Canadian man gets parking ticket for 'car' made of snow
MONTREAL - A Canadian man made a fake car out of snow and got a real parking ticket. Montreal native Simon Laprise crafted a Back to the Future-style Delorean on the side of his street as part of a prank and he got the results he expected. "It was a beautiful day," Laprise told Vice. "So I decided to do something out of the mountain of snow, to do a little joke to the snow guys, and have fun sculpting a car. It's not my first one, just the first I do in the street on snow removal day." Laprise sculpted the Delorean to look like a life-size version of Marty McFly's ride had been parked throughout a snow storm for days. He even added indentions for the wheels and windows - and then threw a spare windshield wiper he found lying around for a special touch. The snow...

'The Shape of Water' wins top Producers Guild Award
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Women and inclusivity continued to dominate the awards season conversation Sunday at the Producers Guild Awards, where Guillermo del Toro's fantastical romance "The Shape of Water" won the top award and honorees like Jordan Peele and Ava DuVernay gave rousing speeches to the room of entertainment industry leaders.The untelevised dinner and ceremony, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., is closely watched for its capacity to predict the eventual Oscar best picture winner, but this year the "awards race" seemed to be the secondary show to the more urgent questions facing the industry, including the crisis of representation and sexual misconduct.Del Toro was not present to accept the PGA's Darryl F. Zanuck Award for...

Hundreds of curious people descended on Portland's Monument Square on Sunday to observe a gathering of dinosaur lovers dressed as the science museum staple. There were dozens of T. rexes, and they danced, growled and milled around. One who struggled to navigate his costume walked around with his head protruding awkwardly from the dinosaur's gaping mouth.

Statute with limitations: Protesters yank down angel sculpture
ATHENS - Black-clad protesters in southern Athens have torn down a red sculpture shaped like an angel and broke its wings in a fresh act of violence against an artwork critics liken to Satan. Protests against the 8-meter high sculpture called Phylax, which in Greek means "guardian", have ranged from throwing white paint and spitting at it to attempting to exorcise it with a Greek priest sprinkling holy water. It was displayed in early December in a busy area in the coastal suburb of Palaio Faliro. Protesters have included some residents, religious conservatives and supporters of far right political groups.
