Funniest thing you'll read today: Coast Guard rescues man running from Florida to Bermuda in a 'bubble' [photos]

“Rogue hamster.” LOL.

Let’s meet the hamster, Reza Baluchi, who was actually on this “run” for charity:

Does the Coast Guard now bill Baluchi for the rescue or do those costs count as a charitable contribution as well?
