CLASSIC BIZARRE NEWS - Tuesday, March 20, 2007 "A wild journey into the history of the most bizarre stories EVER." ------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings fellow Bizarros:
IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH: Straight from Finland...Bizarre News may actually be BENEFICIAL to your HEALTH!
That's right, discriminating reader. Top Finnish researchers at the University of Helsinki have determined that reading Bizarre News may, under certain circumstances, SAVE YOUR LIFE!
Investigators found that people who reported persistent stress due to high work demands, low job security, or few career opportunities had the same level of risk for fatal heart attacks as people who smoke and do not exercise.
Even the American Heart Association (AHA) acknowledged that stress management benefits overall health. AHA spokesman Philip Greenland said it is quite possible that job strain could contribute to heart disease.
The life or death question becomes...how can you REDUCE YOUR STRESS AT WORK? The answer: Bizarre News!
The AHA also pointed out that the biggest risk factors for heart disease are still smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. However, after taking into account these risk factors, the Finnish researchers found that employees who reported high job strain were twice as likely to die from heart disease as workers who did not feel stressed.
Don't take the chance. Make sure you read your Bizarre News every day and reduce your stress.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

Many diseases occur with disproportionate frequency in cer- tain ethnic groups. For example, 43 percent of the persons suffering from Gilles de la Tourette syndrome are Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern European origin. Tourettes is classified by multiple tics, involuntary movements and uncontrollable impulses to be foul-mouthed (coprolalia). Also, sickle-cell anemia is most prominent among African Americans.
Sugar from, the urine of a diabetic is identical to grape sugar. Michel Eugene Chevreul, a French chemist, discovered this fact in 1815, which was the first step towards recog- nizing diabetes as a disease of sugar metabolism.
Responses to the plague began to emerge in some societies in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In Germany, Flagellants arose. They attempted to appease the wrath of God by beating one another and themselves profusely.
In England, from about the fifteenth to the seventeenth cen- turies, the color red was thought to have healing power. The sick or ailing were dressed in red nightgowns and surrounded by as many red objects as possible to bring down fevers.

----------------------- Love Bites -------------------------
CALIFORNIA - Some people are so adorable that you could just eat 'em up. Unfortunately for a 65-year-old Cali- fornia man, his sex-starved wife took the cliche a little too seriously. After Arthur Pratt had denied his wife's request to make love, Kelli attacked her husband with teeth of fury. During her assault, Kelli managed to tear out two huge chunks of flesh from her elderly husband's chest. When police arrived on the scene after Arthur's frantic 911 call, Kelli was found "with blood all over her mouth from the bites." Six days after the ravenous onslaught, Arthur passed away from a heart attack. In an effort to take a bite out of crime, police may prosecute Kelli on a homicide charge, pending a coroner's investigation.

--------- Future Brides Forced To Squat On Brooms ----------
SERBIA - Guys, before you say "I do", it's a good idea to double-check and make sure your bride-to-be is not a witch. Superstitious grooms in Serbia are using broomsticks to check whether their brides are witches. The test conducted at Djundjerski Castle in Kulpin involves weighing women and then weighing them again sitting on a broomstick. If they weigh more the second time around, they are not being supported by the broomstick and "certainly not a witch." To make it official, certificates are issued to non-witches. However, many men claim they don't need any test to tell them that their wife is a real witch. [And what do we do with witches?]
