Luckily, He Wasn't Equipped with a Gun

Paul McCartney is past 64 -- he's celebrating his 66th by driving Route 66.

Everyone knows what happened to Desmond and Molly Jones -- they switched places, shared makeup, and life went on.

Lucy S. Doe was finally rehabilitated thanks to drug court. The Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes now mentors other users and tends a tangerine grove.

Rocky Raccoon, meanwhile, has filed for bankruptcy in Atlanta.

A raccoon (we know his name is Rocky, but everyone knows him as Russell now) was caught in the Richard B. Russell Federal Building. He stole cookies, left apple cores around a bankruptcy judge's office, made noises, and consumed lunches not his own.

Eventually, Rocky was caught in the ceiling over Judge Mary Grace Diehl's office. The plan is to release him elsewhere, perhaps in the Black Mountain Hills of Dakota, where he can check into a room at the local saloon.

We swear on Gideon's Bible that this is a true story: Paw Prints in Judge's Office Spell End for Masked Bandit, Mark Davis, Atlanta Journal-Constitution (August 25, 2008).
