After a visit to Vegas in February 2004, Paris Hilton arrived at the airport for a flight home to Los Angeles. Paris attempted to board the plane with some recent purchases. "The flight attendants thought I was insane," she recalled. "They were like, 'This isn't a travelling circus -- you're not bringing a goat on the plane!'"

[That's right: She tried to board the plane with a goat. Paris, who was also traveling with a monkey and a ferret, treated her new pets to a six-hour limousine ride home.]

[In January 2004, a German man clashed with airport officials after they refused to allow him to board a flight with a supermarket shopping cart. Though the man eventually agreed to leave the cart in Germany, the publicity surrounding the incident led the supermarket to press charges (for theft).]
