WILL BE DEMANDING A REMATCH: Thomas Woods, 59, of Davis Park on New
York's Fire Island, was "drinking heavily" with his roommate, Rod
Bennett, when he had an idea for a contest. "Let's see which one of us
leaves first," Woods allegedly said as he set the rug on fire. As the
flames spread Bennett ran out to a neighbor's house to call the fire
department. By the time firefighters arrived the house was fully
engulfed, and Woods was later found burned to death. (New York Newsday)
...Then he's the winner, isn't he?
STICKY WICKET: As the Carlisle, England, cricket team took to the pitch
for a game, player Dick Scott called for a moment of silence to
remember former player Leonard "Bunt" Brunton. The flag was even set to
half-mast. "I was really touched when I heard about it," Brunton, 66,
said later. Huh? Brunton isn't dead: Scott insists another team member
had mistaken an obituary for another man nicknamed "Bunt" for their
former colleague. "I stopped playing a few years ago," Brunton said. "I
suppose I should go down again now to prove I exist." (Carlisle News
and Star) ...What, and spoil the moment?
NOT QUITE OSCAR MAYER: Robert Scott Stinnett, 13, and Josh Logan Lewis,
15, were arrested in San Carlos Park, Fla., on suspicion of possessing
a loaded wiener. Lee County Sheriff's investigators say the duo made a
bomb and concealed it in a Polish sausage. Described as "homemade
napalm", sheriff's spokeswoman Ileana LiMarzi said they stuffed it into
the sausage casing so they could call it a "wiener bomb", and
apparently had no intention of trying to detonate it. The boys were
each charged with one felony count of making a destructive device.
(Bonita News) ...Typical teen boy: "Yeah, this wiener is loaded, but I
promise not to use it."
