A 40-year-old man smashed a theater's soda fountain and cash register and a plant in the lobby because he was upset at the excessive violence in "Lord of the Rings" (Terrace, British Columbia). Researchers found that men with high levels of the pollutant PCB in their bodies are more likely to father boys than girls (East Lansing, Mich.). A 32-year-old man (5-foot-6, 160 pounds) became the first inmate to escape by squeezing through a prison's "escape-proof" cell windows only 6 inches wide (Frostproof, Fla.). Two female streakers were acquitted of indecent conduct because state law penalizes only "exposure" of the genitals, which, said the judge, almost never happens to females since their organs are mostly internal (Bangor, Maine).

Adding this...

From the UK: Hey Moe! Hey Larry! I can't see!

Detectives were left in stitches by security camera film of a robbery by two teenagers who forgot to cut eyeholes in their masks.

Officers watched in astonishment as the pair repeatedly bumped into one another, demanded money from a shop wall, and failed to notice their newsagent victim dialing 999.

Lawyers at York crown court were convulsed in their turn as details emerged of how Thomas Rathbone, 18, and a 17-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons, crashed into the shop counter.

Finally, in frustration, they made the cardinal mistake of pulling off their masks to get their bearings in front of the security camera.

The pair admitted charges of robbery in York, in July. The court heard on Monday that they had succeeded only in stealing three packets of cigarettes.

Rathbone, of York, was sent to a young offender's institution for a year, and the other youth was given a year's detention and training order.

A spokesman for North Yorkshire police, who may find the video hard to resist as a Christmas party item, said: "They must have been the dumbest raiders in the world. The video is more of a farce than a hold-up."

There are some strange things going on out there, I especially don't get what was with that guy who smashed up the stuff at the cinema.

I don't suppose you have heard of the fellow down in Georgia.
It seems that he was running a Crematorium and the furnace broke
down. Instead of getting the cremator fixed he just started stacking the coffins and bodies in some out buildings. When those filled up he just tossed them into the woods. The Funeral Urns were filled with wood ashes and dry cement.
They expect to find some 200 bodies.
