3. The TSA finds a 20-pound lobster in someone’s luggage at Logan Airport
If you were on vacation on the east coast and you caught a 20-pound lobster, how would you get it home? For one person, the solution was simple, as they checked their big catch into their luggage at Logan International Airport in Boston. The lobster, which was in a cooler in the checked luggage, was allowed on the plane.

5. John McEnroe says Serena Williams would be ranked 700th on the men’s circuit
There’s a comment that will spark some controversy. John McEnroe, a former tennis player and current broadcaster, said that Serena Williams would be ranked 700th if she played on the men’s tour. People are seeing the comment as a slight on the best female tennis player of all-time, but Serena has said before that she would get smoked 6-0, 6-0 by a player like Andy Murray.
