Last week, a crew in Johnstown, Pennsylvania was painting fresh yellow lines on a road. And they clearly weren’t watching what they were doing. Because somehow they painted the lines right over a DEAD RACCOON.

A spokesman says they did eventually see the roadkill but, quote, “[with] the geometry of the road and the size of equipment, they couldn’t turn around to go back and fix the mistake.”

The Huffington Post has put together a list of Olympians and their supposed celebrity look-alikes. Some of them are decent, some aren’t.

Here are a few, you can check out the whole list at Huffingtonpost.com

The website GuySpeed.com posted a montage on YouTube called “Girls in Pools”. It’s female movie characters . . . mostly in bikinis . . . emerging from water. Because it’s Friday, you have earned.

And yes, it starts and ends with the most famous one . . . Phoebe Cates in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”.

Ever wondered who’s got the BIGGEST HOUSE in the country? It’s definitely not the White House. Or Neverland Ranch.

Apparently, the biggest house in the U.S. is . . . in Windermere, Florida, just outside of Orlando. It’s owned by a 77-year-old billionaire named David Siegel, who founded Westgate Resorts, one of the world’s largest timeshare companies.

Here are some of the specs on the house . . .

It’s 90,000 square feet. The White House is 55,000 square feet.

It has either 14 or 15 bedrooms . . . David’s wife, 46-year-old Jackie Siegel, couldn’t remember.

30 bathrooms.

10 kitchens.

Two tennis courts.

A full baseball field.

A grand ballroom that can hold up to 500 people.

Indoor roller skating rink.

Nightclub.

Art gallery.

Wine gallery.

10,000 square-foot spa.

Two movie theaters.

Indoor and outdoor pool.

Two elevators.

And a 20-car garage.

The Siegels say if they do decide to sell the home, they’ll list it at $100 MILLION.

Last week, police in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada arrested a man named Troy Campbell for public intoxication. He was in the middle of the street dancing with a beer in one hand and a cheeseburger in the other.

When he got to jail, for some reason, Troy decided he was going to do a NAKED DANCE for the guards.

He stripped down, TUCKED HIS JUNK between his legs, and started doing a dance where he bent over and jumped around.

As he danced, the guards spotted a plastic bag sticking out of his rectum. So thanks to his spontaneous naked dance . . . they found he was smuggling a bag containing prescription painkillers. I would still takem off his hands btw.

On Monday, he pleaded guilty to possession. In the U.S., that would probably mean like sixteen life sentences . . . in Canada, it was just an $805 fine.

Sorry, no pic.

An extreme-dad video is making the rounds online right now. It’s some guy who juiced up his son’s Power Wheel so it’s more like a go-cart. And it goes just fast enough to make it seem a little unsafe.

The U.S. Women’s Soccer team plays Japan for the gold medal today. But they’ll also be playing for a whole lot of CASH.

Sunil Gulati is the president of the U.S. Soccer Federation. And he announced yesterday that if Team U.S.A. wins, they’ll split a bonus of $1.5 million.

There are 18 players on the roster . . . but Sunil said he expects them to share the money with their trainers, and reserve players who didn’t make the Olympic team.

Assuming they split it equally and give the trainers and reserves a full share, each player will get $50,000. That’s on top of the $25,000 bonus the U.S. Olympic Committee gives any athlete that wins gold.

Yes, they’d have to pay taxes on their bonus. And they get a smaller bonus if they win the silver . . . but Sunil didn’t say how much it was.

$75,000 sounds like a lot . . . and it is. But it’s a BARGAIN compared to how much other countries pay their gold medal winners.

Italy pays the most . . . each of their gold medalists gets $182,400. Russia comes in second . . . each gold medalist gets $135,000.

France pays $65,200 . . . Japan pays $35,900 . . . China pays $31,400 . . . Canada and Germany pay around $20,000.

Host country Great Britain has 22 gold medalists . . . but they’re not paying their athletes ANY bonus.
