			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>Has anybody ever heard of the Tunguska Event? This is one of<br />
the oldest mysteries in the modern world, and it just past<br />
its one hundredth birthday. </p>
<p>It occurred in June 1908 over an isolated area in Siberia<br />
known as Tunguska. The aftermath of this event was so cata-<br />
strophic that an entire forest encompassing hundreds of<br />
square miles, tens of thousands of trees and entire herds<br />
of animals was instantly destroyed. Tremors were felt for<br />
hundreds of miles and an anomalous glow in the sky was<br />
observed as late as 10 days afterwards from as far away as<br />
England on the other side of the continent! </p>
<p>But what was the event? An explosion? Certainly. Caused by<br />
what nobody is exactly certain. But one man has a new and<br />
controversial theory. </p>
<p>Dr. Yuri Labvin, president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon<br />
Foundation, insists that an alien spacecraft sacrificed<br />
itself to prevent a gigantic meteor from slamming into the<br />
planet above Siberia.</p>
<p>Most scientists think the blast was caused by a meteorite<br />
exploding several miles above the surface. But Labvin thinks<br />
quartz slabs with strange markings found at the site are<br />
remnants of an alien control panel, which fell to the ground<br />
after the UFO slammed into the giant rock.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t have any technologies that can print such kind of<br />
drawings on crystals,&#8221; Labvin told the Macedonian Inter-<br />
national News Agency. &#8220;We also found ferrum silicate that<br />
can not be produced anywhere, except in space.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the surface it sounds bizarre, but no more off-the-wall<br />
than some of the other theories which have been put forward<br />
including that it was not a comet at all but an object of<br />
an antimatter nature or even a miniature black hole which<br />
suddenly appeared in space immediately above the earth. </p>
<p>That sounds plausible. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested there are plenty of photographs of<br />
the destruction to be found on the Internet. Just search<br />
Tunguska Event. And with that brewing in your brains let&#8217;s<br />
get on with some more current bizarre stories. </p>
<p>Bizarrely,</p>
<p>Lewis</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;&#8212;- Bizarre Addams Family Trivia &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;+</p>
<p>After John Astin&#8217;s first sitcom, &#8220;I&#8217;m Dickens, He&#8217;s<br />
Fenster,&#8221; was cancelled, he auditioned for &#8220;The Addams<br />
Family,&#8221; and was turned down&#8230;for the part of Lurch. He<br />
didn&#8217;t even try out for Gomez. But the producer spied John<br />
leaving the room, grabbed him, and offered him the lead<br />
role on the spot. The only condition: Astin had to grow<br />
a mustache. </p>
<p>It took Carolyn Jones two hours every day to put on<br />
Morticia&#8217;s makeup. The final touch: she wore a wig made<br />
of human hair. </p>
<p>Jones was only the producer&#8217;s 3rd choice to play Morticia.<br />
ABC insisted that they needed a &#8220;name&#8221; actress, and Jones<br />
was the only well-known performer in the running, so she<br />
got the part.</p>
<p>Cousin Itt&#8217;s voice was supplied by &#8220;Addams&#8221; producer Nat<br />
Perrin, who recited gibberish into a tape recorder and<br />
played it back at a higher speed.</p>
<p>Creator Charles Addams, who&#8217;d never given his characters<br />
first names, had to come up with some for the TV show.<br />
Within a week he&#8217;d decided on all of them &#8211; except for<br />
Mr. Addams, who almost wound up being called &#8220;Repelli&#8221;<br />
(for repellant) instead of Gomez.</p>
<p>Lurch got fan mail from teenage girls who thought he was<br />
cuter than the Beatles.</p>
<p>The unique interior of the Addams house was inspired by<br />
the real-life Manhattan apartment of Charles Addams, which<br />
contained suits of armor, an antique cross-bow collection,<br />
and other odds-and-ends. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Pool prodigy, 2, wows crowds &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>JOHNSTOWN, N.Y. &#8211; A New York state 2-year-old is impress-<br />
ing crowds and gathering TV invitations for his skills at<br />
shooting billiards on an adult-sized pool table. Keith and<br />
Courtney O&#8217;Dell of Johnstown said their young son, Keith<br />
Jr., received a child sized pool table for Christmas but<br />
quickly graduated to his dad&#8217;s regulation-size table, the<br />
New York Daily News reported Tuesday. The O&#8217;Dells said<br />
Keith Jr., who performed in April at the American Pool<br />
Association&#8217;s championship competition in Las Vegas and is<br />
scheduled to appear on the syndicated &#8220;Rachael Ray Show&#8221;<br />
in July, learned the game by watching his father shoot<br />
about 200 racks every night. The couple said playing pool<br />
has been good for more than their son&#8217;s self-esteem. It&#8217;s<br />
also helping him learn numbers and colors. </p>

<p>DELTONA, Fla. &#8211; A Florida school began classes 90 minutes<br />
late Tuesday because officials were struggling to open<br />
doors that had been glued shut by teenagers. Nancy Wait of<br />
Volusia County Public Schools said a surveillance video<br />
recorded three teenagers gluing the doors of Pine Ridge<br />
High School in Deltona shut overnight and officials are<br />
working to identify the culprits, WKMG-TV, Orlando, Fla.,<br />
reported Tuesday. Wait said the incident is not believed<br />
to have been a senior prank. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- City official wants to drop &#8216;13&#8242; ban &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>PALMERSTON NORTH, New Zealand &#8211; A local official in New<br />
Zealand says it&#8217;s time for Palmerston North to join other<br />
cities by allowing the number 13 for street addresses. &#8220;It<br />
seems absurd to me in 2009 that we still should be deciding<br />
street numbering policy or anything else on superstition,&#8221;<br />
Palmerston North City Councilor Chris Teo-Sherrell told the<br />
Dominion Post. &#8220;It&#8217;s one of those things that keeps getting<br />
turned over because nobody says `hey, that&#8217;s stupid.&#8217;&#8221; Teo-<br />
Sherrell noted that Wellington, Auckland, Hamilton and<br />
Christchurch all allow the use of the number 13 in street<br />
addresses. City policy analyst Todd Taiepa says Palmerston<br />
North&#8217;s avoidance of the number 13 for house addresses has<br />
been in place for many years because its unlucky connot-<br />
ations could put off potential home buyers, but added that<br />
residents can always apply to the council to have their<br />
number changed. &#8220;We will definitely consider allocating<br />
No 13 if anyone wants it, but we don&#8217;t expect great numbers<br />
to do that,&#8221; Taiepa told the Post. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Police: Seniors moved school furniture &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>SAN DIEGO &#8211; Police in San Diego said 13 students moved<br />
about 400 pieces of furniture out of classrooms at their<br />
high school as part of a senior prank. Investigators said<br />
the alarm company employed by San Ysidro High School<br />
contacted police at about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday and said motion<br />
sensors were going off inside the building, the San Diego<br />
Union-Tribune reported Wednesday. The school was found with<br />
desks and chairs stacked in hallways and furniture on the<br />
school&#8217;s field arranged in the shape of &#8220;09,&#8221; officers<br />
said. The students entered the school using a master key<br />
that was taken from a teacher in March, school administr-<br />
ators said. Police said the students who were 18 received<br />
citations while the younger perpetrators were released to<br />
their parents. Principal Hector Espinoza said officials<br />
have not yet decided whether the students will be barred<br />
from walking down the aisle at graduation. </p>

<p>Wedding, funeral, either way you&#8217;re burying a stiff. john<br />
[These days the stiffy is usually buried way before the<br />
wedding.]</p>
<p>Cemetery weddings are definitely not new.  Ronald Reagan and<br />
Jane Wyman got married at LA&#8217;s Forest Lawn Cemetery in 1940.<br />
 -DK</p>
<p>Lewis I have always wondered if these bizarre holidays are<br />
made up and if so who does them? I never have appreciated<br />
them and consider them phony. Just curious. -Catz<br />
[The Fed designates a lot of weird 'days' in order to pro-<br />
mote one industry or another. That's where you get things<br />
like National Chocolate Pudding Day. But the other more<br />
bizarre ones like Cuckoo Warning Day I'm not really sure.<br />
If somebody wants to do the research and let me know I'd<br />
love to hear it!]</p>
<p>Personally, I think all citizens should be required to carry<br />
handguns, provided they receive training, pass a firearm<br />
proficiency test, AND most importantly, pass an I.Q. test.<br />
Imagine the fool who walks into a bank intending to rob it,<br />
and several guns are drawn on him! -DCRooster<br />
[I know too many assholes to require EVERYone to carry a<br />

<p>You know you are in the deep south when groom John Lucas is<br />
53 and father Walter is &#8230;.52. -paul<br />
[Nope...I think that was the father and an uncle.]</p>
<p>Lewis, In response to your question regarding wedding venues,<br />
many places require police officers if alcohol will be served.<br />
In GA and SC most of the venues here require a minimum of two<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>You know you&#8217;re getting your money&#8217;s worth out of a wedding<br />
reception when the police have to arrest the groom. </p>
<p>Police in Louisiana said a groom was arrested after his<br />
nephew refused to abide by the dress code of the reception<br />
hall by pulling up his saggy pants. </p>
<p>Kenner police said the officer on detail at the Crystal<br />
Plantation during the wedding reception asked Samuel Lucas,<br />
19, to comply with the dress code &#8212; both bride and groom<br />
had to sign a contract promising to observe the dress code<br />
before using the facility &#8212; and pull his pants up higher. </p>
<p>Lucas disputed the officer&#8217;s assertion that his underwear<br />
was showing. </p>
<p>&#8220;I have beaucoup witnesses. All my cousins and everything<br />
said my pants were not sagging,&#8221; he said. </p>
<p>Lucas&#8217; father, Walter Lucas, 52, began arguing with the<br />
officer and resisted when the officer attempted to escort<br />
him out of the reception hall. Groom John Lucas, 53,<br />
allegedly grabbed the officer&#8217;s arms and tried to prevent<br />
him from retrieving handcuffs from his car. </p>
<p>The police report said Samuel Lucas shouted and cursed at<br />
the officer during the confrontation. </p>
<p>All three men were arrested on charges of disturbing the<br />
peace, while Walter Lucas was also charged with resisting<br />
an officer and the groom was charged with obstruction of<br />
police. </p>
<p>But there is one thing I am confused about&#8230;I have been<br />
to a lot of weddings and receptions in a lot of different<br />
venues, and not one of them have been staffed by police.<br />
Is this standard procedure for weddings in Louisiana? </p>
<p>Bizarrely,</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Woman, 70, skydives after heart transplant &#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>VANDALIA, Ill. &#8211; A 70-year-old Missouri woman who received<br />
a heart transplant in 2001 said she lived a lifelong dream<br />
by skydiving in Vandalia, Ill. Judy Kaufman of Chesterfield<br />
said she jumped out of a plane at 11,000 feet Sunday at the<br />
Archway Skydiving Center with her husband, two sons and<br />
grandsons looking on from the ground, the St. Louis Post-<br />
Dispatch reported Monday. &#8220;It was the most exhilarating<br />
thing I&#8217;ve ever done,&#8221; Kaufman said after her tandem jump.<br />
Kaufman, who lived with heart disease for 10 years before<br />
receiving her new heart in 2001, said she is not finished<br />
skydiving and hopes to jump with her teenage grandsons as<br />
soon as they are old enough. &#8220;People have to know that<br />
transplants give people a second chance to live,&#8221; she said.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m living for my donor. I feel it&#8217;s my obligation to do<br />
it for her and her family.&#8221; </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; More than 300 tango in Denver park &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>DENVER &#8211; Participants in an annual Argentine tango party<br />
in Denver said more than 300 people danced at the outdoor<br />
event despite rain early in the day. The event, the ninth<br />
annual gathering organized by social group Tango Colorado,<br />
celebrates Argentine tango, which evolved as an improv<br />
street dance inspired by traditional ballroom tango.<br />
Participants told The Denver Post that rains early Sunday<br />
in Denver dampened the outdoor plaza at the city&#8217;s Cheesman<br />
Park, but the skies cleared and dancers said the event<br />
went off without a hitch. Bob Stang, president of Tango<br />
Colorado, said nearly half of the people who attended<br />
Sunday&#8217;s dance traveled from out of town, and many came<br />
from far-flung states. &#8220;With tango, no matter where you<br />
go, you meet a lot of new friends. When you&#8217;re traveling,<br />
they teach you where to go, what to do and where to eat,&#8221;<br />
Stang said. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Alaska man&#8217;s beard named world&#8217;s best &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>ANCHORAGE, Alaska &#8211; A man with a beard in the shape of a<br />
snowshoe was awarded the top prize during the the 2009<br />
World Beard and Moustache Championships in Anchorage,<br />
Alaska. David Traver, 43, of Anchorage, bested 140 facial<br />
hair-wearing competitors from around the globe to win the<br />
commemorative gold pan and salmon fishing trip reserved<br />
for the man with the world&#8217;s coolest beard, the Anchorage<br />
Daily News reported Monday. Traver&#8217;s beard featured 20.5<br />
inches of facial hair dyed multiple colors and woven by<br />
beard stylist Ledjha Carson into the shape of a snowshoe.<br />
The beard champion, who also took home the top prize in<br />
the freestyle beard category, said he now plans to shave<br />
his face clean for charity. He said his beard will be<br />
shaved in the name of whoever makes the largest donation<br />
to Covenant House. However, Traver said shaving doesn&#8217;t<br />
mean he is done with facial hair. &#8220;I&#8217;ll probably grow a<br />
mustache,&#8221; he said. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Woman sets 4 1/2-hour craps record &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. &#8211; A New Jersey woman broke the world<br />
record for shooting dice by throwing the bones 154 times<br />
before she &#8220;sevened out,&#8221; casino officials said. The<br />
Borgata Hotel Casino &#038; Spa in Atlantic City said Pat<br />
DeMauro, of Morris County, bought into the craps game<br />
for $100 Saturday and held the dice for four hours and<br />
18 minutes, besting the the three-hour, six-minute world<br />
record that has stood unchallenged since May 28, 1989, The<br />
Press of Atlantic City reported Monday. DeMauro said the<br />
record-breaking game was only her second time playing<br />
craps. &#8220;I got on a roll and just kept going for about four<br />
and a half hours &#8212; and I was learning the game as I went<br />
along,&#8221; DeMauro said. &#8220;Most of the men that were there<br />
were really excited because I was bringing them good luck.&#8221;<br />
DeMauro, who declined to reveal how much money she made<br />
from the game &#8212; she said only that &#8220;it was a good night&#8221;<br />
&#8211; said Borgata officials approached her after the end of<br />
the hot streak and treated her and a friend to Dom Perignon<br />
champagne, a free meal and a complimentary stay at the<br />
hotel. Borgata spokeswoman Noel Stevenson said that while<br />
the Guinness Book of World Records does not list dice-<br />
shooting records, such accomplishments are recorded by<br />
several gaming organizations. </p>

<p>lewis, love your newsletter.  it always makes me laugh.  the<br />
bizarre holidays are interesting.   hmmm june 18&#8230; oh no!<br />
i was born on International Panic Day!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!<br />
 -aimee</p>
<p>Lewis, June 18 is International Panic Day?  Oh my God! What<br />
am I gonna do?  Quick, give me some ideas! Help me with this!<br />
What plans should I make?  Damn! -Nervous Nellie in Nevada<br />
[You should hook up with aimee...you sound like you were made<br />
for each other. Let me know how things turn out.]</p>
<p>Lewis: Here in Los Angeles there was a man named &#8220;Simon Rodia&#8221;<br />
(I may have misspelled the name) that went out in his front<br />
yard and built some towers. Beer bottles, old iron bars, junk<br />
etc but now is it a &#8220;Public Monument&#8221; and brings visitors from<br />
various places.  I know the city tried to tear down the towers<br />
but the towers were stronger than the equipment sent to tear<br />
them down. So that is the solution to my yard, it is not Junk<br />
it is &#8220;folk art&#8221;. -John Meacham<br />
[In that case my garage and basement are full of 'folk art'<br />
according to my wife.]</p>
<p>hi lewis, here in Texas they are &#8220;this close&#8221; to passing a<br />
law making it LEGAL to carry a concealed weapon on college<br />
campuses. you are the smartest man i know so i wanna know if<br />
you think this idea is as stupid as i think it is? -girliegirl<br />
[I don't know what the laws are in Texas, but in other states<br />
a person must be licensed in order to carry a gun. If you pass<br />
the background checks and the application process I don't see<br />
why a person shouldn't be allowed to carry a gun on a college<br />
campus. All of the maniacs who shoot up schools don't seem to<br />
have any compunction over bringing guns on campus.]</p>
<p>Lewis,  Just read your mail about weddings in funeral homes<br />
and cemeteries. I just thought I would mention about the<br />
Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, NY that has been doing that<br />
for years, They recently opened up a tour called Sunday in<br />
the cemetery. It is very popular.  Keep up the good work.<br />
 -Fred<br />
[I guess in a way having a wedding in a cemetery is ironically<br />
appropriate.]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>A masked man calling himself Shadow Hare says he is on a<br />
mission to make life safer for the denizens of Cincinnati. </p>
<p>Shadow Hare, who has revealed only that he is 21 years old<br />
and from Milford, Ohio, said he is part of the &#8220;Allegiance<br />
of Heroes,&#8221; a nationwide network of real-life masked crime<br />
fighters who communicate via the Internet and sometimes<br />
travel to each other&#8217;s cities for team-ups. </p>
<p>&#8220;We help enforce the law by doing what we can in legal<br />
standards, so we carry handcuffs, pepper spray &#8230; all the<br />
legal weapons,&#8221; Shadow Hare said. &#8220;We will do citizen&#8217;s<br />
arrests. We will intervene on crimes if there is one<br />
happening in front of us.&#8221; </p>
<p>Shadow Hare said the life of a costumed avenger has its<br />
risks &#8212; two years ago he suffered a dislocated shoulder<br />
while trying to help a woman who was being robbed. However,<br />
he said neither injury nor criticism will keep him from his<br />
mission to make Cincinnati a better place. </p>
<p>&#8220;My message to Cincinnati is that there is still hope and all<br />
we have to do is stand together,&#8221; he said from the Harecave<br />
in his parents&#8217; basement. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Soccer team apologizes for Klan pics &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>TORQUAY, Australia &#8211; Officials with an Australian soccer<br />
team apologized for pictures of the Ku Klux Klan that were<br />
used to promote an event called &#8220;All White Night.&#8221; John<br />
McMahon, manager of the Torquay Tigers Football Club, said<br />
the pictures of Klan members were posted on the Internet<br />
by a volunteer, a retired member of the club, without the<br />
knowledge of officials, The Age reported Thursday. McMahon<br />
said the promotional pictures for the &#8220;All White Night&#8221;<br />
event &#8212; which refers to clothing and not racial identity<br />
&#8211; were changed to Disney character Snow White and the<br />
volunteer who posted the Klan images will receive counsel-<br />
ing. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what his thought processes were,&#8221;<br />
McMahon said of the volunteer. &#8220;One person&#8217;s mistake is<br />
not a reflection of our club.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Maximum fine for nude walk in Singapore &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>SINGAPORE &#8211; A pair of university students in Singapore, a<br />
man and a woman, were each fined $1,350 for taking a walk<br />
in the nude through a commercial area. Eng Kai Er, 24, and<br />
Jan Philip, 21, were sentenced Thursday to pay the maximum<br />
fine for an obscene act after they admitted to taking a<br />
nude stroll through Holland Village on a Saturday evening<br />
in January, The Straits Times reported Thursday. Court<br />
papers said the students took the walk &#8220;to seek thrill.&#8221;<br />
William Chan, a lawyer for the duo, said the National<br />
University of Singapore students attempted to check whether<br />
public nudity was an offense before taking their walk, but<br />
they were unaware that the act is considered an obscene<br />
act under the Penal Code. Chan said the pair are exchange<br />
students and their actions may have been the result of<br />
cultural differences. &#8220;While certain things are accepted<br />
overseas, they may not be in Singapore. They are students.<br />
Perhaps they were immersed in a different culture,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Judge quotes lewd poem in ruling &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>LUTON, England &#8211; A British divorce judge ruling in a<br />
custody case quoted a famous poem about parenting that<br />
included a four-letter profanity beginning with &#8220;f.&#8221; Lord<br />
Justice Nicholas Wall said in granting custody to the<br />
mother of a 9-year-old boy &#8212; a decision that overturned<br />
a lower court&#8217;s ruling giving custody to the boy&#8217;s grand-<br />
parents &#8212; that both the mother and father had come &#8220;within<br />
a whisker&#8221; of losing their rights as parents, The Sun<br />
reported. Wall said the boy had been harmed by the parents&#8217;<br />
&#8220;ongoing mutual dislike and recriminations&#8221; toward one<br />
another after their relationship ended. The judge quoted<br />
Philip Larkin&#8217;s 1971 poem, &#8220;This Be the Verse,&#8221; saying:<br />
&#8220;They (expletive) you up, your mum and dad. They may not<br />
mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they<br />
had, and add some extra, just for you.&#8221; Wall said the<br />
quoted lines &#8220;give a clear warning to parents.&#8221; </p>

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>Hey, Lewis:  I was disappointed to see that more publicity<br />
for the President&#8217;s plane was needed.  To take a &#8220;joy ride&#8221;<br />
around New York for kicks is a HUGE waste of taxpayer&#8217;s<br />
money.  WHY, in Heaven&#8217;s name, did they DO it??<br />
[I explained it (from my viewpoint, anyway) in the last issue.<br />
The federal government wastes hundreds of billions of dollars.<br />
Hundreds of billions...thrown away. I gave a couple examples<br />
in the last issue. Three hundred thousand dollars for a couple<br />
dozen publicity photos? That isn't even a drop in the bucket.<br />
There is no accountability.]</p>
<p>Lewis: The local CBS radio affiliate here in New York reported<br />
that the Air Force said the over flight cost us taxpayers<br />
$328,000. Nice, eh? -Bob<br />
[I read that number, too. They should have given that money<br />
to me, I would have PhotoShopped some pictures for them, and<br />
with that money I could retire five years early.]</p>
<p>Hi Lewis, There is no one aircraft that is Air Force One!<br />
These 747&#8217;s are just part of the Air Force&#8217;s VIP fleet and<br />
carry normal Air Force serial numbers. It is only when the<br />
President is onboard that the aircraft becomes Air Force One!<br />
 -Geoff<br />
[That is correct. However there are two specific planes that<br />
are specifically tricked out to serve as Air Force One. I saw<br />
a special about it on The History Channel.]</p>
<p>Hi Lewis,  And the newspaper in Pittsburgh actually said<br />
Obama was &#8220;terribly distraught&#8221; when he learned of Air Force<br />
One flying so close.  But for us with a brain, unlike the<br />
masses in America, Obama is the one who authorizes Air Force<br />
One to fly.  But the Ostrich and sheep people of our country<br />
know nothing about anything, and they&#8217;re the ones who elect<br />
our leaders.. how very sad. -Alison<br />
[I have to admit, Alison, that I don't know, but it would<br />
seem unlikely that ONLY the president can authorize the plane<br />
to fly. Can you imagine if the president had to be interrupted<br />
every time they needed to do a training flight or move it<br />
around from place to place? He probably did not know about<br />
this particular little stunt.]</p>
<p>Lewis, I forward your letter to 10 of my friends that I have<br />
on a group email. I don&#8217;t know if any have signed up yet. I<br />
have a few less raunchy friends so I have to delete some of<br />
your remarks such as your current fun with Botticelli. Keep<br />
up the great work, you really make my morning. -Carole<br />
[Well, Botticelli like to paint chubby chicks...so you have<br />
to be a little bit of a chubby-chaser to get off on them.]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>Whoever said young people aren&#8217;t industrious any more? Take<br />
this young go-getter for example. Police in New Jersey said<br />
a man tricked patrons at two restaurants into giving him a<br />
total of $186 by pretending to be a waiter. </p>
<p>Investigators said a man in his 20s with a spiky hair style<br />
approached two women dining at Hobson&#8217;s Choice restaurant<br />
in Hoboken and accepted their $90 cash payment for their<br />
meal. </p>
<p>The man was next spotted at Margherita&#8217;s Pizza and Cafe at<br />
about 9 p.m. the same day and asked three women at a table<br />
if they were ready to pay. </p>
<p>&#8220;He took the money from them and walked straight out of the<br />
restaurant,&#8221; said Anthony Buzzerio, the restaurant manager. </p>
<p>Buzzerio said the restaurant was forced to comp the women&#8217;s<br />
bill. </p>
<p>&#8220;Once we saw that they had put the money on the table &#8212; we<br />
wouldn&#8217;t charge the customers twice,&#8221; he said. </p>
<p>&#8220;This is the first time I&#8217;ve come across something like this,&#8221;<br />
Buzzerio said. &#8220;Hopefully he gets what&#8217;s coming to him.&#8221; </p>
<p>Well, he got nearly 200 bucks coming to him. That&#8217;s not bad<br />
for having some balls.</p>
<p>Bizarrely,</p>
<p>Lewis</p>

<p>+&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Bizarre Sports Quotes &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;+ </p>
<p>Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson on being a role model:<br />
&#8220;I want all the kids to do what I do, to look up to me. I<br />
want all the kids to copulate me.&#8221;</p>
<p>And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the &#8216;Skins say: &#8220;I&#8217;d run<br />
over my own mother to win the Super Bowl,&#8221; Matt Millen of<br />
the Raiders said: &#8220;To win, I&#8217;d run over Joe&#8217;s Mom, too.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach: &#8220;You guys<br />
line up alphabetically by height.&#8221; And &#8220;You guys pair up<br />
in groups of three, then line up in a circle.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jim Finks, New Orleans Saints General Manager, when asked<br />
after a loss what he thought of the refs: &#8220;I&#8217;m not allowed<br />
to comment on lousy no good officiating.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lincoln Kennedy, Oakland Raiders tackle, on his decision<br />
not to vote: &#8220;I was going to write myself in, but I was<br />
afraid I&#8217;d get shot.&#8221;</p>
<p>Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player: &#8220;I<br />
told him, &#8216;Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or<br />
apathy?&#8217; He said, &#8220;Coach, I don&#8217;t know and I don&#8217;t care.&#8221;</p>
<p>Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach,<br />
John Jenkins: &#8220;He treats us like men. He lets us wear<br />
earrings.&#8221;</p>
<p>And the Gem: Oiler coach Bum Phillips when asked by Bob<br />
Costas why he takes his wife on all road trips, Phillips<br />
responded: &#8220;Because she is too damn ugly to kiss good-bye.&#8221;</p>
<p>                             ***</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Wrong turn: Scooter flagged on 70 mph road &#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>CHERITON, England &#8211; British police said an 89-year-old<br />
man took a wrong turn on his mobility scooter and wound<br />
up on a 70 mph motorway. Officers said they took the man<br />
home Tuesday after maintenance workers found him traveling<br />
8 mph on the shoulder of the M20 in Cheriton, England,<br />
the Daily Mail reported. &#8220;I could not believe it when I<br />
saw him casually driving towards us. It was frightening,<br />
but when we stopped him he was determined to carry on<br />
along the M20,&#8221; said a maintenance worker who asked not<br />
to be named. &#8220;He said he had been shopping in Cheriton,<br />
but mistakenly taken the wrong junction and ended up on<br />
the motorway.&#8221; </p>

<p>HUELVA, Spain &#8211; A Spanish real estate company is offering<br />
a free divorce lawyer as an incentive to couples who<br />
purchase three-bedroom homes in Huelva province. Officials<br />
with Geimsa realtors said the deal is aimed at couples who<br />
have been postponing divorce because they can&#8217;t afford new<br />
homes, Britain&#8217;s The Daily Telegraph reported. &#8220;A divorce<br />
is very expensive,&#8221; said Vanesa Contioso of Geimsa. &#8220;So we<br />
are offering new clients the free use of our lawyers to<br />
handle the process.&#8221; The deal applies to married couples<br />
who purchase three-bedroom homes for at least $89,000 in<br />
Huelva province. </p>

<p>POLLICA, Italy &#8211; The Italian town of Pollica will soon<br />
offer Web cam services that enable people worldwide to<br />
check on the graves of their loved ones, Mayor Angelo<br />
Vassallo said. Vassallo said because of numerous requests<br />
from tourists to be buried in the southern Italian town,<br />
the decision was made to sell tombs equipped with video<br />
and audio equipment, the Italian news agency, ANSA,<br />
reported Thursday. The mayor said the technology will<br />
include a camera that pans the town&#8217;s graveyard while<br />
offering glimpses into the area&#8217;s scenery. &#8220;We&#8217;ve decided<br />
to sell 150 tombs and, what&#8217;s more, give them the long-<br />
distance technology needed for distant relatives to<br />
commune with their dear departed,&#8221; the mayor said. &#8220;A<br />
Web cam will be operational &#8217;round the clock and there&#8217;ll<br />
also be a new sound system to give them a feel of the<br />
meditative atmosphere.&#8221; </p>

<p>BARNSTAPLE, England &#8211; A British couple said they spent<br />
three hours in makeup before their wedding so they could<br />
walk down the aisle as characters from the &#8220;Shrek&#8221; films.<br />
Christine England, 40, and Keith Green, 44, of Barnstaple,<br />
England, used green paint and costumes to turn themselves<br />
into Princess Fiona and Shrek while guests at the wedding<br />
dressed as other characters from the animated films,<br />
including Donkey and the Gingerbread Man, the Daily Mail<br />
reported Thursday. &#8220;Every girl wants a fairytale wedding<br />
and I got one &#8212; with a bit of a twist. It was a real<br />
laugh,&#8221; England said. &#8220;The idea just came to me. I knew<br />
what we would go as them because Keith looks just like<br />
Shrek.&#8221; The couple said they hired a makeup artist to<br />
design their wedding getup. &#8220;It was a very strange<br />
experience to say the least, but a thoroughly enjoyable<br />
one. We love the films and my wife tells me I have<br />
resemblance to Shrek,&#8221; Green said. </p>

<p>The Bromsgrove, England woman who complained about her<br />
neighbor&#8217;s naked lawn gnomes would never survive in Oslo,<br />
Norway.  There are statues of naked people all over Oslo.<br />
 &#8211;Harold<br />
[I'd be more impressed if there were just naked people<br />
all over Oslo. I happen to think Norwegian women are hot.]</p>
<p>The Extreme Hand Boxing was unimaginable stupidity. I bet<br />
they were brain dead before they even started.</p>
<p>Lewis: The woman in England needs to get 2 more gnome<br />
statues. The one of the male and female nude gnomes having<br />
sex, and the one of the gnome standing there giving the<br />
finger. (That one should be pointed at the pain in the ass<br />
neighbor&#8217;s house.) Besides, kids are like most of us and<br />
think garden gnomes are kind of ugly, and ignore them.<br />
(yes both statues are available.) -Bill<br />
[Hey! There's a difference between art and porn...I'm just<br />
not sure what it is. But there's a difference!]</p>
<p>Lewis, yes I had an &#8220;office&#8221; romance 26 1/2 years ago, and<br />
we recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary.  They<br />
don&#8217;t all work out this way, but, I figure if you start<br />
dating someone that you&#8217;ve worked with for awhile, at least<br />
you know they don&#8217;t mind working and contributing to the<br />
financial side of a marraige. -Bob<br />
[That is as good a basis to start a relationship on as any,<br />
I guess.]</p>
<p>I have been a Bizarre News subscriber for many years. It<br />
was always a bright spot in my inbox at the office. I retired<br />
at the end of 2008 so now I get BN at home. The first thing<br />
I did upon retiring was get thyroid cancer. While recovering<br />
from surgery (successful, thank you very much) I still look<br />
forward to my regular dose of BN. Keep the good times comin&#8217;<br />
and thanks for all the laughs. You do make a difference.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>Everybody knows the economy is in the toilet right now and<br />
unemployment numbers have been creeping up. But if you are<br />
looking to pad your resume with a little bit of variety in<br />
your work history you might want to listen to this young<br />
man who recently got fed up with the job market. </p>
<p>A University of Southern California graduate says he is in<br />
week 30 of his effort to work 50 jobs in 50 states within<br />
the span of 50 weeks. </p>
<p>Daniel Seddiqui, 27, said he conceived of his job-hopping<br />
scheme after becoming frustrated with trying to find em-<br />
ployment in the current job market. </p>
<p>&#8220;I was just tired of employers telling me to call in three<br />
weeks,&#8221; he said. </p>
<p>Seddiqui said his jobs so far have included caring for race-<br />
horses in Kentucky, coordinating weddings in Las Vegas,<br />
working pit crew for Panther Racing in Indianapolis and as<br />
a border patrol agent in Arizona. This week he is working<br />
at recording studio Sound Kitchen in Nashville. </p>
<p>&#8220;This was my dream,&#8221; Seddiqui said. &#8220;I wanted to go to every<br />
state. As a kid, I stared at maps and I still do. Now, I&#8217;m<br />
doing this in real life, even though it&#8217;s the hardest time<br />
to find jobs.&#8221; </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Official says honorary toilet a bit much &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>GNOSJO, Sweden &#8211; An official in the Swedish town of Gnosjo<br />
says a municipality tradition of honoring an employee&#8217;s<br />
25 years of service went too far with a toilet purchase.<br />
Stefan Nilsson, Gnosjo human resources head, said the town<br />
should change its practice of allowing employees to choose<br />
any item worth as much as the traditional gold watch in<br />
honor of 25 years of faithful service, The Local said<br />
Friday. &#8220;I, and many like me, think that the purpose (of<br />
the loose policy) has gotten a little out of hand,&#8221; Nilsson<br />
said. The local official was reacting to an unidentified<br />
Gnosjo employee&#8217;s decision to purchase a new toilet for<br />
himself on his employment anniversary. For Nilsson, the<br />
concept of a loyal employee thinking of Gnosjo while using<br />
the bathroom item is not a palatable idea. &#8220;A memorial<br />
gift should be something you remember,&#8221; he told the Local.<br />
&#8220;Is someone supposed to sit on a new toilet and think back<br />
on their years with Gnosjo municipality?&#8221; For future<br />
honorary gifts, Nilsson suggests necklaces, bracelets or<br />
even a nice crystal vase. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Ga. city reverses karaoke ban &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>LILBURN, Ga. &#8211; An Atlanta suburb has brought back karaoke,<br />
allowing restaurants once more to lure customers with<br />
sing-alongs, darts, pool and trivia contests. The Lilburn<br />
council banned &#8220;interactive entertainment&#8221; at establish-<br />
ments that serve alcohol two years ago. The action came<br />
amidst a controversy over a specific restaurant, which has<br />
since closed. &#8220;Lilburn has matured, and we want to keep<br />
it vibrant,&#8221; Mayor Diana Preston told The Atlanta Journal<br />
Constitution. &#8220;Our focus is keeping our business community<br />
strong and that means a diversity of businesses.&#8221; The<br />
council revised its liquor law again Tuesday. Bob Carmen,<br />
owner of the Oyster Barn Grill &#038; Bar said he thought the<br />
ban was &#8220;provincial.&#8221; But he said he does not plan to<br />
bring back the karaoke machines and other entertainment<br />
paraphernalia that the previous owner removed in 2007.<br />
Instead he says his focus is to lure customers with his<br />
food. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Woman, 86, made burglary suspect cry &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>TREHARRIS, Wales &#8211; Police in Wales said an 86-year-old<br />
woman used her metal crutch to beat a 26-year-old burglary<br />
suspect to tears and forced him to sit and wait for<br />
officers. Gwyneth Davies, who is recovering from pneumonia,<br />
broken ribs and a hip fracture, told police she was on her<br />
way to bed when she discovered the man in her kitchen, The<br />
Sun reported. Davies said she struck the man four times<br />
with her metal crutch and ordered him to sit on a stool<br />
in her kitchen while she called the authorities. &#8220;I lashed<br />
out. He was bent over the worktop pretending to cry,&#8221;<br />
Davies said. &#8220;It was better than going to the pictures.<br />
The police arrived and asked if I was all right. I said,<br />
&#8216;You&#8217;re asking the wrong one!&#8217;&#8221; Detective Constable Justin<br />
Noble said police officers were impressed with Davies.<br />
&#8220;She&#8217;s my new heroine,&#8221; he said. The suspect was arrested<br />
and charged with burglary. </p>

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>Office romances aren&#8217;t just for the young. At the last place<br />
I worked at there are a couple of women &#8220;in their 40s&#8221; (that<br />
I commonly refer to as bar hounds), that do their best to<br />
keep guys morals up &#8220;as well as other things&#8221;. I worked in<br />
assembly maintenance on nights and we kept the oil for the<br />
ATV transmissions on the north mezzanine. It got to the point<br />
to where I was hesitant to grab another tote of oil for the<br />
temporary blindness I might suffer. No doubt something TZ<br />
would jump at but some of us do have standards&#8230;..lol<br />
[Mmmm...when I think of hot, steamy sex the first thing I<br />
think of is transmission oil.]</p>
<p>This is a great question of: Why can&#8217;t everyone drive golf<br />
carts? The real question we should be asking is: Why doesn&#8217;t<br />
everyone drive golf carts? If we can solve that problem<br />
instead of laying on the guilt trip maybe something will<br />
change. As my coworker just said, &#8220;Stop talking about<br />
problems and start talking about solutions.&#8221; -John<br />
[If you're not part of the solution you're part of the<br />
problem. How long have you been driving your golf cart?]</p>
<p>Feed the girl meat &#8211; explains why my home made but tasty<br />
biscotti failed with the gal at work. -Steve.<br />
[Try slipping her your canoli.]</p>
<p>Lewis, if meat doesn&#8217;t work, try spicing up your sex life<br />
with some biting.  My husband LOVES when I bite him, a<br />
little pain&#8230;..a quick response, he&#8217;s ready to play!  I<br />
discovered this unusual reaction by accident, I was trying<br />
to be mean, retaliating for a lost wrestling match. SCHWING!<br />
Now it&#8217;s a useful tool. -Kris<br />
[Wow! Thanks for that little peak into your bedroom, or<br />
private dungeon, or wherever that stuff takes place. How<br />
does your husband explain the bite marks all over his body?]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>Imagine there is a girl you&#8217;re sweet on. You know her, she<br />
is in your circle of friends and acquaintances. You&#8217;d really<br />
like to me MORE than just friends, so you decide to prepare<br />
a meal for her. You bring it over to her, maybe you even<br />
share it together. She&#8217;s impressed. Bing! The next thing you<br />
know you&#8217;re rolling around having monkey sex. Literally. </p>
<p>The scenario I just described to you has been observed in a<br />
group of about 20 adult chimpanzees in Cote d&#8217;Ivoire&#8217;s Tai<br />
National Park in West Africa. </p>
<p>By stealthily following the troop, behavioral ecologists<br />
Cristina Gomes and Christophe Boesch of Max Planck Institute<br />
for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany carefully noted<br />
which male chimpanzees copulated with which females. The<br />
researchers found that she-chimps put out more often for<br />
males that shared food with them at least once, compared to<br />
stingy males who never offered meat.</p>
<p>Chimpanzees are known to hunt regularly, said Gomes, and<br />
earlier field studies showed males shared meat with females,<br />
but until now the scientists were at a loss to explain<br />
exactly what they got in return for this.</p>
<p>Now, by studying females in active and inactive phases of<br />
their mating cycles, the researchers have shown that males<br />
develop long-term partnerships with various females. In<br />
these partnerships, the males continuously provide morsels<br />
of meat to the females, who in turn mate with them during<br />
sexually active phases of their cycles.</p>
<p>Apparently what is true for humans is true for chimpanzees,<br />
once you start regularly providing for a woman you&#8217;re stuck<br />
with for the rest of your life. </p>
<p>The new observations &#8220;indicate that wild chimpanzees exchange<br />
meat for sex, so that sharing meat with females improves a<br />
male&#8217;s mating success and a female&#8217;s meat intake,&#8221; said Gomes,<br />
in what we can only assume is a German attempt at sexual humor. </p>
<p>Bizarrely,</p>
<p>Lewis</p>

taken out of context.&#8221; Joseph Loflin of Texas City said he<br />
confronted his neighbor, Michael Rainey, after discovering<br />
cat feces on his lawn, KPRC-TV, Houston, reported Tuesday.<br />
&#8220;&#8216;Your cat has been back there defecating in my back<br />
yard,&#8217;&#8221; Loflin said he told his neighbor. &#8220;I used the slang<br />
word, the four-letter word to describe what the cat was<br />
doing.&#8221; Rainey said his 13-year-old daughter was within<br />
earshot of the conversation. &#8220;I said, &#8216;Look, I&#8217;ve asked<br />
you twice. This is the third time. Don&#8217;t use that language<br />
in front of my daughter,&#8217;&#8221; Rainey said he told Loflin.<br />
&#8220;That&#8217;s when he responded, &#8216;There&#8217;s nothing wrong with the<br />
word, and if I want to use the word, I&#8217;ll use the word.&#8217;&#8221;<br />
Loflin, who is due in court April 22 on a disorderly<br />
conduct citation, said the charge was an overreaction.<br />
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t call him a filthy name,&#8221; Loflin said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t<br />
call him&#8230; I didn&#8217;t use any profanity towards him. I used<br />
it as a noun, then I used it as an adverb to describe what<br />
his cat was doing. I think it was greatly taken out of<br />
context.&#8221; </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Woman sues over senior center ban &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>MONROE, Wis. &#8211; A 78-year-old woman who was banned from<br />
a Monroe, Wis., senior center said she is suing to be<br />
allowed back into the facility. Edith Milestone, 78,<br />
alleges in her lawsuit against the city-owned Behring<br />
Senior Center that it violated her free speech rights in<br />
October by kicking her out for complaining about how a<br />
card game was being scored, the (Madison) Wisconsin State<br />
Journal reported Monday. The suit also alleges that the<br />
center&#8217;s code of conduct is too broad and vague. Center<br />
Director Tammy Derrickson said in an Oct. 24 letter to<br />
Milestone that she was being banned from the center<br />
because she was disrespectful toward other members and<br />
used abusive language. The letter also said the senior<br />
citizen engaged in physically threatening conduct. &#8220;I<br />
regret that I was forced to take this action, but feel<br />
you have left me with no other choice,&#8221; Derrickson wrote.<br />
The letter said the banning stemmed from the Oct. 23 card<br />
game as well as &#8220;numerous other incidents.&#8221; The lawsuit<br />
is seeking compensation and an end to the current code of<br />
conduct for the center. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Epileptic emu farmer frets over windmills &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>GULLIVERS COVE, Nova Scotia &#8211; A Canadian emu farmer in<br />
northwestern Nova Scotia said he is concerned a proposed<br />
windmill nearby will kill his birds or trigger his<br />
epileptic seizures. Davey and Debi VanTassel run the<br />
Ocean Breeze Emu Farm in Gullivers Cove, and told The<br />
Chronicle-Herald newspaper in Halifax one of 20 proposed<br />
wind turbines will be about a half mile from their<br />
property. The couple said emus have been known to die from<br />
noise and vibration. They said a test mill erected last<br />
year in the county drove coyotes from the area to their<br />
farm, where five emus were killed this winter. Debi<br />
VanTassel told a recent community meeting she feared for<br />
her husband&#8217;s health, as the flickering of sunlight through<br />
the windmill&#8217;s blades could trigger epileptic seizures.<br />
She said they avoid dances where strobe lights are used<br />
and they have no wallpaper in their home, as patterns can<br />
trigger a seizure, the report said. Their town is consider-<br />
ing a proposal to erect 20 turbine towers with an output<br />
of 30 megawatts, the newspaper said. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Public library bans offensive body odor &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>CHICAGO &#8211; The director of a public library in Schaumburg,<br />
Ill., says her facility will not admit visitors whose<br />
personal body odor interferes with others&#8217; activities.<br />
Schaumburg Township District Library Director Stephanie<br />
Sarnoff said the decision to add offensive body odors to<br />
the library&#8217;s list of prohibitions was based on complaints<br />
from library guests regarding a homeless person, the<br />
Chicago Tribune said Monday. &#8220;People who use libraries are<br />
usually very understanding about the foibles of others,&#8221;<br />
she said. &#8220;So when one or more library users complain that<br />
another person&#8217;s hygiene is of such poor quality that it<br />
is prohibiting them from pursuing what they want to do,<br />
their problem becomes our problem.&#8221; But advocates for the<br />
homeless maintain those without homes are hard pressed to<br />
remain clean and odor free. &#8220;I really can&#8217;t think of any<br />
cases where I&#8217;ve met someone who says, &#8216;I like the fact<br />
that I smell,&#8217;&#8221; Todd Stull, who heads up a  HOPE Center<br />
in Palatine, Ill., told the Tribune. &#8220;It really is a fact<br />
of not enough money and not enough places willing to help<br />
them stay clean. They sort of become these victims of<br />
circumstance.&#8221; </p>

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>As far as office romances go, I met and married the office<br />
receptionist back in &#8216;75.  The kids are now 28 and 30.<br />
 -Al in NV.<br />
[That's what I call a success story.]</p>
<p>Dear Lewis: I had an office romance that lasted 18 years!<br />
He was the (married) love of my life.  At first it was<br />
just sex.. but over the years we grew to be best friends<br />
and lovers and it was wonderful.  You can be very creative<br />
when finding places to make love.  One time I&#8217;m reminded<br />
of was in his car in the parking lot of a restaurant.<br />
Sound boring?  The police car parked next to us seemed to<br />
be VERY interested in what we were doing!  I had to hold<br />
very still and they thought he was alone in the car while<br />
my head was buried in his lap.  Close calls, but sweet<br />
memories! -Patty<br />
[It is not my job to say whether giving head to another<br />
woman's husband in the parking lot of a restaurant should<br />
be considered a 'sweet memory' or not, but I have to applaud<br />
your bravery in telling that story...not to mention pulling<br />
it off for 18 years!]</p>
<p>An ant can carry 10 times it&#8217;s body weight. Why is it<br />
humans have to build a steel machine 10 times as big and<br />
heavy as the person just to carry them back and forth to<br />
work. Seems to me someone could build a fully enclosed golf-<br />
cart looking 1 or 2 seat vehicle, throw in a radio and AC.<br />
Have it run 45 or 50 mph and get 100 miles to the gallon.<br />
[Such vehicles exist. All you have to do is get people to<br />
buy them. Of course, a little golf cart won't service a<br />
family of five or six...or haul anything more than one or<br />
two people, or perform very well in snow, but in all other<br />
circumstances, I don't see why not.]</p>
<p>Every single one of your stories are Wonderful.  The BESTEST<br />
and BIZZARESTEST!  I Love it.  I will just keep reading and<br />
even writing about it every chance I get. Very Much Love to<br />
you, and, THANK YOU <img src='http://bizarrenews.gophercentral.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  -Wendy<br />
[It's hard to argue with that!]</p>
<p>Lewis, In all the info I have seen about global warming,<br />
people talk and talk about the effects of the pollutants<br />
from cars. Has anyone considered how much heat is being<br />
stored by the millions of miles of roadway. How much co2<br />
is staying in the air because we destroy all these plants<br />
which take in CO2 and convert it back to oxygen with new<br />
paving projects? What about the effects of building all<br />
these new buildings and parking areas? Maybe what we need<br />
isn&#8217;t a new tech to replace cars with, maybe we just need<br />
fewer roads and more parks. -Joanthan<br />
[If I were going to be concerned about that I would be more<br />
concerned with the destruction of millions of acres of<br />
forests per year in South America and Africa over the con-<br />
struction of a few roads and parking lots in the U.S.]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>Nobody really wins in this story, but the lesson to come<br />
away with is never insult a man&#8217;s girlfriend&#8217;s mother when<br />
you&#8217;re drinking in a pub in Ireland&#8230;unless, of course,<br />
you either want to get your hand chopped off or get punched<br />
in the face with a bloody stub. </p>
<p>28-year-old Charles Russell of Dublin was remanded in custody<br />
pending sentence after pleading guilty to recklessly causing<br />
Peter Rogers serious harm at The Deputy Mayor Pub. </p>
<p>Apparently Rogers had said something insulting to Russell&#8217;s<br />
girlfriend&#8217;s mother which led to the attack. </p>
<p>The detective in charge said that Mr. Rogers had been in the<br />
pub with a number of friends that day when he heard someone<br />
shout, &#8220;there&#8217;s the c**t&#8221; before he was struck from behind<br />
with a hammer. This blow came from Russell&#8217;s friend who was<br />
then wrestled away by bar staff. </p>
<p>Russell then stepped up and swung a samurai sword at Rogers,<br />
severing his hand. The victim later reported that he did not<br />
notice that he lost his hand, which must have been due to<br />
shock or the 15 pints of Guinness he had been drinking. </p>
<p>Rogers struggled with Russell and at one stage punched the<br />
accused in the face with the stump of his arm. He was finally<br />
restrained by the bar manager but managed to escape and fled<br />
the scene. </p>
<p>A customer picked up the hand and placed it in ice. The victim<br />
was taken to the hospital where he underwent emergency surgery<br />
to re-attach his hand. Ta da! </p>
<p>Bizarrely,</p>
<p>Lewis</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; KFC set to fill up potholes and stomachs &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>LOUISVILLE, Ky. &#8211; Kentucky Fried Chicken says it will move<br />
beyond filling up patrons&#8217; stomachs, by providing pothole<br />
repair for residents of Louisville, Ky. The fast-food chain<br />
has offered to fill up potholes throughout Louisville in<br />
return for the right to stamp the newly repaired road<br />
hazards with the stencil slogan, &#8220;Re-freshed by KFC,&#8221;<br />
Advertising Age reported. &#8220;This program is a perfect<br />
example of that rare and optimal occurrence when a company<br />
can creatively market itself and help local governments<br />
and everyday Americans across the country,&#8221; said Javier<br />
Benito, KFC executive vice president of marketing and food<br />
innovation. Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson appeared ready<br />
to support the KFC proposal given the budgetary constraints<br />
facing many U.S. cities. &#8220;It&#8217;s great to have a concerned<br />
corporation like KFC create innovative private/public<br />
partnerships like this pothole refresh program,&#8221; the mayor<br />
said in a statement. </p>

<p>CHELSEA, Mass. &#8211; Police in Chelsea, Mass., say a bank<br />
robbery suspect was apprehended after being identified by<br />
her orange fingernail polish. A witness said the woman<br />
who made off with $450 in cash from the Sovereign Bank<br />
Wednesday had nails coated with a bright burnt orange<br />
fingernail polish, The Boston Globe reported. The robber<br />
presented a note demanding money to a teller and left the<br />
scene after the bank employee complied, police said. Thanks<br />
to another witness who wrote down the license plate number<br />
of the fleeing robber&#8217;s vehicle, police quickly located<br />
their suspect. After tracing the license plate and locating<br />
the accompanying vehicle, police found their suspect,<br />
Margaret Christie, and her flashy fingernails, the Globe<br />
said. </p>

<p>LAS VEGAS &#8211; Geographers have mapped the sinfulness of the<br />
United States, attempting to come up with numbers for each<br />
of the seven deadly sins. Thomas Vought and colleagues<br />
at Kansas State University devised indexes for sloth,<br />
gluttony, lust, greed, wrath, envy and pride, The Las Vegas<br />
Sun reported. Sloth was based on spending per capita on<br />
arts and entertainment compared to the employment rate;<br />
gluttony on fast-food outlets per capita; lust on rates of<br />
sexually transmitted disease; greed on average incomes<br />
compared to the number of people living below the poverty<br />
line; wrath on violent crimes per capita; and envy on<br />
property crimes. The researchers decided that pride is the<br />
master sin and therefore merged the rates of the lesser<br />
sins. Vought presented the findings at the American<br />
Geographers&#8217; meeting Tuesday in Las Vegas, a city some-<br />
times regarded as the sin capital of the United States.<br />
The researchers said the Las Vegas area, Clark County,<br />
beats the rest of Nevada in most sins but ranks third<br />
behind southern gambling centers like Biloxi, Miss., in<br />
pride. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Tennessee could ban saggy pants &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>NASHVILLE &#8211; A bill that would ban low-riding trousers that<br />
expose the wearer&#8217;s boxers or briefs in the state of<br />
Tennessee has won approval from a legislative subcommittee.<br />
House Bill 2099, known as the &#8220;Saggy Pants Bill,&#8221; would<br />
impose fines of up to $1,000 on violators, The Memphis<br />
Commercial Appeal reported. The money would be dedicated<br />
to the purchase of school supplies, including books and<br />
sports equipment. Rep. Karen Camper, a Democrat from<br />
Memphis, accused her colleagues, including Rep. Joe Towns,<br />
a Memphis Democrat who sponsored the bill, of &#8220;trying to<br />
legislate fashion.&#8221; She said teens would get misdemeanor<br />
records needlessly. &#8220;My question to you Mr. Towns is:<br />
What is the demographics you are targeting with this<br />
legislation?&#8221; she asked. Towns responded angrily that white<br />
and Hispanic teens as well as blacks have been known to<br />
expose their underwear. &#8220;It has nothing to do with<br />
fashion,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It has to do with decency and hygiene.&#8221;<br />
The bill, approved by subcommittee Wednesday, now goes to<br />
the House Judiciary Committee. </p>

<p>Actually, the problem is this question:  Why are we giving<br />
OUR money to ANY bank so that they can LOAN it BACK to US<br />
at INTEREST?  Me GIVING you a dime so that you can LOAN me<br />
a dime and then me &#8220;re-paying&#8221; your dime plus a penny seems<br />
VERY foolish to me.  And yet, that is exactly what we&#8217;re<br />
doing with these &#8220;bailouts&#8221;! -Tom<br />
[Good point. The only people getting screwed here is the<br />
American tax-payer!]</p>
<p>Lewis, this woman must be a saint to care this much for her<br />
horse &#8211; most people would&#8217;ve just put the poor animal out<br />
of its misery. A lot of pet owners &#8211; myself included &#8211; will<br />
spend hundreds of dollars trying to save a beloved pet, but<br />
think how much daily effort and money she must be investing.<br />
Or she may be independently wealthy&#8230; and have lackeys&#8230;<br />
never mind. <img src='http://bizarrenews.gophercentral.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  yours in bizarreness, Gretchen<br />
[Another thing to consider is that you can sell horse meat.<br />
You can't do that with a dog.]</p>
<p>Hi Lewis, As a former resident of UT, I am familiar with<br />
their liquor laws. The membership fees are a hassle and an<br />
annoyance, but not bad enough that people will leave the<br />
state just to go to the bar. People do cross state lines<br />
to buy booze for home consumption. Sometimes, you just want<br />
&#8220;real&#8221; beer. (The state liquor stores do have beer that is<br />
stronger than 3.2 percent) Best, Kyle<br />
[They won't be dealing with that any longer. So much for the<br />
boot-legging industry in Utah.]</p>
<p>In regard&#8217;s to Lance&#8217;s comment &#8220;$12 a year for a membership?<br />
Driving to Colorado to avoid paying the membership fee?<br />
Who&#8217;s the fool here?&#8221;  We are talking about a state who&#8217;s<br />
top industry is tourism.  I skiied Utah once, it was awesome,<br />
but the difficulty in having a varied nightlife due to their<br />
insane laws makes me choose Colorado for future destinations.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>It looks like Utah is finally coming into the 21st century,<br />
and it only took a global recession to do it! After more<br />
than 40 years, some of the strictest &#8211; and most bizarre &#8211;<br />
liquor laws in the nation are being hustled out the barroom<br />
door, yet another sign that even a state dominated by tee-<br />
totaling Mormons is willing to reconsider decades-old mores<br />
if it helps the economy.</p>
<p>No longer will bartenders be separated from customers by a<br />
glass partition known as a &#8220;Zion Curtain.&#8221; And patrons won&#8217;t<br />
have to join a social club or pay a membership fee before<br />
entering bars.</p>
<p>&#8220;Having to pay $5 or $10 to join a club to drink any kind<br />
of alcoholic beverage is absurd,&#8221; said Mark Caraway, a San<br />
Diego businessman who travels to Salt Lake City at least<br />
once a month.</p>
<p>Tourists frequently leave bars and restaurants here after<br />
becoming flummoxed at what it takes to get a drink. And the<br />
state&#8217;s tourism industry has frequently complained that the<br />
liquor laws send lucrative conventions and skiers fleeing<br />
to neighboring Colorado.</p>
<p>While not technically requiring a license, Utah does require<br />
anyone entering a bar to be a member of the club or a<br />
member&#8217;s guest. At most bars, anyone can become a member by<br />
paying a state-ordered fee for a three-week pass that costs<br />
at least $4. An annual membership costs at least $12. And a<br />
separate membership is required at each bar.</p>
<p>If anything, some locals say eliminating the membership<br />
requirement will spare them from sitting out in the cold<br />
waiting for friends to sponsor them, and it should free up<br />
more money. </p>
<p>Bizarrely,</p>
<p>Lewis</p>

<p>+&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Bizarre Sex Laws &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;+</p>
<p>In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with<br />
animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual<br />
relations with a male animal is punishable by death. </p>
<p>In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman&#8217;s<br />
genitals, but is forbidden from looking directly at them<br />
during the examination. He may only see their reflection<br />
in a mirror. </p>
<p>The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.</p>
<p>There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel<br />
the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them<br />
for the privilege of having sex for the first time.<br />
Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for<br />
virgins to marry. </p>
<p>In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill<br />
her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare<br />
hands. (The husband&#8217;s lover, on the other hand, may be<br />
killed in any manner desired.) </p>
<p>In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her<br />
husband, and the first time this happens her mother must<br />
be in the room to witness the act. </p>
<p>In Santa Cruz, Bolivia it is illegal for a man to have<br />
sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Police: Robbers robbed while fleeing &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>MILWAUKEE, Wash. &#8211; Milwaukee police said a pair of unlucky<br />
alleged robbers were targeted by another group of thieves<br />
as they fled from a jewelry store. Lt. Thomas Welch said<br />
two men, ages 31 and 40, took money and jewelry from the<br />
store on the south side of the city at about 10:50 a.m.<br />
Wednesday while armed with at least one handgun, and were<br />
confronted by a group of four men as they attempted to<br />
flee, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. Welch said<br />
the four men robbed the two original robbers, sparking a<br />
fight that turned into a car chase. He said the two men<br />
who allegedly robbed the jewelry store and two men from<br />
the second group, ages 22 and 27, were arrested. The money<br />
and jewelry were not recovered and police were searching<br />
for additional suspects. He said investigators were look-<br />
ing into whether the two groups of men knew each other<br />
prior to the incident. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Last laugh: Woman cut daughters from will &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>OLDHAM, England &#8211; A British woman whose daughters tried to<br />
have her evicted in the 1990s cut her offspring out of her<br />
will, leaving her entire $30,000 to a local hospice. Megan<br />
Swanston, who died in December at age 85, became embroiled<br />
in a family conflict when her three daughters attempted to<br />
have her evicted from her Oldham, England, home in 1994,<br />
The Daily Mail reported. The house had been bequeathed to<br />
Swanston&#8217;s daughters by their paternal grandfather when he<br />
died in 1973 but Swanston claimed her children had promised<br />
to let her live out her days in the home. After a two-year<br />
legal battle, the matter was settled out of court with the<br />
house sold to a property company, with the stipulation that<br />
Swanston be allowed to remain the sitting tenant the news-<br />
paper said. However, Swanston and her daughters never<br />
mended their relationship and it was revealed after her<br />
Dec. 4 death that she had cut her daughters out of her<br />
will, The Daily Mail said. The document stated that she<br />
didn&#8217;t want any of her money going to the trio because of<br />
the way they had treated her. Swanston&#8217;s money instead went<br />
to Dr. Kershaw&#8217;s Hospice in Oldham. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Strip club plans job fair &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>PROVIDENCE, R.I. &#8211; The office manager of a Rhode Island<br />
strip club says bosses are hoping the state&#8217;s unemployment<br />
rate will help them draw in new employees. Lori Savickas,<br />
office manager of the Foxy Lady strip club in Providence,<br />
said the business is holding a job fair Saturday with an<br />
aim to hire 25 people for positions as dancers, managers,<br />
DJs, bouncers and bartenders, the Providence Journal<br />
reported Friday. Savickas said the state&#8217;s high unemploy-<br />
ment rate &#8212; more than 10 percent &#8212; could lead more people<br />
to consider jobs in adult entertainment. &#8220;With the way<br />
unemployment is right now, there are a lot of people look-<br />
ing for a job who normally wouldn&#8217;t come to the Foxy Lady,&#8221;<br />
Savickas said. &#8220;They&#8217;re just hungry to start working some-<br />
where. They might find out that it is totally different<br />
than they expected.&#8221; She said bosses are hoping the<br />
infusion of new blood into the club will help draw in<br />
customers who are being more conservative with their<br />
spending in light of the economic recession. &#8220;Everyone<br />
is choosy right now about where they spend their money<br />
because they don&#8217;t have the money to spend,&#8221; Savickas<br />
said. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Speeder fined despite sneezing defense &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>DEREHAM, England &#8211; A former police officer must pay a<br />
fine for speeding on his motorcycle despite claiming his<br />
actions were caused by a sneeze, a British magistrate says.<br />
Magistrate Margaret Oechsle fined Donald Johnstone, 62,<br />
$223 for going 10 miles above the speed limit in a 30 mph<br />
zone in the county of Norfolk last May, The Mirror said.<br />
&#8220;You accept your speed increased and with any speed over<br />
31 mph our sentencing guidelines come into play,&#8221; said<br />
Oechsle, who also hit Johnstone with $167 in court costs.<br />
Johnstone had tried to explain away his speeding<br />
indiscretion by blaming it on a fit of sneezing he endured<br />
while motorcycling. &#8220;My sneezes tend to be extremely<br />
violent,&#8221; he told the court. &#8220;And I accept that my speed<br />
must have increased because of the movement of my hands.&#8221;<br />
The Mirror said just in case his sneezing defense fell<br />
short, Johnstone also claimed the camera that caught him<br />
speeding wasn&#8217;t set at the right angle. </p>

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>Lewis, You nailed it on the head!  I don&#8217;t mind helping out<br />
the people who deserve the help.  The ones I&#8217;m complaining<br />
about are the ones that are being foreclosed on with two<br />
brand new cars in the driveway, 52&#8243; HDTV, all the latest<br />
gadgets (you get the idea) and bought a home that a<br />
reasonable budget wouldn&#8217;t cover because the Jones&#8217; home<br />
was 3 square feet smaller.  </p>
<p>That has got to be the most disgusting thing I have ever<br />
seen! I&#8217;m tempted to go take a scalding hot shower! -Patty<br />
[I know what you mean, Patty, but it wouldn't help much.]</p>
<p>I can just see bringing your wife along and she can pig out<br />
at the buffet while you get laid, yeah right.  Good way to<br />
get killed. -squaredancer<br />
[Depends on how liberal your wife is. We are talking about<br />
Germany, here.]</p>
<p>In 1999, the housing industry (Fannie Mae) was forced to<br />
lower their loan requirements, thus allowing more sub-prime<br />
borrowers to acquire a home.  This was clearly not a smart<br />
move, like a time bomb, this bad piece of economic drivel<br />
would grow and mushroom during following administrations.<br />
Some simple research reveals who the author of this fiasco<br />
is, and several articles were written at the time that<br />
state clearly this could harm the economy down the road.<br />
But it sure made a lot of people happy at the time!  These<br />
same home buyers are now crying the blues, and the rest of<br />
us will suffer for the sub-prime lending habits. -Kris </p>
<p>Originally I thought that video was a spoof on the cult<br />
classic &#8216;Reefer Madness&#8217; . It was the term &#8216;420&#8242; that made<br />
me think this, but we did some research and found that the<br />
term &#8216;420&#8242; actually originated in 1971. It was a term used<br />
by a group of kids that would meet at a statue after<br />
detention in high school.  Either way, if they would just<br />
legalize it they could start to pull this country out of<br />
the recession. Think about it. -Dave<br />
[I have a similar feeling. I did a column last year on the<br />
whole hemp controversy. It seems foolish, hypocritical and<br />
wasteful to me.]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>They know how to grow up &#8216;em in Maryland, as evidenced by<br />
their 2008 Miss Outdoors winner. This is not some vapid<br />
beauty contest for bubble-headed teenagers. No, Maryland&#8217;s<br />
Miss Outdoors has to display some real talents, like muskrat<br />
skinning. </p>
<p>The key to successful muskrat skinning is a very sharp knife<br />
the outgoing Miss Outdoors, Dakota Abbott, said. 17-year-old<br />
Dakota, who won the Miss Outdoors title in 2008, earned $100<br />
and a set of muskrat traps by winning the women&#8217;s junior<br />
championship trophy in a muskrat-skinning contest last week-<br />
end. </p>
<p>The tradition of Miss Outdoors competitions and muskrat<br />
skinning began in 2003 when contestant Tiffany Brittingham<br />
donned a sharp knife, along with jewelry and makeup to show<br />
off her skinning skills. There is an image for you. </p>
<p>This year&#8217;s competition even included a contestant who<br />
scalded a large chicken before plucking the feathers from<br />
the bird. </p>
<p>But once the judges&#8217; votes were tallied in this year&#8217;s Miss<br />
Outdoors event, Abbigail Tyler was victorious &#8212; thanks to<br />
her singing performance of &#8220;Red High Heels.&#8221; </p>
<p>Emcee Buddy Foxwell had one unusual pageant request for all<br />
contestants, &#8220;All contestants are reminded to take your<br />
carcasses home with you.&#8221; </p>
<p>Bizarrely,</p>
<p>Lewis</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Two charged with gorilla head theft &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>APPLETON, Wis. &#8211; Two Minneapolis men have been arrested<br />
and charged with theft after they allegedly stole the<br />
head off of a Wisconsin store&#8217;s mechanical gorilla. Jesse<br />
Varga, 24, and John Jenness Jr., 28, are scheduled to<br />
appear March 10 for the misdemeanor charge in Wisconsin&#8217;s<br />
Outagamie County Court after police said they took the<br />
head off of a mechanical gorilla that had been displayed<br />
for 15 years outside of Balloon Magic in Appleton, Wis.,<br />
the Appleton Post-Crescent reported Thursday. They alleged-<br />
ly tore the head off the gorilla, causing $1,500 in damage<br />
to the item, on Thanksgiving Day and had the head &#8220;mounted<br />
in a position of prominence&#8221; in their apartment, police<br />
said. Minneapolis police said they discovered the head<br />
in the apartment after an anonymous tip to Appleton<br />
authorities. Varga and Jenness could each face up to<br />
9 months imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Councilman turns toilet into planter &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>SNELLVILLE, Ga. &#8211; A Snellville, Ga., city councilman who<br />
was warned for having a messy yard said he cleared away<br />
all of the junk except a toilet that he converted into a<br />
planter. Councilman Robert Jenkins was issued a warning<br />
in January after Snellville Mayor Jerry Oberholtzer gave<br />
police pictures of the toilet, a broken-down car and<br />
other junk in the official&#8217;s yard, The Atlanta-Journal<br />
Constitution reported Thursday. Jenkins said he got rid<br />
of most of the offending items, but the toilet was instead<br />
moved next to his driveway, surrounded by a halo of stones<br />
and made host to a tulip, two bunches of daffodils and two<br />
iris plants. &#8220;I just hated to get rid of it,&#8221; Jenkins said<br />
of the commode. &#8220;It was in good shape. I&#8217;m waiting for some<br />
warm weather to get it blooming. &#8220;It&#8217;s my contribution to<br />
folk art, not to mention I do love to see things grow.&#8221;<br />
Oberholtzer chuckled Tuesday when he was told of how<br />
Jenkins had complied with the warning. &#8220;It&#8217;s good to hear<br />
he cleaned up his act,&#8221; Oberholtzer said. &#8220;I certainly<br />
wouldn&#8217;t put that in my front yard,&#8221; he said of the toilet<br />
planter. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Man says he was pulled over for laughing &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>LIVERPOOL, England &#8211; A British motorist said he missed an<br />
important appointment when he was pulled over by a police<br />
officer for laughing behind the wheel. Gary Saunders of<br />
Liverpool said he was talking to his brother-in-law on a<br />
hands-free phone and laughing at a joke when he saw a<br />
traffic officer flash police lights and signal for him to<br />
pull over, The Daily Telegraph reported. Saunders said he<br />
was asked to get out of his car and the police officer<br />
said: &#8220;Laughing while driving a car can be an offense.&#8221; He<br />
said the officer questioned him for half an hour before<br />
letting him continue driving. &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t believe it when<br />
he told me I&#8217;d been pulled over for laughing,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I<br />
definitely wasn&#8217;t speeding so I asked what the problem was<br />
and he told me I was laughing too much.&#8221; Saunders said the<br />
officer took up half hour of his time by ordering him to<br />
take his driver&#8217;s license and other documents to the police<br />
station. &#8220;It went from ludicrous to unbelievable. He<br />
definitely had a bee in his bonnet about something and I<br />
got the brunt of it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;In the end he reluctantly<br />
admitted that he had nothing he could accuse me of, but<br />
still required me to take my documents to the station.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />

<p>This is the best way to hang on to any cell phone, pda or<br />
ipod. ClipHanger, takes away the need for a case as it<br />
conveniently clips on to your belt loop and allows one<br />
handed access to your phone. Its thin profile minimizes<br />
bulk and won&#8217;t poke you or cause discomfort, even while<br />
sitting. It is made from durable plastic that won&#8217;t break,<br />
and because it sticks up beyond the top of your phone, it<br />
helps to protect the antenna too. </p>
<p>Other cell phone clips are bulky and stick out too far to<br />
be comfortable. The ClipHanger is very slim and easily<br />
hooks on your belt loop, pocket or waistband. It moves<br />
with your body so it will not snap off and break. Use the<br />
included dashboard mount to hang your phone in the car. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Zoo cancels poop sale due to herbicide &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>SEATTLE &#8211; A Seattle zoo said it is canceling its spring<br />
&#8220;Zoo Doo&#8221; fecal compost sale due to high levels of<br />
herbicide in the manure blend. That&#8217;s Crappy! Woodland Park<br />
Zoo officials said unacceptable levels of the herbicide<br />
clopyralid were detected in the compost, which is comprised<br />
of manures from several animals, straw bedding, wood chips,<br />
leaves and grass, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported.<br />
&#8220;We deeply regret that Zoo Doo will not be available for<br />
our many loyal users,&#8221; zoo representative Dan Corum said.<br />
&#8220;Gardeners can be assured that they will get the quality<br />
they expect from Zoo Doo when it&#8217;s available again this<br />
fall.&#8221; Officials said the Zoo Doo will be used around the<br />
zoo, as clopyralid is not dangerous to the animals. They<br />
said the sale was canceled because the herbicide could kill<br />
some of the garden plants that it is meant to fertilize.<br />
Woodland Park Zoo spokesman David Schaefer said the<br />
facility sells about 1 million pounds of Zoo Doo each year<br />
to several hundred gardeners who are chosen by lottery. </p>

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>Lewis, Regarding the bit about LA County trying to go curse<br />
free&#8230;. a few years ago, a dude on my bowling league was<br />
upset with the language he heard, so he wanted everyone to<br />
put a quarter into a bucket every they swore. The idea<br />
quickly fizzled when we nicknamed it the F**k-it Bucket.<br />
He got so pisssed, he quit the league! -BB<br />
[Did he say "F*ck-it" when he left?]</p>
<p>Lewis, I fail to see the bad parenting in this but if it were<br />
me, I would tell them both, PACK YOUR BAGS AND GET OUT YOU<br />
ARE NO LONGER MY SONS. -Bob<br />
[You fail to see how a guy getting smacked in the head with<br />
a snow shovel by his own sons is a failure in parenting? What<br />
would you call it?]</p>
<p>The proper term for the anatomy is buttocks, not &#8220;anus&#8221; .<br />
The anus is the actual opening which ain&#8217;t pretty no matter<br />
who looks at it! The opening is gross while some people<br />
find the buttocks pretty. -NYLG<br />
[Not that I want to turn this into an issue of Great Sex-<br />
pectations, but some people would argue with you.]</p>
<p>&#8220;People don&#8217;t want handouts! People want hand jobs!&#8221;  This<br />
is B.S with regard to a lot of people. Some are born into<br />
welfare and a job is the last resort. Some states pay so<br />
well that taking a job would result in a financial cut<br />
back. But what the hell? Taxpayers can afford it, right?<br />
 -Rick </p>
<p>To your comment about people not wanting handout but hand<br />
jobs:  Roger that.  And BOY, did we get a hand job in the<br />
last election &#8211; eh? -Bob.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; END OF READER COMMENTS &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings fellow Bizarros:</p>
<p>Can you say bureaucratic bullshit? How is this for bizarre;<br />
The state of Washington is sending out hundreds of thousands<br />
of $1 checks to the state&#8217;s neediest residents. It&#8217;s a plan<br />
that is supposed to bring millions of dollars worth of food<br />
stamps to the state by March.</p>
<p>Leo Ribas, head of community services at the Department of<br />
Social and Health Services, says there&#8217;s a method to the<br />
state&#8217;s madness.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re trying to do this at a time when people need assistance<br />
the most,&#8221; said Ribas.</p>
<p>He says if the state&#8217;s food stamp recipients receive just $1<br />
for energy bill assistance, that qualifies them for extra<br />
federal assistance. </p>
<p>In other words, sending out $1 checks at a cost of $250,000<br />
to the state could bring the state and additional $43 million<br />
in federal funding.</p>
<p>Got all that? This is a perfect example of huge amounts of<br />
money falling through bureaucratic cracks. At this point it<br />
is not even corruption any more. When a bureaucracy gets big<br />
enough money just starts disappearing. Imagine what it is<br />
like on the federal level! </p>
<p>And people wonder how, while they pay 33 percent or more in<br />
taxes, the federal government can still be $7 trillion in<br />
debt. </p>
<p>Bizarrely,</p>
<p>Lewis</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; 13-year-old hijacks, smashes Beijing bus &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>BEIJING &#8211; A 13-year-old boy stole a city bus in Beijing,<br />
smashed it into a dozen vehicles and knocked down two<br />
utility poles before the escapade ended, police say. &#8220;It<br />
was like watching a blockbuster movie when I saw the bus<br />
crashing into cars like a bulldozer,&#8221; a man identified<br />
only by the surname Liu told Xinhua as he described the<br />
Sunday morning excitement.  The state-run news agency<br />
reported Monday the bus&#8217;s driver had gotten out to use<br />
a toilet when the slender, 5-foot-5 youth got into the<br />
driver&#8217;s seat, apparently started the bus without a key<br />
and drove off. The teen zigzagged through traffic, hitting<br />
a car and a minibus before putting the bus in reverse and<br />
hitting 10 more vehicles and the two power poles. One car<br />
was pushed through the front door of a clinic. Liu was<br />
having breakfast at his shoe-repair stand nearby when he<br />
saw the bus coming at him like a &#8220;dancing dragon.&#8221; &#8220;I<br />
threw my canteen and ran for my life,&#8221; he said. No one<br />
was injured but the boy reportedly was trembling and quiet<br />
when finally grabbed by three people who kicked in the<br />
bus&#8217;s door. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Jail for woman after speeding lies &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>BIRMINGHAM, England &#8211; Authorities in Birmingham, England,<br />
said a woman was sentenced to two months in jail after she<br />
attempted to avoid a speeding ticket by lying to police.<br />
Investigators said Sema Ali, 43, initially told police<br />
that she had been speeding &#8212; an offense which carries an<br />
$87 fine &#8212; because four men had attempted to run her<br />
Renault Megane off the road, The Times of London reported<br />
Monday. Police said Ali then convinced her husband,<br />
Mohammed Nawaz, to lie and tell police that someone else<br />
was behind the wheel when the speed camera photographed<br />
the vehicle in April 2007. Ali and Nawaz both pleaded<br />
guilty to perverting the course of justice. They were both<br />
sentenced to two months in jail, while Ali was also fined<br />
$87 for the traffic offense and received three points on<br />
her license. </p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Skydiver narrowly missed power line &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>BRATTLEBORO, Vt. &#8211; Authorities in Vermont said a skydiver<br />
was brought safely to the ground after he nearly collided<br />
with a 7,200 volt power line and clung to a voltage<br />
regulator. Brattleboro Police said Cameron King &#8212; a<br />
veteran jumper with Orange, Mass., skydiving company<br />
Jumptown &#8212; was blown off course by a strong gust of<br />
wind during his Saturday jump at the Brattleboro Winter<br />
Carnival, the Brattleboro Reformer reported. &#8220;You could<br />
see he was coming down very fast, then all of a sudden his<br />
parachute kind of wasn&#8217;t with him, and then it looked to me<br />
he kind of looped into (the power lines,)&#8221; said Rosemary<br />
Harris, president of the Winter Carnival. Central Vermont<br />
Public Service spokesman Steve Costello said power was shut<br />
off during the rescue, causing about 3,029 customers to<br />
experience temporary outages between 1:58 p.m. and<br />
3:13 p.m. EST. Costello credited the skydiver&#8217;s clear head<br />
with saving his life. &#8220;He could have touched a lot of<br />
things while waiting to be rescued,&#8221; Costello said. &#8220;He<br />
was very calm and listened to direction. &#8220;Our crew said<br />
they thought he didn&#8217;t realize how much danger he was in,&#8221;<br />
Costello said. &#8220;As they explained what (the power lines)<br />
could have, done he teared up, and it was finally becoming<br />
clear to him what he had escaped.&#8221; </p>

<p>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</p>
<p>Hi, Lewis: Not so much for the funny letters department, but<br />
just for future reference, dynamite (used on the whale) and<br />
the black powder you referred to are two very different<br />
things. One is diatomaceous earth (usually) soaked in nitro-<br />
glycerin, and is used for blowing things up. The other is<br />
essentially a mix of saltpetre, sulphur, and charcoal and<br />
is packed into old-fashioned guns for smoky civil war re-<br />
enactments and Kentucky rifle competitions. -Wendy<br />
[Wendy, would you feel uncomfortable if I told you that I<br />
think chemistry is sexy?]</p>
<p>I think it is distasteful to use Anna Nicole Smith in your<br />
bizarre couples list.  Its to soon after her tragedy. Other<br />
than that, I&#8217;ve loved your news for years! -Kaitey<br />
[I don't think she minds.]</p>
<p>Any self-respecting couch potato can tell you that the ex-<br />
ploding whale video shows up almost every week on one of<br />
the approximately 10,000 weird video programs.  Bring me<br />
a beer. &#8211;Harold Frodge<br />
[I told you it was an old story!]</p>
<p>Lewis, I&#8217;ve subscribed to your newsletter from work for two<br />
years. Now I quit and am sort of a &#8220;homemaker&#8221; in a way. I<br />
just got DSL hooked up and have an extra bill to pay now.<br />
Is there any way that I could make just enough a month to<br />
pay for the DSL from home with my computer? How is it done?<br />
I&#8217;m way up in Montana in the boonies, don&#8217;t know if that<br />
makes a difference. let me know if you can. Thanks, Babz<br />
[Sure. It's called web porn.]</p>
<p>Hi Lewis! There was a great story in the Seattle Times about<br />
a man who was in his home when two men broke in.  He sneaked<br />
out the back door and called 911.  When he got to the front<br />
of the house, he saw a white van parked in front with the<br />
engine running.  So he hopped in and drove away with the<br />
burglars&#8217; getaway vehicle! -Jody<br />
[Good one, Jody. However, the story said that the thieves<br />
were not apprehended! I wonder who they determined the van<br />
belonged to.] </p>
