Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Now here's one you don't hear very often. It seems an American
Airlines flight from Washington Reagan National Airport to
Dallas/Fort Worth, made an emergency landing after passengers
reported smelling struck matches.
The plane landed safely. The FBI, Transportation Safety Ad-
ministration and airport authority responded to the emergency.
The passengers and five crew members were brought off the
plane, together with all the luggage, to go through security
checks again. Bomb-sniffing dogs found spent matches.
But what was the dastardly plot? Was it a shoe bomb? Had some-
body snuck in some flammable liquid in tube of KY Jelly? Or
was it worse...was somebody trying to smoke?
As it turns out it was none of these things.
The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the
matches in an attempt to conceal a little personal flatulence.
The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back
on the plane.
While it is legal to bring as many as four books of paper
safety matches onto an aircraft, it is illegal to strike a
match in an airplane. Feeling compassionate for the poor
woman's embarrassment, American Airlines has banned her from
flying their airline for an indefinite period of time.
By the way, if you're looking for some really unusual video

and bizarre clips if you're into that kind of thing. But don't

FACTS
If the Sun stopped producing energy today, we wouldn't know
about it for ten million years.
On a clear night in the autumn you can see two million years
back in time.
The first living creature to orbit the Earth was a dog called
Laika.
People in space are up to 5 centimeters taller than they are
on Earth. Without the effect of gravity pressing them down,
their vertebrae (sections of their spine) move a little
further apart.
The footprints that Neil Armstrong and the other astronauts
left on the surface of the Moon will still be there in a
million years' time.
Jupiter is so big you could fit the Earth inside it 1300
times over.
On the Sun a person would be as heavy as an elephant is on
Earth. The Sun is 330,000 times more massive than the Earth,
so its gravity is very strong.

--------- French chefs create "Space Cuisine" -----------
PARIS - The European Space Agency has engaged a team of
France's leading chefs to create haute cuisine suitable for
space. Quails, swordfish and duck are among the delicacies
that were put together at the catering school in southwest
France run by top chef Alain Ducasse, The Times of London
reports. Ducasse, who has earned 14 Michelin stars, was asked
to produce outstanding examples of French cuisine that could
be canned and then reheated in the International Space
Station's oven. His team came up with a three-course menu that
included quails in Madeira wine, sand carrots in orange and
coriander and semolina cake with dried apricots. Their
creations were transported to the space station by an unmanned
Russian cargo ship and sampled by the astronauts last week. A
spokesman for the space agency explained that taste buds are
dulled in space, making even standard fare less tasty than it
would be on Earth.

------ Thousands Battle Foul Weather for Free Turkey ------
TORONTO - Thousands of people braved the cold in Toronto to
camp out for a prominent Jewish businessman's annual free
giveaway of 1,200 Christmas turkeys. The giveaway has been a
tradition in the city for 19 years as a show of gratitude
from retailer and theater mogul "Honest Ed" Mirvish at his
garishly signed department store. Sunday was the first time
Mirvish, 93, didn't attend. The role of greeter and turkey
dispenser went to his son, David Mirvish and staff, who also
put a Christmas fruit cake into bags along with the frozen
turkeys, the Toronto Star reported. Several people camped out
for 16 hours in sub-freezing temperatures for one of the free
birds, which were piled under a sign saying "Ed's in a fowl
mood." With retailing foremost in mind, recipients had to
weave through the store and up three flights of stairs past
discount merchandise before reaching the giveaway site. The
giveaway ended just over an hour after it began, the report
said.
------------ CIA Agent Stole Jewelry, Panties -------------
FAIRFAX, Va. -- A fired CIA employee has pleaded guilty to
charges that he burglarized 10 homes near the agency's head-
quarters. Prosecutors said George C. Dalmas III, 48, admitted
in Fairfax County Circuit Court that he broke into the homes
from October 2005 to January of this year. He was charged with
taking items that included valuable jewelry, collectibles such
as Camp David cuff links and 1,074 pairs of women's underwear.
His lawyer, Gary Moliken, said mental health issues, rather
than greed, motivated Dalmas, whom he described as a pack rat.
According to court documents, Dalmas never tried to pawn or
sell the jewelry or other valuable goods. Investigators said
Dalmas was tracked down after a woman reported an intruder in
January and gave police information from the license plates of
the intruder's getaway car. CIA officials said Dalmas worked
for the agency for almost 20 years and was fired from his mid-
level administrative post in August. He faces up to 20 years
in prison for each of the 10 burglaries when he's sentenced
Feb. 9, though prosecutors and defense attorneys say he is
likely to receive less time.

---------------- Warm Beer Led To Killing -----------------
A St. Louis man was shot to death Sunday night over a warm
beer, police said. St. Louis police say a woman shot her
husband, who was about 70 years old, four to five times in
the chest after he tried giving her a warm can of Stag beer.
Police said the wife admitted shooting him about 5:40 p.m.
in the kitchen of their home in the 5100 block of Terry
Avenue. Police said the home had no electricity at the time.
Homicide detectives would not identify the man. The woman,
whom police also did not identify, was taken into custody.
---------- Principal Under Fire For Boy's Haircut ----------
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A high school principal could be in
trouble for taking one of his students to a barber shop --
without permission of the pupil's parents. "Students should
not be taken off of campus by any staff member without parental
permission," said Rigo Chavez, district spokesman. Rio Grande
High School Principal Al Sanchez said he thought Fidel
Maldonado Jr.'s hair style -- the number "505" and a Zia
symbol shaved into the back of his head -- was a gang haircut.
The Zia, a sun design on the state flag, can be traced to a
symbol on a 19th century Zia Pueblo water jar. 505 is New
Mexico's area code. Sanchez said he thought he was doing
Maldonado, 15, a favor by taking him to a barber instead of
suspending him. "I said, 'Do you want to just go to the barber
and cut it off?' He said, 'Yeah.' I said, 'Let's go,"' Sanchez
said. It was not clear if the hair style was connected to a
gang. Fidel Maldonado Sr. said the law was broken when the
principal took his son off campus. He said he is considering
legal action. "For him to take my son and take him out of
school without my consent, against his own will, is wrong,"
the elder Maldonado said.

Question of the Week

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
A spray on contracetive? Why not....after all I know a guy
who used Pam as a lubricant (and NOT on me). --Sherry
[Well, it's low-calorie, anyway.]
Better do some research Lewis, actual hemp will NOT produce
a high when smoked. --John Minks
[Oh? Not that I'm arguing with you (I wouldn't know either
way), but if it doesn't then why outlaw it?]
After reading this spray-on condom story, one question im-
mediately came to mind: How do I take the thing off once
I'm done with it?
[Anybody have any experience with this type of thing?]
Hey Lewis, I live in a suburb of Pittsburgh PA. A while ago
my neighbor went to the municipal office to learn the rules
of pet ownership. While viewing the laws she discovered that
(can you believe this) it is actually illegal to own a hip-
popotamus! Why discriminate against such a noble creature
as the hippopotamus? --Tim
[It's pure discrimination, is what it is.]
i take issue with your "big surprise there" comment. just
because the guy's a lunatic doesn't mean he's a pothead.
i know plenty of loonies who don't smoke pot, and plenty
of people who smoke pot who aren't loonies. the same applies
for stupidity. i know plenty of complete morons who don't
smoke, and plenty of stoners who are quite smart. --kyle
[I sure there are plenty of stoners who are quite smart,
you'd just never know it because they're baked all the
time!]
I have had enough. I like the colum that you write, but if
I wanted sex news or pervert news I'm sure there are plenty
of other sites on the net. I don't care if you list this
one or trash it because I have already un-susbscreibed from
your news letter. Stick to the core business or change your
title, I think the "Pervert news colum" is becoming more
approprate. --Micah
[That DOES have a ring to it...]
