Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Whoever said kids don't have ambition any more? A 13-year-
old Blaine, Wash., boy said he believes he has set a world
record by inflating 213 balloons with his nose in the space
of an hour.
Andrew Dahl, who credited playing the trumpet with giving
him his lung strength, said Guinness World Records refused
to certify his videotaped previous attempt at the feat, 184
balloons in an hour, because he did not tie the balloons
himself.
However, Dahl said this time he did all of his own tying,
and the attempt was captured by multiple video cameras and
witnessed by numerous friends and family. The teenager said
he expects to hear back from Guinness within a few weeks
regarding whether his latest attempt qualifies for the Book
of World Records.
Dahl's father, Doug, said he measured each balloon after it
was inflated to ensure it met the minimum diameter, 20 centi-
meters (about 7.9 inches) and the boy's mother, Wendy, kept
a running tally of Andrew's nose-inflated balloons during
the event.
The teen said he has been inflating balloons with his nose
since he was 7-years-old.
"When we had barbecues or get-togethers I'd do it just to
show that I could," he said.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

--------------- Male patient not pregnant ------------------
FAIRFIELD, Ohio - Authorities in Butler County, Ohio, said
a team of paramedics was shocked upon discovering a patient
who appeared to be pregnant was actually a man. Police
reports said the patient, who did not speak much English,
was picked up by a Fairfield Township Life Squad at a
Speedway gas station and the paramedics believed the
patient to be a woman far along in her pregnancy, The
Fairfield (Ohio) Echo reported Thursday. However, when
they lifted the patient's clothing to check for signs of
crowning, they instead found irrefutable evidence of the
patient's masculinity. The report said the man, who gave
his name as "Mayra," later said he was depressed and "just
wanted to go the hospital."
--------- Man proposes with newspaper crossword ----------
ATLANTA - An Atlanta man who popped the question to his
girlfriend through the USA Today crossword puzzle says his
marriage proposal was accepted. Alex Fay, who created the
marriage-themed puzzle and submitted it to the newspaper,
said he chose the unconventional proposal because the
crossword was something he and his girlfriend, Lisa Stern,
did together on a daily basis, USA Today reported Thursday.
"When I was trying to think of something that was personal
and kind of fun, it just leapt into my mind," Fay said.
"This is something we share, so I enjoyed being creative."
Stern said the puzzle's overt marriage theme made her
suspicious, but it wasn't until she got to clue 58 Across,
"Question that pops up," and came up with the answer,
"WILLYOUMARRYME," that Fay lowered himself to one knee and
presented her with the ring. "I was shocked," Stern said.
"I knew he'd do something creative. I did not think he
would do something this big."

---------- Ind. police: Lights in sky a mystery -----------
KOKOMO, Ind. - Police in Indiana's Tipton and Howard
counties said they have received multiple reports of
bright streaks of light in the sky Wednesday night.
The police and WRTV, Indianapolis -- which also received
calls from residents -- said many of the callers reported
an explosion after the lights, and callers from Kokomo
reported a metallic smell, WRTV reported. Indiana State
Police and county sheriff's departments said they could
not locate any crashed objects, despite sending at least
50 emergency responders to investigate. "We had reports
of fire and things falling from the sky," said ISP Sgt.
Jeremy Kelly. "After that, several reports in several
different areas came in, but we did not locate anything
consistent with the reports." The Federal Aviation
Administration said there have been no reports of missing
planes or other objects. Authorities said the incident
remains a mystery, but some speculated the ruckus may
have been caused by a meteorite.

I thought this engine that runs on water has already been
patented by someone else, the government is taking a serious
look at it for testing in various military equipment. The
fuel is called HHO. Just Google it, or Youtube - type in
HHO Fuel. -Lance, York, Pa.
[HHO is a gas produced from water through electrolysis. A
very energy intensive process. Engines don't run on gaseous
fuels, they run on liquid fuels.]
Lewis: I am not a fan of bio-fuel either but your sob story
implying the US is supposed to feed the world for free is
bullshit. The US is broke and in debt to a majority of the
industrial world.. We are a net importer of goods and have
astronomical trade deficits to show for it. And the steady
erosion of the US dollar will cause imported energy to cost
more and more every year. This nation is in free fall because
of no national priorities and no leadership. -Dennis
[I by no means think it's the job of the U.S. to feel the
world, nor did I suggest that in the last issue. In fact,
the brunt of the pressure to steer agricultural production
away from biofuel and back to food is falling on the EU
which has mandates to convert large percentages of their
production to biofuels. They should take care of their own
needs.]
Hi Lewis, Why don't you use your last name? I bought your
book, actually two copies, and was surprised that you don't
use your name even in a professionally published book. What
gives? -Dave
[Statute of limitations.]
Hi Lewis, I was reading bizarre news and I was wondering do
you write all the articles that are on here? How about the
readers comments - are they real? Also how do you feel if
someone cuts and paste your bizarre news and changes your
name to theirs and sends it out to their friends? --Robin
[I write some of the stories...and some I suggest to my
assistant editor, Steve. He takes care of everything else.
And yes, all of the comments are from real, live, actual
subscribers. I couldn't be that bizarre all by myself.
As far as changing Bizarre News and remailing it out as
original material...that's what we have a pack of rabid
attack-lawyers for.]
