UberVappu on täällä!

Vappu on yksi kevään vilkkaimmista ajankohdista, jolloin monet tarvitsevat vaivattoman kyydin juhlan viettoon. Vappu ei olisi mitään ilman vappupäivää, vappupäivä ei olisi mitään ilman Ullanlinnan piknikkiä ja piknik ei olisi mitään ilman simaa ja tippaleipiä - siksi Uber Helsinki ja Wanhan Porvoon Fabriikki tarjoavatkin vappupäivänä onnekkaille Uber-kyydin tilaajalle piknik-paketin.

Floyd Briggs, Oklahoma Man, Stands In The Road To Stop A Speeding Motorcyclist

Definitely do NOT try this at home.

When Floyd Briggs spotted a motorcycle speeding through his Chickasha, Oklahoma, neighborhood during a police pursuit, he took matters into his own hands.

“I said ‘I gotta stop this guy before he hurts a little kid,'” Briggs told the local NBC station KFOR.

Briggs jumped out into the road to physically stop the bike, which had been clocked at up to 63 mph in a 30 mph zone.

Fortunately for Briggs, the speeding biker swerved to avoid him, wiped out and hit a parked car. The suspect, identified as Michael Coppedge, then allegedly fled on foot, according to a police report cited by the Chickasha Express Star.

Briggs took off after him.

“I was running out of steam very quick. I’m not very aerodynamic,” Briggs told KFOR.

Eventually, Briggs caught up to Coppedge and let him have it... with salty language.

Briggs later apologized for his choice of words.

“I did use some language that just isn’t how I talk," he told KFOR. "Some of the words I used, I was pretty worked up. I’m sorry for that."

Coppedge was arrested at gunpoint, according to the Express Star, and treated for injuries at a local hospital. Afterwards, he was transported to the local jail and charged with eluding police, reckless driving, driving without a license, leaving the scene of an accident involving damage and driving without insurance, the website reported. He was released on bond on Monday, according to jail records from the Grady County Sheriff's Department.

This 'Lizzie McGuire' Cast Reunion Is What Dreams Are Made Of

If you believe they've got a picture perfect plan, you're absolutely right.

Lizzie McGuire, Miranda Sanchez and Matt McGuire (aka Hilary Duff, Lalaine and Jake Thomas) had a mini "Lizzie McGuire" cast reunion on Monday night, and all the magic was captured on Instagram:

So this happened last night... #LizzieMcGuire

Thomas had hinted something crazy was going down on his Twitter:




But this is definitely what dreams are made of.

Duff has changed her look up a lot lately, but does this get together mean we could see her go back to butterfly clips in a "Lizzie" reunion show? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: Gordo must have some serious FOMO.

Baltimore Mother Who Publicly Scolded Son For Rioting: 'I Don't Want Him To Be A Freddie Gray'

Toya Graham, the mother who was caught on video smacking her son after witnessing him throwing objects at officers, said she disciplined him in public because she wanted her son to learn a valuable lesson.

“That's my only son and at the end of the day I don't want him to be a Freddie Gray," Graham told CBS News.

Gray died on April 19 days after he sustained a severe spinal cord injury following an arrest. His funeral was held Monday, which was later followed by a clash between police and protesters.

Graham noticed her son was among the suspected rioters and immediately proceeded to physically reprimand him while a bystander captured her reaction on camera.

“I'm a no-tolerant mother. Everybody that knows me, know I don't play that," Graham said.

Graham said she earned praise from some of her son’s Facebook friends who applauded her actions. After arriving home from the protests, she said she and her son watched TV reports on the demonstrations. She hoped the events that unfolded that day are all experiences he can learn from.

"By him seeing everything what's going on I just hope, I'm not sure, but I hope that he understands the seriousness of what was going on last night."
