• Is this a workers’ comp injury? Dude badly cut himself while allegedly breaking into “Big Bang Custom Paint and Body” in Killeen. He was arrested after he got out of the hospital!
• This reads more like an action-movie plot than a headline: “Vehicle crashes into home, hits baby. Baby expected to be OK.”
• Dallas-area church really wanted 18 cohabiting couples to get hitched…so they footed the bill for a big wedding! The wedding was part of a lecture series called, "The Real Flava of Love."

Evan Smith, president and editor in chief of Texas Monthly, is leaving the magazine to join the Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public media organization aimed at politics, government, and other matters of statewide interest. Smith will become CEO of the new venture, which also claims Austin Ventures general partner John Thornton as the chairman and former Austin Technology Council president Alisha Ring as general manager. Smith spent nearly 18 years at Texas Monthly, serving as editor for eight years before becoming president and editor in chief last year. In his farewell letter to the staff, Smith said that Texas Monthly "without question, gave me my life, gave me the most wonderful and unbelievable and exciting career that anyone could ask for."
