A 21-year-old grain terminal worker in McFarland, Wisconsin who became buried up to his neck in soybeans was rescued about four hours after he went into a storage bin to investigate what was clogging its auger feed and became trapped in the beans, officials said.

"You know what quicksand is?" Schaller asked. "That's pretty much what it was."

Worker rescued four hours after becoming trapped in soybeans

In Muscatine, Iowa, Dean L. Wooten was fired for greeting Wal-Mart customers with a computer-generated photo in which he appeared to be naked _ except for a carefully placed Wal-Mart bag. Wooten reportedly told customers the store was cutting costs and the bag was the company's new uniform. A supervisor told him to stop showing the photo after customers complained. He was canned when he displayed the photo again.
