A man in Portland, Maine, was arrested for obstructing traffic after he crossed three roads very slowly dressed as a tree. Why would anyone do such a thing? Because he was pining to be closer to nature. No, really.

His outfit was constructed using parts of several types of trees, and he required a friend’s help to get the costume on. He aimed to cross five roads, but keeping traffic from moving was not oak-ay with the local police, who put him in jail for six hours before releasing him later in the evening.
