The Week of 2/7 in Weird News Stories — and How We’d Cast Them in Hollywood!

A cunning criminal (and perhaps aspiring actor) named Brett Eric Drachenburg broke into a home in Walton County, Fla., on January 31, stole a towel, and then tried to disguise himself “as ‘The Sun’” when the cops arrived at the scene. (Sadly, that’s about as detailed as the arrest report gets.)

In indie-darling film Here Comes the Sun, we’d cast Oscar winner Jeff Bridges, if only because we’d love to see him in a huge Sun costume, replete with orange face paint and yellow hair.
