			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>Is NASA hiding secrets from the American people on the orders<br />
of the federal government? </p>
<p>The space race was won forty years ago when the United States<br />
landed on the moon before the Soviet Union, but since then<br />
there has been a lot of secrecy concerning the details of the<br />
moon landings. What exactly went on up there and what did the<br />
astronauts discover? </p>
<p>New sources have recently come forward suggesting that NASA<br />
has been suppressing photographic evidence of ancient ruins of<br />
artificial origin on the moon. </p>
<p>You would think news of this magnitude would be impossible<br />
to suppress, but what if the stakes were high enough to<br />
justify any cost to keep the secret safe? What if the stakes<br />
were the fate of human civilization itself? </p>
<p>Could the discoveries on the moon have launched research into<br />
alternative energies technologies such as anti gravity and<br />
nuclear fusion? How long would it take to reverse engineer<br />
technologies like these from ruined hints potentially tens<br />
of thousands of years old? Forty years or more? </p>
<p>Is it only a coincidence that Helium-3, the non-radioactive<br />
isotope which most physicists believe is the ideal (and<br />
perhaps only) fuel capable of sustaining nuclear fusion is<br />
so much more abundant on the Moon than on Earth? </p>
<p>While thinking about these questions consider that NASA is<br />
getting ready to abandon its current fleet of space shuttles<br />
for a revolutionary, long-range model that is still being<br />
designed. And this is in advance of plans to build a permanent<br />
base on the mood to be finished by 2024. </p>
<p>Are we on the threshold of the greatest revolution and<br />
revelation in human history? </p>
<p>Bizarrely,</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Worker apologizes for chicken licking &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>PRESTON, England &#8211; A former employee at a British grocery<br />
store apologized for videotaped shenanigans including<br />
licking raw chickens. Adeel Ayub, 60, apologized for his<br />
actions in the videos, which were taken before he left the<br />
company in 2006, after supermarket chain Asda said it was<br />
investigating his actions at the Preston, England, store,<br />
the Lancaster Evening Post reported Monday. The videos<br />
include footage of Ayub licking raw chickens that were<br />
returned to shelves, urinating into a trash bin, destroy-<br />
ing awards earned by the store, slashing coworkers&#8217; cloth-<br />
ing and setting off fire extinguishers. &#8220;I know there is<br />
no excuse for my atrocious behavior and I am truly sorry<br />
for what I did back then. I express my profound apologies<br />
to Asda and to its staff and customers,&#8221; Ayub said. Police<br />
said they are reviewing CCTV footage from the Asda store. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Man feeds family on discarded bets &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>NEW YORK &#8211; A New York man said he has cashed in nearly<br />
half a million dollars worth of betting slips during<br />
the past 10 years without buying a single ticket. Jesus<br />
Leonardo, 57, said losing a betting slip a decade ago<br />
led him to discover nearly $2,000 in discarded slips in<br />
an off-track betting parlor&#8217;s trash can, The New York<br />
Times reported Tuesday. Leonardo, who is married with<br />
two teenage children, said he now supports his family<br />
with the $100 to $300 he makes per day collecting 2,000<br />
to 7,000 discarded tickets from five betting parlors in<br />
the city. &#8220;This has become my job, my life,&#8221; he said.<br />
&#8220;This is how I feed my family.&#8221; &#8220;At first, my wife thought<br />
I was crazy, but then she realized I was finding a lot of<br />
money in winning tickets, sometimes $200 a day,&#8221; he said.<br />
&#8220;After a while, she didn&#8217;t think I was so crazy.&#8221; Leonardo<br />
said he spends hours in front of ticket machines to scan<br />
each discarded ticket. &#8220;It is such exhausting work that<br />
I give myself a lunch hour,&#8221; he said. </p>

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>Lewis, If he actually changed his name to Monster Munch,<br />
which apparently he did, wouldn&#8217;t that cause some copyright<br />
infringements if he tries to use his name for a business<br />
later in life? -Gary<br />
[Only if he goes into business manufacturing kid's break-<br />
fast cereals.]</p>
<p>Howdy! I would like to pose one question to &#8216;global warming&#8217;<br />
supporters; If you really think you have the technology to<br />
control CO2 emissions, not just restrictions, why haven&#8217;t<br />
you controlled snowstorms, earthquakes, landslides,<br />
tornadoes, ice storms, and the like? Where is the science<br />
on that? Real science has been blocked, erased, destroyed<br />
by money/power hungry opportunists (read &#8216;liberals&#8217;) who<br />
care not a twit for anyone but themselves. How much of<br />
their honor, wealth &#038; treasure do they offer up?  -V49<br />
[Controlling emissions doesn't have anything to do with<br />
controlling weather. You can put scrubbers on smoke stacks<br />
and converters on engines, but the real solution is coming<br />
up with alternatives...and that doesn't have anything to<br />
do with global warming. Can anybody say anti gravity or<br />
nuclear fusion?]</p>
<p>Lewis, Is Monster Munch now related to John Munch of &#8220;Law<br />
and Order &#8211; SVU&#8221;. A side note Richard Belzer has played<br />
&#8220;Munch&#8221; on five different television shows, on three<br />
different networks. -Terry</p>
<p>I believe in Jesus and the Virgin Mary. But since they<br />
lived 2000 years ago, how does anyone know what they looked<br />
like? So when people see the Virgin Mary on a pancake or<br />
Jesus on an Iron, I have to wonder! -Hank Shaw</p>

<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>I think I&#8217;m a little too old for the video gaming phenomenon.<br />
It is a billion dollar industry. Gaming systems are as<br />
ubiquitous in American homes as televisions themselves. But<br />
I could never seem to get into them no matter how many times<br />
my sons have told me how &#8220;cool&#8221; some of the games are. </p>
<p>The only one that caught my attention was the Wii. And that<br />
is mostly because of the bowling and tennis games. But the<br />
Wii is so expensive I would never spend that kind of money<br />
on myself. </p>
<p>There are cheaper game systems out there that are just as<br />
cool as the brand name ones if you know what they are and<br />
where to find them. Like the Reactor Interactive Gaming<br />
System for example. </p>
<p>This system is just like the Wii but around $50.</p>
<p>The Reactor is an interactive wireless gaming system with<br />
real-time action. You can get the whole system AND 32 games<br />
for hundred of dollars less than the original system!<br />
(19 different sports and athletic games, 11 classic arcade<br />
games, plus Sudoku and chess) </p>
<p>FEATURES:<br />
- 16-Big Graphics<br />
- Two Remotes<br />
- Stereo Sound<br />
- Fun For ALL Ages<br />
- Wireless Game Console<br />
- Multi-Player Action<br />
- 32 Built-In Games<br />
- EASY To Hook Up Plug &#038; Play (RCA Connection)</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested you can check it out at the link below.<br />
Grab one for $49.99 or save even more and get two for $79.98</p>
<p>http://pd.gophercentral.com/u/1301/c/211/a/%%merge lists_.nalt3_%%</p>
<p>With Christmas weeks away this would make a very cool present<br />
for pretty much any kid of any age on your list. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Man names self after potato chips &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>LONDON &#8211; A British fan of Monster Munch potato chips has<br />
undergone a legal name change to share the same moniker<br />
as his favorite brand of snack food. Monster Munch, 26,<br />
said he changed his name from Chris Hunt by deed poll<br />
because he has always loved the brand and his friends did<br />
not believe he would go through with the name change when<br />
he first started talking about it, The Daily Telegraph<br />
reported Thursday. &#8220;They looked at me like I was nuts and<br />
dared me to change my name,&#8221; Munch said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think<br />
they thought I would go through with it, but now I demand<br />
to be called either &#8216;Monster&#8217; or &#8216;Mr. Munch.&#8217;&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Woman finds &#8216;Virgin Mary&#8217; on pancake &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>GLENDALE, Ariz. &#8211; An Arizona woman said she was given<br />
peace and comfort from an unlikely source &#8212; a pancake<br />
bearing an image she said resembles the Virgin Mary.<br />
Bianca Lopez said she was cooking Batter Blaster pancakes<br />
for her family a few days before Thanksgiving at their<br />
Glendale home and she noticed the image of Jesus&#8217; mother<br />
looking back at her from the final pancake of the batch,<br />
KNXV-TV, Phoenix, reported Thursday. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s God&#8217;s<br />
way of telling us that the holidays aren&#8217;t just about<br />
presents. It&#8217;s about&#8230; spending time with your family and<br />
friends and telling us to not forget about him, that he&#8217;s<br />
always there watching over us and taking care of us,&#8221;<br />
Lopez said. Lopez said she is keeping the pancake safe in<br />
her freezer until she can decide what to do with it. </p>

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>Lewis; Thirty five years ago I worked at the Navy Undersea<br />
Weapons Center. They were training seals to help find sunken<br />
material. They brought in an animal called a stellar seal<br />
and put him in the big tank. The seal weighed in at about a<br />
thousand pounds. When he hit the water all the other seals<br />
came out of the water like they had gotten an electric shock.<br />
It is amazing how far they can jump.<br />
[Well, consider, how far would you jump if I suddenly dropped<br />
a thousand pound woman into your bed?]</p>
<p>The pollutants that people put into the atmosphere do affect<br />
global warming. However, I read a report some time ago that<br />
said that when Mt. St.Helens erupted, it released more green-<br />
house gases into the atmosphere that all the autos, factories<br />
and campfires combined since the beginning of time. And that&#8217;s<br />
just one example of Mother Nature&#8217;s contribution. And then<br />
there&#8217;s the Earth&#8217;s rotational axis issue. In comparison, what<br />
comes out of my car&#8217;s tailpipe is almost trivial. -Ed Gray </p>
<p>&#8220;I wanted a diamond and you give me this shit necklace?<br />
You’re OTC!&#8221; (On The Couch) -Don Hoehn<br />
[Sounds like you've had some experience with that.]</p>
<p>Omg, no, my moose poo necklace had nothing to do with a Dirty<br />
Sanchez!  Had to look that one up.  What I found bizarre (or<br />
just a real coinky- dink) was that the reader comment following<br />
mine mentioned Estes Park.  The necklace was given to me by a<br />
girl friend whose last name was Estes.  Granddaughter of the<br />
woman who named Moose Pass, Ak. -Dirty Dianna<br />
[You had to look up "Dirty Sanchez" and you like to call<br />
yourself "Dirty" Dianna? I'm beginning to doubt you!]</p>

<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>Just when you thought the cold war was over, the arms race<br />
is back on, but this time it&#8217;s not nuclear weapons, but<br />
sea mammals. Sea lions to be specific. </p>
<p>A Russian scientist who trains seals to carry out secret<br />
military missions complained in a newspaper interview that<br />
Russia has fallen behind the United States in this important<br />
military arena.</p>
<p>&#8220;We would really like our animals in future to work like<br />
American sea lions,&#8221; Gennady Matishov, director of the<br />
Murmansk Marine Biology Institute in northern Russia said.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Americans drop their animals from helicopters into<br />
enemy waters and then the animals place mines on instal-<br />
lations, make videos of what they see along an enemy shore<br />
or use a special gauge to measure radiation,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Matishov trains around 10 seals that can locate mines, pick<br />
up objects from the seabed and assist divers by bringing<br />
them tools.</p>
<p>What is more, the seals can differentiate a Russian diver<br />
from an enemy and can &#8220;render harmless&#8221; or even kill an<br />
enemy.</p>
<p>Matishov said he was one of the few researchers still working<br />
in the field after the fall of the Soviet Union.</p>
<p>In Soviet times, bottle-nosed dolphins were trained to guard<br />
the Sevastopol naval base on the Black Sea and if necessary<br />
to kill enemy infiltrators using spears attached to special<br />
muzzles.</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Mass. party full of twins, triplets &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>BROCKTON, Mass. &#8211; Organizers of a Massachusetts party<br />
said more than 400 twins, triplets, siblings and parents<br />
attended the holiday celebration. Keeping Pace with<br />
Multiple Miracles, which organized Sunday&#8217;s party at<br />
Shaw&#8217;s Center in Brockton, said dozens of families with<br />
twins and triplets came out to pose for pictures with<br />
Santa and socialize with families faced with similar<br />
situations, the Boston Globe reported Monday. &#8220;No one&#8217;s<br />
going to say, &#8216;Oh, my God. How do you do it?&#8217; It&#8217;s like<br />
you&#8217;re anonymous,&#8221; Donna Baker, co-founder of Keeping Pace<br />
with Multiple Miracles and mother of 15-year-old triplets<br />
and a 19-year-old, said of the party&#8217;s comforting<br />
atmosphere for parents of multiples. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Woman finds &#8216;Jesus&#8217; on bottom of iron &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>METHUEN, Mass. &#8211; A Massachusetts woman said the rust<br />
colored residue she found on the bottom of her clothes<br />
iron resembles the face of Jesus Christ. Mary Jo Coady,<br />
44, of Methuen, said she noticed the image on the iron<br />
Sunday, weeks after the last time it was used, and it<br />
helped to reaffirm her Catholic faith following her<br />
split from her husband and economic troubles, the (North<br />
Andover, Mass.) Eagle-Tribune reported Monday. &#8220;I see his<br />
eyes, his nose, his whole face and I was like, &#8216;That&#8217;s<br />
Jesus looking at us,&#8217;&#8221; Coady said. &#8220;It just gave me a<br />
sign that life is going to be good,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I think<br />
he&#8217;s listening.&#8221; Coady said the image even affected her<br />
skeptical-minded daughters, Melody, 21, and Alison, 20.<br />
&#8220;They wouldn&#8217;t believe this if it hit them in the head,<br />
and they were like, &#8216;Mom, that&#8217;s Jesus looking at us,&#8217;&#8221;<br />
Coady said. Coady said she&#8217;s retiring the iron the<br />
preserve the image and will buy a new one. </p>

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>It has taken eons (75,000,000 yrs plus) to change plankton<br />
to crude oil. Crude oil is stored energy. Energy is heat.<br />
People are going to release all this heat within a 175 year<br />
span. The by-product is greenhouse gases which hold the<br />
heat in our atmosphere. I&#8217;m surprised we still have snow.<br />
Someone said we need to save the earth. The earth will be<br />
here a 1000 years from now, we need to save our own ass.  </p>
<p>Lewis: I don&#8217;t know if there is or is not global warming,<br />
but I do know that for hundreds of years, every household<br />
on the planet burned wood, coal, or at least cow chips for<br />
warmth in the winter or for cooking. Just open, inefficient<br />
fires. Wouldn&#8217;t that release more carbon into the atmos-<br />
phere than what households of the late 20th and early 21st<br />
century are responsible for? Even with the population higher<br />
than its ever been, most of the world&#8217;s highest population<br />
centers are tropic or sub tropic, lessening the need carbon<br />
based fuels for heat. -Jerry<br />
[No one is arguing that since the industrial revolution the<br />
production of pollutants and so-called greenhouse gases has<br />
increased a thousand or maybe ten thousand fold. The question<br />
is are these pollutants actually causing global climate<br />
change?]</p>
<p>Hi, Lewis, Although it sounds disgusting I bet the Reindeer<br />
poo jewelry is beautiful. Over 30 years ago a friend of mine<br />
from Alaska gave me a Moose poo necklace.  It was so pretty<br />
but unfortunately for some reason my dog ate it. Dirty Dianna<br />
[A Moose poo necklace? Is that anything like a Dirty Sanchez?]</p>
<p>Lewis, Fail to see what the big deal is about jewelry made<br />
from dung. There are numerous shops in Estes Park, Colorado<br />
that have been selling jewelry made of elk dung for years,<br />
at least 20 that I know of. -Fred</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to shoot a deer, make sure it&#8217;s dead before<br />
you think about dressing it or you might end up like Randy<br />
Goodman. </p>
<p>The Missouri deer hunter said a vengeful buck got back on<br />
its feet after being shot and attacked him with its antlers. </p>
<p>Goodman said he shot the buck once in its broadside and<br />
once in its neck before climbing down from his tree stand<br />
to inspect what he thought was a lifeless corpse. Goodman<br />
grabbed one of the nine-point, 240-pound buck&#8217;s antlers to<br />
inspect his kill and suddenly the large deer jumped back to<br />
its feet and started attacking him with its antlers. </p>
<p>&#8220;It was 15 seconds of hell,&#8221; Goodman said of the attack. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure it wasn&#8217;t much fun for the deer either. </p>
<p>He said the deer eventually fled and fell down again about<br />
30 yards away. Goodman said he walked back to his tree<br />
stand, retrieved his gun and put two more in the buck&#8217;s neck<br />
to ensure it wouldn&#8217;t get up again. </p>
<p>Goodman drove his car back toward the road and called his<br />
brother and his son, who was hunting nearby, for help. He<br />
was taken to the emergency room, where he received seven<br />
staples in the left side of his scalp and doctors told him<br />
he had suffered a concussion. </p>
<p>The deer was reported to be delicious. </p>
<p>Bizarrely,</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Woman sues over faulty toilet seat &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>ALLENTOWN, Pa. &#8211; A New Jersey woman has filed a lawsuit<br />
against a Pennsylvania bar, claiming that a faulty toilet<br />
seat caused her to fall into the commode. Kathleen Hewko<br />
of Delran claims she still suffers from a back injury<br />
inflicted by the fall at Starters in Lower Saucon Township,<br />
The Allentown Morning Call reports. She is seeking $150,000<br />
from the bar and Kohler Co., the toilet&#8217;s manufacturer.<br />
Her husband, John, is asking for $75,000 for loss of<br />
consortium. Her lawyer, John D. Cirrinicione of<br />
Philadelphia, said Hewko yelled for help but was finally<br />
able to free herself when no one responded. He said she<br />
is of moderate weight and the problem was clearly a<br />
defective seat. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Library display shows Santa&#8217;s grisly end &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>OBERLIN, Ohio &#8211; A public library in Oberlin, Ohio, has a<br />
holiday display that features a legless Santa Claus being<br />
pushed down the stairs by a sadistic Christmas tree.<br />
Conceptual artist Keith McGuckin, who created the Oberlin<br />
Public Library display, created a narrative to accompany<br />
the image that explains Santa&#8217;s legs were destroyed by an<br />
alcohol-fueled incident involving power lines, and the tree<br />
pushing St. Nick&#8217;s wheelchair down a flight of stairs plans<br />
to visit a strip club with the money he took from Santa&#8217;s<br />
Salvation Army kettle, The (Elyria, Ohio) Chronicle-<br />
Telegram reported. The artist said authorities would rule<br />
the jolly elf&#8217;s death an accident. McGuckin, who raised<br />
controversy in previous years with Christmas displays<br />
featuring Nazi gingerbread men and drug-smuggling elves,<br />
said he does not expect his latest work of art to prove<br />
any less provocative. &#8220;I think a lot of people will be<br />
upset about a legless Santa,&#8221; he said. Library director<br />
Darren McDonough said the display will remain in place for<br />
the holiday season. &#8220;Remember the old library saying &#8212;<br />
&#8216;If we don&#8217;t have something to offend you, we&#8217;re not doing<br />
our job,&#8217;&#8221; McDonough said.  </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Teen on lonely voyage around the world &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. &#8211; A teenager from Thousand Oaks,<br />
Calif., is lonely as he attempts to sail around the world,<br />
his mother says. Marianne Sunderland said her son, Zac,<br />
was forced to celebrate both Thanksgiving and his 17th<br />
birthday alone on his 36-foot sailboat while trying to<br />
become the youngest person to sail around the world all<br />
alone, the Los Angeles Times said Thursday. Zac is thankful<br />
for the relatively calm weather he has enjoyed to date,<br />
his mother said. &#8220;Zac is well and entering the danger zone<br />
as far as weather off of Africa,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So far he has<br />
had pretty light winds and so though he&#8217;s not making great<br />
progress, he is happy to not be getting his butt kicked.&#8221;<br />
Sunderland said in a Thanksgiving Day blog that everyone<br />
who has supported Zac, who is now beyond the halfway point<br />
of his journey, deserved special holiday thanks, the Times<br />
said. &#8220;On behalf of Zac and the entire Sunderland family<br />
we thank you all for supporting and encouraging all of us<br />
in this endeavor,&#8221; she said. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; 3-foot snake causes printer to jam &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>GOLD COAST, Australia &#8211; A man in the Australian town of<br />
Lismore says a snake more than 3 feet long was living<br />
inside a computer printer and caused the device to<br />
malfunction. Denis Matthews said the snake was found<br />
inside a Friends of the Lismore Rainforest Botanic Gardens<br />
printer, the Gold Coast Bulletin reported in its Thursday<br />
edition. &#8220;When I used a long pointer to encourage the<br />
snake to move, it reluctantly came out through the front,<br />
under the monitor screen and round the back of the computer<br />
case,&#8221; Matthews said. Matthews was able to remove the snake<br />
from the printer used by the group, for which his wife<br />
Marie serves as publicity officer, but the creature appears<br />
to have found its way back. Matthews said a number of<br />
displaced objects have been found on the room&#8217;s shelves,<br />
leading him to suspect the snake may be living somewhere<br />
inside the room. The snake appears to be a nocturnal brown<br />
tree snake, a species known to be venomous and very<br />
aggressive if confronted, Matthews said. </p>

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>Hey Lewis, Have you noticed a lot more of your stories now<br />
originate in Florida? Living in Mouse-Town East I have to<br />
say there are a lot of very bizarre people down here! Seems<br />
like Florida is becoming the &#8220;new Alabama&#8221;. -Marty<br />
[Alabama is probably just leaking.]</p>
<p>That Chinese contortionist chick was fantastic. Whomever<br />
rated it a 2, has their head up their @$$! -D.S.<br />
[That chick almost did, too!]</p>
<p>Hey Lewis, This is in reply to Tink and her question about<br />
going back to school.  I am longer in the tooth than she<br />
is and I did it.  I graduate in May with a Bachelors, GO<br />
ME!  Besides, if she does decide to go back to school,<br />
they will teach her how to capitalize proper nouns when<br />
she writes, it&#8217;s a win win situation. -Nikki<br />
[Busted.]</p>
<p>Lewis, are you kidding?!?  Just about ALL of my college<br />
education was wasted!  I have a BA in Business Admin with<br />
a computer option and my current job as Software Tech<br />
Support for last 15 years was gotten because of Customer<br />
Service skills I got from McDonald&#8217;s. College is a great<br />
place to waste money. If tink is serious about quick ed-<br />
ucation, have her check out local technical schools or<br />
government education centers. -James<br />
[I should revise my statement a bit. I think expanding<br />
one's mind, horizons and skills is never wasted. If you<br />
spend $60k a year in college learning basket-weaving that's<br />
your own look-out. And if your boss hired you as a software<br />
tech support rep because of your experience at McDonald's<br />
you might want to suggest that he or she stop using crack,<br />
although that might jeopardize your job.]</p>
<p>The mention of an urn with a baseball and plate gave me a<br />
great product idea, which I will pass on to you. How about<br />
an urn in the shape of a dildo, so you can continue to<br />
please her even after you pass on?<br />
[This person wisely did not attach a name to his or her<br />
email.] </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>Years ago I picked up a great little habit from one of our<br />
other publications, Thrifty Tips. The idea was extremely<br />
simple. Put a jar on your counter and at the end of the day<br />
throw your spare change into it. </p>
<p>Up until that time I had always made an effort to spend the<br />
change that accumulated in my car or that I had in my pocket.<br />
I figured if I kept myself from breaking a dollar I was<br />
saving a dollar. What I discovered was that by saving my<br />
nickels, dimes and quarters it was like having another,<br />
personal, little savings account. </p>
<p>The only inconvenience was having no clue how much was in<br />
there. Did I have enough for a dinner out or for a brand new<br />
jacket? </p>
<p>Well, somebody solved that problem by coming up with the<br />
ELECTRONIC MONEY MACHINE BANK. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s exactly what I described except every time you drop a<br />
coin in the machine counts its denomination and displays a<br />
running total of your savings so you&#8217;ll know exactly how<br />
much you have! </p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;re not so interested in saving a few bucks, but<br />
you would like to teach your kids that money doesn&#8217;t grow<br />
on trees. </p>
<p>Tell them, &#8216;You can buy that fifty dollar video game as soon<br />
as you save enough in your MONEY MACHINE.&#8217; That&#8217;ll get them<br />
interested in saving money when they can see it grow with<br />
every deposit. </p>
<p>And you won&#8217;t have to save to pick up this little gadget<br />
either. The DEAL price for Bizarre News subscribers is only<br />
$9.99. </p>
<p>Store Price: $14.99<br />
DEAL PRICE: $9.99</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;- Booze cheaper than water in British stores &#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>LONDON &#8211; Thirsty consumers seeking to wet their whistles<br />
can pay less for booze than bottled water at leading<br />
British supermarkets, research indicates. The British<br />
government announced plans last week to tackle a binge<br />
drinking epidemic in the country by banning bars and shops<br />
from having &#8220;irresponsible&#8221; price promotions. But the anti-<br />
substance abuse charity Addaction says its research shows<br />
that discounted store-brand alcohol can be had for as<br />
little as 35 cents per can, The Times of London reported<br />
Monday. The newspaper said Addaction analyzed a shopping<br />
basket of popular alcoholic drinks from supermarkets<br />
including Tesco, Sainsbury&#8217;s and ASDA, finding that<br />
although the array of cheap alcohol has shrunk over the<br />
past year, grocers are still offering their own brands of<br />
&#8220;value booze.&#8221; For instance, Addaction found hard cider<br />
sold by the three supermarkets cost 90 cents per liter,<br />
less than a bottle of Coca-Cola, The Times reported. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Police say teen swallowed stolen earrings &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>NAPLES, Fla. &#8211; Police accuse a Florida teenager of stealing<br />
a pair of earrings from a JCPenney store and attempting to<br />
hide the evidence by swallowing it. Investigators said<br />
William Colburn, 18, of Naples was taken into custody<br />
Saturday by store security officers and police later took<br />
him to NCH Downtown Naples Hospital, where the earrings<br />
were spotted in his stomach via an X-ray, the Naples Daily<br />
News reported Monday. Store security officers also found a<br />
small amount of marijuana on the suspect while searching<br />
him for the earrings, police said. Colburn was charged with<br />
retail theft, tampering with evidence and possession of<br />
marijuana.  </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Florida man charged in pie assault &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>INDIANTOWN, Fla. &#8211; Florida authorities say domestic battery<br />
charges are pending against a man who allegedly hit his<br />
girlfriend in the face with a Thanksgiving pie. The<br />
incident left the alleged victim with burns to the neck<br />
since the sweet potato pie involved was fresh out of the<br />
oven. TCPalm.com said Tuesday that Christopher Ford, 46 of<br />
Indiantown, Fla., was arrested Thanksgiving evening after<br />
he and the victim got into an argument over the meal she<br />
had prepared. He allegedly ended the discussion by shoving<br />
the pie into the woman&#8217;s face. Ford fled when the woman&#8217;s<br />
teenage sons entered the kitchen to see what was going on<br />
but was picked up later by Martin County sheriff&#8217;s deputies.</p>

director, Bob, said the familial pair first came across the<br />
Eternal Image product at a 2007 National Funeral Directors<br />
Association convention in Las Vegas. &#8220;As soon as we saw it,<br />
we knew we wanted it,&#8221; Bob Biggins said. &#8220;We fell in love<br />

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>I thought everyone knew that sexual frustration was normal<br />
in the UK? What do you feed women to make them go off sex?<br />
Wedding-cake. -Bill<br />
[Or pretty much any kind of British food, from what I<br />
understand.]</p>
<p>I recently had the weird combination of chocolate-covered<br />
bacon at a party. It was great. What&#8217;s not to like. People<br />
shouldn&#8217;t write it off until they try it. By the way: my<br />
sexual frustration didn&#8217;t change after I ate it. -Scott<br />
[You mean women didn't flock to you after watching you<br />
stuff your face with chocolate-covered bacon all night?<br />
How odd.]</p>
<p>Lewis, Can you pass on a message to my boyfriend?  I just<br />
found out he&#8217;s been a subscriber to your newsletter since<br />
the very beginning.  Tell him that I love him and that if/<br />
when he decides to ask a certain question, the answer will<br />
be yes. Thanks, Martha (p.s. he lives in California and I<br />
live in Michigan)<br />
[Dear Martha's boyfriend, think to yourself...is this woman<br />
affectionate, generous, honest, loyal and intelligent? Does<br />
she perform unnatural, kinky things in the bedroom? If you<br />
can answer 'yes' to these questions, don't waste time. Do<br />
it while you still have plenty of years to enjoy each other!]</p>
<p>dearest lewis, what do you think about going back to school?<br />
if your 30 something! i have been a stay at home Mom for 10<br />
yrs and i am ready to start off where i left off. i want to<br />
become a nurse. i guess IM lonely and my heath is fine, IM<br />
just worried about my age. have any advice? &#8211;hugs, tink<br />
[Education is never wasted. And concerning your age, the day<br />
you stop learning is the day you start dying. So get back to<br />
school!]</p>
<p>Want to start some bizarre scenes in offices next week?<br />
While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the<br />
floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this,<br />
draw the number &#8220;6&#8243; in the air with your right hand. Your<br />
foot will change direction! &#8211;Donna<br />
[This is already too complicated for me. I'll see if I can<br />
get TZ to do it. He let himself become hypnotized, he<br />
should have problem with this.] </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>Remember the old saw about not using public restrooms because<br />
you might get crotch rot or butt fungus from the toilet? As<br />
it turns out&#8230;if that public bathroom is in a restaurant or<br />
bar you might be better off using the toilet than ordering a<br />
drink. </p>
<p>In a test of ice cubes from 49 fast-food and casual-dining<br />
restaurants and hotel bars in the city and suburbs, the<br />
Chicago Sun-Times found that more than one of every five<br />
samples contained high levels of bacteria. </p>
<p>By comparison, a water sample taken from a toilet in a men&#8217;s<br />
room tested cleaner than the ice obtained at 21 of the<br />
restaurants and bars. </p>
<p>Nearly all of the ice tested that came from self-serve ice<br />
machines had low levels of bacteria or none at all. Hotel<br />
lobby bars, where ice is often transported by and handled<br />
by multiple people, didn&#8217;t test as well: Three of four bars<br />
tested had ice with high levels of bacteria. </p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not like you&#8217;ll see people dropping over dead or huge<br />
numbers getting sick because it&#8217;s going to take just the<br />
right bacteria and the right person to make them ill,&#8221; said<br />
Penn State University&#8217;s Brian Swistock, co-author of the<br />
university&#8217;s publication &#8220;Water Tests: What Do the Numbers<br />
Mean?&#8221; </p>
<p>But high bacteria levels such as those found in some of the<br />
ice cube samples might help explain some of the stomach ills<br />
people get. </p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;m suddenly hungry. Who wants to go to lunch? The iced<br />
tea is on me. </p>
<p>Bizarrely,</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Granny Robber suspect to be tracked &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>FRANKLIN, Ohio &#8211; A 68-year-old Ohio woman suspected of<br />
being the so-called Granny Robber behind three bank<br />
robberies will be tracked by authorities, a judge has<br />
ruled. Franklin Municipal Court Judge Rupert E. Ruppert<br />
ruled that while Barbara Joly will remain free as<br />
investigators look into her alleged connection with the<br />
heists, her daily actions will be tracked by Global<br />
Positioning System satellites, The Cincinnati Enquirer<br />
said Wednesday. Chris Atkins, Joly&#8217;s attorney, said after<br />
Tuesday&#8217;s hearing that the tracking effort will help his<br />
client in case any similar heists are committed in the<br />
future. &#8220;It&#8217;s as much for her to be accountable for her<br />
whereabouts as it is in case someone tries to imitate<br />
her so we will know where she wasn&#8217;t,&#8221; Atkins told the<br />
newspaper. Joly is the main suspect in three bank robberies<br />
in the area since May, including a recent heist at the<br />
Huntington Bank in Franklin, Ohio. She was officially<br />
charged last Friday in relation to the third theft. The<br />
moniker Granny Robber came about as the suspect in the<br />
robberies was identified as an elderly woman wearing<br />
sunglasses and a scarf, the Enquirer said. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;- Seuss lawyers crash Louisville Grinch gala &#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>LOUISVILLE, Ky. &#8211; Louisville, Ky., boosters say the city&#8217;s<br />
annual Christmas celebration will go on as scheduled<br />
despite last-minute changes made to mollify Dr. Seuss&#8217;s<br />
lawyers. Light Up Louisville was supposed to have a &#8220;How<br />
the Grinch Stole Christmas&#8221; theme this year but that plan<br />
caught the eye of Seuss Enterprises in San Diego, which<br />
sent attorney Barbara Orr to point out copyright issues<br />
to the city, The Courier-Journal newspaper in Louisville<br />
said Tuesday. Orr fired off a cease-and-desist letter to<br />
the Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau, which then<br />
agreed to change the name of the kids&#8217; play area from<br />
&#8220;LouWhoVill&#8221; to &#8220;Lou-Ville&#8221; and is benching the guy in<br />
the Grinch costume, the newspaper said. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Man, skid loader, stolen ATM take tumble &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>LEAVENWORTH, Kan. &#8211; A Kansas man, a skid loader and an<br />
allegedly stolen ATM all survived a 50-foot tumble down<br />
an embankment during a burglary, police say. Leavenworth,<br />
Kan., Police Chief Patrick Kitchens told The Kansas City<br />
Star the 49-year-old suspect sustained only minor injuries<br />
after mishandling a stolen skid loader he had allegedly<br />
used to pry an ATM loose from a federal credit union<br />
Sunday morning. Kitchens said the suspect had succeeded in<br />
using the machine to lift the ATM from its moorings, and<br />
allegedly decided he could break it open by dropping it<br />
down a steep hill. But instead of just the ATM going over,<br />
the suspect, trapped inside the skid loader&#8217;s cage, also<br />
tumbled down the embankment and through a wooded area,<br />
landing near some parked semi-trailers, the Star said.<br />
&#8220;It is stunning that he is still alive,&#8221; Kitchens told the<br />
newspaper. &#8220;We are talking about a 50-foot embankment &#8212;<br />
basically straight down. He has the ATM, which basically<br />
weighs 3,000 pounds.&#8221; </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Pianist&#8217;s skull appears in Hamlet &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>STRATFORD-ON-AVON, England &#8211; An English concert pianist<br />
who died 26 years ago has been granted his final wish &#8212;<br />
to appear on stage in Hamlet playing the skull in the<br />
graveyard scene. Andre Tchaikowsky&#8217;s skull has been used<br />
in rehearsals since he willed it to the Royal Shakespeare<br />
Company, The Sun reported. Now, the skull has finished a<br />
run of performances in Stratford-on-Avon, with actor David<br />
Tennant as Hamlet holding it up while intoning, &#8220;Alas,<br />
poor Yorick, I knew him, Horatio&#8230;&#8221; The company didn&#8217;t<br />
let audiences know they were seeing a real skull until the<br />
last performance. The Polish-born pianist, who died of<br />
cancer at the age of 46, was a fan of William Shakespeare<br />
and especially of &#8220;Hamlet.&#8221; He made frequent trips to<br />
Stratford to see RSC performances. &#8220;It was Andre&#8217;s dream,&#8221;<br />
Dave Ferre, a friend of the pianist&#8217;s family, said. &#8220;They<br />
will be pleased he has made it on stage.&#8221; Tennant, best-<br />
known as the latest incarnation of &#8220;Doctor Who,&#8221; plans to<br />
use Tchaikowsky&#8217;s skull again when the &#8220;Hamlet&#8221; production<br />
opens in London. David Howells, the RSC archivist, says a<br />
real skull hasn&#8217;t been used since the 19th century. </p>

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>Is this bacon chocolate England&#8217;s effort to redeem them-<br />
selves of a reputation of nasty cuisine?  Does it come with<br />
a side of marmite?  Honestly, I think it&#8217;s all a sick way<br />
of addressing sexual frustration. God knows it won&#8217;t help<br />
their dental situation at all. -Kyndria<br />
[Bacon and chocolate is a way of addressing sexual<br />
frustration? As in...bacon and chocolate will make you so<br />
sick you won't worry about the fact that you're not getting<br />
any in the sack? I don't get it.]</p>
<p>Many, Many years back my Carin terrier ran away. Two years<br />
later I got a call from the Humane Socity that they had my<br />
dog. I told them I didn&#8217;t own a dog. They discribed the<br />
dog and I was surprised to find it was my missing dog Raggs.<br />
I went down to pick him up. They fined me because he had<br />
an expired license and he hadnt had his shots for two years.<br />
While I was telling them how wrong it was for these charges<br />
they informed me I owed them for three days room and board<br />
for Raggs also. I paid the fine.<br />
[If it were me I would have just denied the dog was mine.]</p>
<p>I just must say, you made me laugh today. what a concept!<br />
 -Gail<br />
[And this wasn't even a spam email about how tiny my penis<br />
is.]</p>
<p>Hiya Lewis! I had to laugh when I read about the car thief<br />
who was attacked by grocery shoppers, one of whom smacked<br />
him in the head with a frozen turkey.  He may be the only<br />
person ever to be hospitalized because somebody flipped the<br />
bird at him! -Jody</p>
<p>Lewis, Your anonymity bothers me so much that I ask you to<br />
either identify your self or remove me from your mailing<br />
list. Sincerely, David<br />
[You've figured me out. I'm really Maury Povich.]</p>
