Weird but true

Who needs a job when all you really need are paychecks — real or fake?

Victoria Calbert, 40, of Springfield, Mo., was arrested for allegedly forging payroll checks and cashing them at Walmarts in Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.

But after Pizza Hut was pilloried for the stunt, it backtracked. It's now asking customers to join an online lottery for the free pie — purchase and mocking of democracy not required.
