----- Driving Students Attack Examiners After Failing ------

PARIS, France - Imagine you have just failed your driving
test, perhaps even for the tenth time. You would probably
feel embarrassed, angry, and frustrated. Well, some French
learner drivers are taking their angst out on the test
examiners, threatening them at gunpoint, and often attacking
their cars. Jean-Francois Verdier said that "Threats at
gunpoint are not rare. Some, frustrated by their failure,
burst tires or smash car windows." Hopefully this will all
change soon. It's being proposed that potential drivers will
have to wait 24 hours after taking the exam to receive
results. This way if they fail, they only have themselves
to beat up, figuratively speaking.

---------- Want to Impress Your Ex? Commit Arson ----------

MINNESOTA - Police chief John Tuchek desperately wanted to
impress his ex-girlfriend in the hopes of winning her back.
What's one way to impress someone? Be a hero. Tuchek decided to start a small fire by his ex-girlfriend's apartment and
then was going to put it out and rescue her. But plans went
awry. He set fire to boxes at the back of the apartment, but
the fire engulfed a shop, two historic buildings, and the
homes of 10 people. Tuchek reported the fire to firefighters
and ran upstairs to save his ex-girlfriend. He now faces
nine counts of arson and six counts of criminal damage;
Tuchek quit the force before his court appearance. County
Sheriff Jim Connolly summed up the events: "You put the
fire out, you are a hero and she comes back to you or they
see you in a better light. Unfortunately, this fire got out
of control and quite a disaster resulted."

- Convicted Haitian Military Officer Flees to Disney World -

ORLANDO, Florida - If you were a military officer fleeing
the country to avoid prison, where would you go? Disney
World, of course! No one would find you in the midst of
thousands of children and people in costumes, right? Wrong.
Just ask Maj. Gen. Jean-Claude Duperval, who was Haiti's
second-ranked military officer in 1994 when a murdering
rampage took place. In 2000, Duperval was one of 30 people
convicted in absentia for their role in numerous military
crimes. Apparently, Newsweek reached the military offi-
cer at his Florida residence last week where he had been
working for Disney World. Duperval declined to confirm the
report, saying, "All this is past for me. I have a daughter
to educate and I am no longer in public life." Disney
spokesman Bill Warren gave conflicting reports, insisting
Duperval was an hourly employee and saying the he ended
employment in 1997. Sounds a little fishy to us...

------ Burglars Tell on Themselves in Home Videotape -------

CONNECTICUT - More proof that criminals aren't that bright:
a group of burglars recently videotaped themselves talking
about their next robbery. Additionally, they identified
themselves by name and included footage of their actual
crimes. An unknown do-gooder got a hold of the tape and gave
it to police. Officers estimate the tape explains at least
eight burglaries, and a 19-year-old was arrested. Detective
Sergeant Michael Madden detailed the incriminating evidence,
"On the tape, they identify each other by name and talk
about what building they are going to rob next." Police
cannot figure out why the suspects taped themselves. And
now, neither can the suspects.

---- Farmer Busts His Way Into Limelight With Bra Fence ----

NEW ZEALAND - Bras are being used for a different kind of
support by a farmer in New Zealand. John Lee started putting
bras on the fence of his farm as a joke, but the 66-year-old
says he is now receiving undergarments from all over the
world. Passing female motorists have even been known to get
out of their cars, strip off their tops and adorn his famous
fence with their bras. But thieves raided the bra fence three
times in 10 days leaving him virtually bra-less. He is now
securing his bras to the fence using rabbit netting. He had
165 undergarments at the last count. "If these ladies keep
sending me their bras I feel honor-bound to put them on the
fence," Lee concluded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHILOQUIN, Oregon - Howard Hamer, 63, had just taken off from the airport in the desert town of Chiloquin when his single-
engine plane lost power. He decided to attempt an emergency
landing northbound on U.S. 97 when a flatbed truck pulled up
underneath him. The plane's propeller snagged on the sleeper
of the truck while the tail crashed down onto the empty
trailer bed. If the plane had actually landed in traffic a
serious injury would have surely resulted. As it turned out,
no one was hurt, and neither the truck driver nor Hamer was
aware the other was even there until the impact.
