Friday night news that earns its place at the table: a truck driver hauled a trailer from Embrun to Ottawa missing ten of its twelve wheels, with no brakes and an unsecured fastener on the two that remained. He was headed to a scrapyard. Police found him first.

Elsewhere, a man launched a speedboat off a thirty-foot waterfall in a Guinness record attempt that Guinness does not actually track. The boat now has a dent. So does the record. And the US Pentagon is handing out White House UFC tickets only to service members who clear a waist-to-height ratio check. Fat troops, per the Defence Secretary, are not invited.
