Not Quite A Love Triangle

March 25th, 2009

Greetings fellow Bizarros:

This story is more of a love “square” than a love triangle.
Mirror.co.uk reports on a bizarre story of cheating and
betrayal that ended up with two couples swapping partners
and homes 270 miles apart.

Four-times-married Barry, 48, left his pretty blonde partner
Kelly for Nicola after Barry and Nicola met on an online
gaming site.

Nicola, 39, a mother-of-two, left husband Shaun, 44, to be
with Barry.

Struggling to come to terms with the end of their relation-
ships, Kelly and Shaun got in touch and spent hours on the
phone consoling each other. A few months later they met
face-to-face and realized it was love.

A delighted Kelly, 31, says she has landed a much better
lover. “I am really happy with Shaun. He’s my best friend
and soulmate, plus he’s much better looking than Barry.”

Well, there is nothing like trading up. Both couples are now
planning to marry and they have conveniently traded houses.

All they have to do is raise each other’s kids since both
women are mothers. I give the whole thing 18 months.

Bizarrely,

Lewis

——— One in 10,000 Dutch over 100 years old ———-

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands – The official statistics bureau
in the Netherlands says one in every 10,000 Dutch citizens
is now age 100 or older. Statistics Netherlands said
centenarians in the country numbered only 350 in 1979, but
the number grew to a total 1,633 as of Jan. 1 of this year,
Expatica reported Monday. The agency said 33 percent of
those age 100 or above were men in 1979, but the male share
of the population has now dwindled to 12 percent. The
current oldest person in the Netherlands is a woman said
to be 111, the statistics bureau said.

——– Students say tomato should be N.J. veggie ———

TRENTON, N.J. – The tomato, while not officially a
vegetable, should be chosen as the official state vegetable
of New Jersey, a group of students says. The Star-Ledger
newspaper in Newark, N.J., said Monday that a group of
Memorial School fourth-grade students in Washington, N.J.,
have been calling for the tomato to receive the state honor
in an online petition. In addition to the students’
votetomato.com petition, one of the young Warren County
residents has contacted New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine about
the proposal, the newspaper reported. “If we are the
Garden State, why don’t we have a state vegetable?” the
unidentified student asked the governor. The tomato, while
typically considered a vegetable, is actually designated as
a fruit. The next steps for the active youngsters are an
e-mail and telephone lobbying campaign, along with a trip
to the state capital on April 6, The Star-Ledger said. That
date, appropriately, is National Tomato Day.

———— Record 300 jump into frigid lake ————–

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Organizers of the sixth annual
Lake Tahoe Polar Plunge on the California-Nevada border
said a record 300 people turned out to jump into the 39-
degree water. Jody Filgo, who started the annual event
six years ago with Elaine Glasser to benefit the Special
Olympics, said at least 300 people jumped into the frigid
lake Saturday to raise nearly $40,000 for the organization,
the Tahoe Daily Tribune reported. Filgo said the turnout
was “better than I ever would have imagined. People have
come from all over for this. It is a real team effort.”
Adam Turner, part of the Heavenly Sports Quick Silver store
team, said he could think of no better way to kick-off
spring than a jump into the chilly waters. “Besides, the
Special Olympics is a good, worthy cause,” he said.
“Heavenly Sports continues to donate equipment for the ski
program.” Kirsten Cherry, spokeswoman for the Special
Olympics of Northern California and Northern Nevada, said
the turnout was especially surprising given the current
state of the economy. “Even in this economy, to see this
many people come out and raise money through individual
donations, is amazing,” she said. “We’re so grateful to
those who support us in any way they can. Today’s turnout
was amazing.”

——– Hold the hay, horse is allergic to grass ———

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England – A British woman said her horse
has to be covered in clothing while outside due to a highly
unusual allergy for the species — an adverse reaction to
grass. Emily Pearce, 24, of Henley-on-Thames, England,
said Pandora the mare needs to be covered in a high-tech
polyester-based breathable fabric when around grass because
a single leaf touching her coat can cause painful boils and
troubled breathing for the animal, the Daily Mail reported.
“She does look silly but it is the only thing that helps
her,” Pearce said of Pandora’s clothing ensemble. Pearce
said the horse also wears a mask to protect her eyes and
is fed 15 antihistamine tablets every day. Pandora’s hay-
free diet consists of sugar beet chaff and soya oil.
Veterinarian Peter Fenton said he has encountered two
other cases of horses with grass allergies, but neither
matched the severity of Pandora’s condition.

Which head do they decapitate in Indonesia for masturbating?
-Keith
[Well, if the punishment is supposed to fit the crime....]

Lewis – My husband works in the nuclear power industry [and
no, he doesn't glow in the dark...yet]. I would be frightened
if his co-workers could legally use pot and then go to work
potentially still high. They’d all get a lot higher if it
went BOOM. -CR in IL
[You're right...much worse than going to work drunk.]

Actually, Fannie May and the government are making me
question things, again. So, why are we paying them bonuses
to retain them? If we review their performance (the way
most of the labor force in these businesses get reviewed)
they should all be fired. Not one of them managed the
company in a way that increased profit. Yet who do they
lay off, the people who actually DO the work. Maybe we
should send them all back to school for remedial math.
-Jonathan
[It is AIG executive bonuses that are causing all of the
controversy. And just wait until the Fed customizes a 90
percent tax on all left-handed, red-heads who make over
$250,000 per year. If they didn't want AIG to spend the
money how they wanted they shouldn't have given it to
them.]

$12 a year for a membership? Driving to Colorado to avoid
paying the membership fee? Who’s the fool here? -Lance
[When Illinois passed its no smoking in any public building
law a lot of the bars on the border in Indiana saw a spike
in business from people coming from Illinois. Nobody is
going to drive from Salt Lake City to Denver to save a
couple bucks on a beer, but I'm sure there was some leakage.
I only mentioned a couple of the restrictions because of
space...but there were other laws that made getting a drink
a real inconvenience.]
