'Lightning' McQueen from Cars
One father wanted to make his son's dreams come true, as young Oliver wanted his dad to paint his car like Lightning McQueen from the Disney Pixar movie Cars. Todd Kreisman fulfilled his son's wish, and 'Lightning' came about. Oliver was so happy about the car, and his father, Todd, loved seeing his son happy. But like the saying 'all good things come to an end', the father and son duo were rear-ended one day and the story of 'Lighning' ended. Todd and Oliver are fine, but laid 'Lightning' to rest.
14th-century Buddha returns home
A 14th-century Korean Buddhist statue stolen from a Japanese temple more than 12 years ago returned home on Monday following a years-long legal battle between Japan and South Korea over its ownership. This statue dates back to the 1300s and was presumably stolen 200 years after that in 1527, so I can understand how this is a big deal. It was one of two stolen from the Kannon-ji temple in Japan.
