Susan and Wayne Brandenburg during their Wal-Mart wedding ceremony (Photo courtesy of Susan Brandenburg)They came for the low prices and stayed for the lifetime commitment.

A couple that first met in a North Carolina Wal-Mart returned to the same store to hold their wedding ceremony in the layaway section.

Wayne Brandenburg told CNN said he would casually browse through the store a few times a week before meeting his future wife, Susan, who was working as a cashier in the store.

“I’d ask her how she was that day, and tell her she looked very nice,” he said.

Eventually, Wayne built up the courage to ask Susan on a date. His wife had previously died and Susan was working at the store after her divorce. Susan accepted the invitation to a Chinese buffet dinner and each of them brought their two grandchildren along for the night so Susan would feel comfortable.

After that first date, Wayne says he had fallen for Susan and began bringing her favorite lunch to Wal-Mart each day.

“He was very much a gentleman, and I looked forward to seeing him,” she said.

The Domino's drone, aka DomiCopter, takes flight. (T+Biscuits)

TacoCopter turned out to be a fake. So did the Burrito Bomber.

But now, the skies, at least in the U.K., have finally opened up to fast food: Domino's Pizza has carried out a delivery order by drone helicopter.

Video of the DomiCopter—developed by Aerosight—was posted by T + Biscuits, the creative agency brought in by the pizza chain's U.K. headquarters. The copter reportedly can deliver up to two large pizzas over a four-mile radius in 10 minutes or less.

“If anything, it went quicker than a pizza boy," T + Biscuits founder Tom Hatton told Fox News. "We were amazed at how easy it was going to be.”

Of course, there are a few caveats about the drone delivery.

First, it was not technically a drone mission. While Domino's said GPS coordinates could potentially be used in future delivery flights, this inaugural mission was controlled by an experienced drone copter pilot who had the benefit of several cameras to help guide the flight.

Second, drone flights come with several restrictions in

The waters of Blue Lake are reportedly unaffected by modern climate changes. (University of Adelaide)Imagine a lake that's never been affected by climate change or any other man-made influences. Australian scientists say they have found just that—a remote lake whose crystal-clear waters seem to be in the same chemical state as they were about 7,500 years ago.

"It's like God's bathtub," Dr. Cameron Barr told the Australian Associated Press of the body of water now named Blue Lake. "It is beautiful. It is absolutely beautiful."

Barr and his team of researchers from the University of Adelaide say the lake—one of the largest on North Stradbroke Island off the south Queensland coast, according to the AAP—is so pure that you can see more than 30 feet below the surface to its bottom.

"It appears that Blue Lake has been an important climate 'refuge' for the freshwater biota of the region, and is in the same condition now as it was 7,500 years ago," Barr told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Barr, who published his findings in the current issue of Freshwater Biology, said it's the only

Karen and Colin Rodger pose with their six children (PA)A Scottish woman has defied odds of 500,000 to one by giving birth to twins for the third time.

Karen Rodger, 41, welcomed her first pair of girls (Rowan and Isla) after having twice given birth to twin boys.

"I still haven't really taken it on board because I was convinced I was having two boys," Rodger told Sky News.

Karen says her husband Colin was equally stunned when the pair learned they were going to have their fifth and sixth child.

"He thought I was joking and immediately wrote back to say 'this is not funny'. I had to explain that it really was true," Karen said.

The average couple has about a 3 percent chance of having twins when not accounting for fertility drugs. And with each subsequent pregnancy, the odds of producing twins a second, or even third time, become exponentially less likely.

Karen, a dance lecturer, first learned of the incredibly rare occurrence during a visit to her doctor and immediately texted her husband to share the news.

"I just could not believe it.

Jimmy Iovine and Andrew "Dr. Dre" Young announce their $70M donation to USC. (AP)Millions of hip-hop fans have been getting a degree in Dr. Dre since the late 1980s. But for a few dedicated students, that will soon be a real thing.

Hip-hop icon Dr. Dre has helped launch a college degree program in “disruption” at the University of Southern California.

The influential rapper, record producer and headphone magnate has made a $70 million donation to USC with longtime music partner Jimmy Iovine.

“The vision and generosity of Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young will profoundly influence the way all of us perceive and experience artistic media. USC provides an extraordinarily rich academic, research and artistic environment,” USC President C.L. Max Nikias said in a statement. “We are committed to encouraging our students to use their intellectual and creative resources to effect change in all segments of society. Our goal is to ensure that the academy is the most collaborative educational program in the world.”

Iovine and Young first announced the donation in May, but now some

The bacon doughnut (Dunkin' Donuts)Dunkin’ Donuts wants everyone to have the opportunity to experience its culinary creation. So the store has decided to begin selling its bacon, egg and doughnut sandwiches at all of its locations beginning June 7.

The sandwich contains a fried egg and slices of smoked bacon stuffed between the halves of a sliced, glazed doughnut.

“The glazed doughnut is light and fluffy and gives you just the right amount of sweetness,” says Dunkin’ Executive Chef Stan Frankenthaler. “Combined with the lightly salted, smoked bacon, the texture and flavors marry together in a wonderful way. It’s a delicious bite of the perfect harmonization of sweet and savory flavors.”

And the timing is perfect, as June 7 is also the too-good-to-be-true holiday National Doughnut Day.

As it turns out, Dunkin' is not the first operation to produce a doughnut-based sandwich. The Illinois minor league baseball team the Gateway Grizzlies has been selling a doughnut hamburger, using Krispy Kremes in place of traditional

A kangaroo was on the loose in Florida. (Pasco County Sheriff's Office/Facebook)Florida deputy Gene Smith thought the calls about a kangaroo on the loose were part of a prank.

But WTSP reports that the story was true: A five-foot-tall, 200-pound kangaroo was hopping around Pasco County on Sunday.

Then the call came that it was now on U.S. 301. Smith—who noted that the calls were the strangest he's received during 17 years on the force—said, "Sure enough, there was a kangaroo in the middle of the road. It was a pretty big and extremely strong animal. It wasn't until I grabbed those legs that I realized just how strong they were. It doesn't look like that on TV."

In fact, the kangaroo was so strong police couldn't catch it. Along with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Pasco County Sheriff's Office Agricultural Unit, they tried a number of approaches to wrangle in the marsupial without seriously injuring it. But not even tranquilizers could slow the creature down.

"We attempted to Taser the kangaroo," Smith said. "That had no effect."

A fossil largely forgotten inside a Chinese museum might actually contain the world’s first bird.

Nature magazine reports that the Aurornis xui specimen was technically discovered by a Chinese farmer several years ago. But it had remained unidentified until paleontologist Pascal Godefroit stumbled across the fossil last year in the museum at the Fossil and Geology Park in Yizhou.

“In my opinion, it's a bird,” Godefroit, who is at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels, told Nature. “But these sorts of hypotheses are very controversial. We’re at the origins of a group. The differences between birds and [nonavian] dinosaurs are very thin.”

Godefroit and his team of researchers have written a paper on the Aurornis xui that was published in the latest issue of Nature, where it is described as the "most primitive" bird specimen yet discovered.

So, why is there a debate on whether the specimen should be considered the world’s first bird?

First of all, the Aurornis xui,
