One moment can define your life, and in the world of weird news, that prospect is harrowing.
When porn actress Val Midwest was a student at Pius X -- a Catholic high school in Lincoln, Neb. -- she was known as Valerie Dodds. The 19-year-old did a little reminiscing last week, by returning to pose nearly nude for some spicy, pasties-and-G-string promotional photos.
"All of the Pius kids were saying mean things and that's when I decided to go there and show them that I'm here to stay,” Dodds told ABC affiliate KETV.
Pius X school officials were outraged, but will they be able to stop production of a porn film that undoubtably will be called "Pius X"?
In other destiny-defining moments, Heath Campbell -- the so-called "Nazi-Naming Dad" -- entered a New Jersey courthouse with a Hitler mustache and matching uniform to ask for visitation rights to his youngest child, who is in foster care.
Campbell made big news five years ago when a supermarket refused to write "Happy Birthday, Adolf Hitler" on his oldest kid's birthday cake.
In Arizona, a 19-year-old girl jumped off a roof, missed the pool, and broke both her feet. Her mom's fundraising efforts, however, may be heading toward an even bigger crash landing.
And in Oklahoma, a man without a nose is suing his plastic surgeon.
