said.

Joshua Gardener, a 22 years old convincted sex offender, tried to pass himself off as Caspian James Crichton IV the 5th Duke of Cleveland in order to attend high school.

Student journalists at the school’s newspaper got the scoop:

But their research led them to a Web site called the "Earl of Scooby," where the "duke" said his heritage was British and his goal for the year was "to not make the front page of any paper."

Then the young journalists found the visitor’s picture on another Web site: Florida’s registry of sex offenders.
