A Maryland man who ran out of gas on an interstate decided to beat the boredom by setting up his drum kit to play at the side of the road.

Cops spotted the man, who had pulled his entire kit out of the back of his vehicle to stage an impromptu concert on the shoulder of I-695.  After a round of questioning, they determined he hadn't broken any laws and called a highway administration truck to refill his tank.

A farmer in Washington state is giving new meaning to the term "pot-bellied pigs" – by fattening up his herd of hogs by adding a heaping helping of marijuana to their diets.

William Von Schneidau thinks that his herbal booster makes for extra "high"-quality meat because it adds fiber to the mix of foods the pigs eat. He's able to keep plenty of pot at his farm legally because voters in Washington recently approved one of the country's most liberal set of marijuana laws.

And for those worried about getting a contact high from eating the porkers' flesh, Von Schneidau insists they won't get baked from the baked ham.
