Mount Everest Climber Found Hiding In A Cave To Avoid Fee
Nepal makes a ton of money from Mount Everest climbers, so it should come as no surprise that they take their climbing fee very seriously. For starters, each and every person who tries to reach the iconic summit has to pay $11-thousand. Ryan Sean Davy didn’t want to do that.
Instead, the 43-year-old from South Africa made it to up to the second base camp all by his lonesome, which is highly unusual for foreign climbers who normally have a group or at least a local guide, or sherpa. Once he was 21-thousand feet up, he was spotted by a government official who was curious as to why he was alone. Davy tried to flee, but was found in a nearby cave.
Now, he’ll have to cough up $22-thousand and face being banned from Nepal for five years or face a 10-year ban on climbing in the country. What’s more, Davy’s passport was confiscated and he’ll have to go to the capital, Kathmandu, to retrieve it. He claims he doesn’t have the cash for a flight to the capital, so he’ll take on a four day journey via bus or on foot.

Now You Can Get Sound As A Tattoo
Love the sound of something so much you wish you could have it with you always? Well Skin Motion has you covered. The company is in the midst of creating tattoos that play up to a minute of whatever audio you’d like.
Here’s how it works: a person gets a sound wave inked on their arm. Then, when the Skin Motion app is on and a phone’s camera is pointed at the tattoo, the audio will play.
The company has videos of the technology on its website, but some are calling it a hoax.. You can go to the Bob’s Morning Brew facebook page and watch the video to make up your own mind.

STUPID CRIMINALS:
Woman ends up in wrong house, wrong bed after a night of drinking:
Allison Marie Plusquellic had been drinking and made the right decision to walk home instead of driving. The 36-year-old thought she had made it to a relative’s Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania house but she had actually crawled into a complete stranger’s house through an open window. What’s more, she walked upstairs and fell asleep in one of the bedrooms. The homeowner called police, who responded to find Plusquellic still snoozing. In the end, she was charged with burglary, for allegedly breaking into a house where someone was present, and two counts of breaking into a structure.
“Silver Man” arrested:
If you’re going to break the law, it’s best to blend in. John Casey III did not get that memo. The 46-year-old street performed in Nashville is also known as the “Silver Man” because, well, he paints himself silver. Casey was found by police in the local McDonald’s parking lot passed out behind the wheel of a running vehicle. He’s now facing operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol/drugs and possession of open alcoholic beverage container in motor vehicle.
Man’s run of disturbances started with gummy bear attack:
Douglas W. Woods Sr. is currently facing battery on a law-enforcement officer, disorderly conduct and vandalism charges and it all started when he wasn’t helped at a candy store in Delray Beach, Florida. When no employee was at the front of the store when he walked in, he got angry, eventually taking a handful of gummy bears and chucking them at the store manager’s face. Woods also allegedly cursed at customers and made hand gestures as if he had a gun. He too reportedly made threats against a security officer and the police officers who took him into custody.
