Weird Daily News - May 19, 2003

Fun Poll: Which Country of the World are You?

Tree That Give Meat Instead Of Fruit!
"Here's some good news that vegetarians can really sink their teeth into: Researchers have developed genetically engineered fruit trees that bear real meat! Fruit from the new Meat Trees, developed by British scientists using gene-splicing technology, closely resembles ordinary grapefruit. But when you peel the large fruit open, inside is fresh beef."

Taxpayers Association Chairman Convicted of Evading Taxes
"The former chairman of the Middletown Taxpayers Association was convicted of tax evasion and obstructing the Internal Revenue Service. O'Donnell faces up to five years in prison for each of the five tax-evasion counts at his sentencing Sept. 2 in U.S. District Court."

Cremated Ashes Found in Fast-Food Drive-Through
"Workers at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant discovered the cremated ashes of a man who died last December -- in the drive-through takeout lane. How the ashes got there is a mystery, police said, but they weren't waited on."

Ferret Causes Train Chaos
"A FERAL ferret caused chaos on a train as it ran amok through carriages and wolfed down the driver's lunch, a train company said yesterday. Frightened passengers screamed as the animal clambered over their laps when it leapt on board at Leicester station."

Jail Romp Bid Foiled
"Two sex-starved Romeos tried to break into a women's prison - because they were sure the inmates would find them irresistible."

A $14 "Ergo" Keyboard from Surplus Parts
"I've gotten quite a response to this page, including many good suggestions. Dozens of people asked "Why not use two keyboards and a Y adaptor" instead of bothering to hack a keyboard to pieces?"

It's Raining Golf Balls On O.J.
"Fallen football icon O.J. Simpson loves golf, but not at 4 a.m. It's come to my attention that the hot topic of discussion in the west Miami suburb that Simpson has called home for the past three years is that a smart aleck in a helicopter has been dropping golf balls by the bucketful onto his roof in the middle of the night!"

Catch ya' later,
Robert Richmond
