Greetings,
Somehow I let my son talk me into taking him to see Superman
Returns at the IMAX theater on Chicago's historic Navy Pier.
The boy is a Superman fanatic and his mother encourages him
by buying him all sorts of action figures and paraphernalia.
It should be an adventure, though. The IMAX is over 60 feet
tall and 80 feet wide. Plus, part of the movie is in 3-D.
I think the boy will have the patience to sit through it,
but the wife and our daughter are probably going to bail in
the first hour. Fortunately, there is plenty to occupy their
time on Navy Pier...all of which costs a small fortune.
You know, I used to think that Lake Michigan (on which Navy
Pier sits) was the largest body of fresh water in the world,
but as it turns out it is only the largest body of fresh
water in the Americas.
The largest body of fresh water in the world is Russia's Lake
Baikal. It is also the world's deepest and is home to about
20 percent of the world's fresh water.
They don't have a 60-foot tall movie theater, though.

************** BIZARRE STORY OF THE WEEK ***************
------------------ The Myracle of Birth --------------------
PAHOKEE, Fla. - Kenyetta Biggs' baby didn't want to wait any
longer to be born after she crashed her car into a canal.
The 21-year-old girl ended up giving birth alone while still
trapped in the wrecked vehicle waiting for help. Palm Beach
County sheriff's Deputy Stephen Maxwell noticed a head poking
out through some tall grass along the canal bank, and found
Biggs trying to get out of the partially submerged car. "As
I looked around her I saw the newborn baby laying in the
passenger seat with the placenta and umbilical cord still
attached," Maxwell said. Authorities said Biggs was on her
way to the hospital when a strong contraction caused her to
lose control of the car. Biggs and her new daughter, named
Myracle, were taken to a hospital where authorities report
they are doing well.

wife and her now ex-husband. They were discussing government
cost cuts that they recently heard about in the paper.
"Honey," his wife said, while reading the newspaper, "it
looks like our government is going to cut overhead and trim
down the military forces. They are going to retire six over-
aged destroyers."
