SMITE THY ENEMIES: Angel Shuntaria Morris, 19, says she was having an
argument with her boyfriend over something they were reading: the
Bible. To settle the argument, she poured boiling oil on his face,
causing "ghastly" burns, police say. But from his hospital bed, Kipi
Blidi, 31, says the Bible argument story Morris told was "a complete
fabrication." He said they had just taken a shower together, and the
oil was for french fries she was making for his early morning
breakfast. Morris has been jailed on a charge of first-degree domestic
violence. Blidi's doctors say he will recover fully. (Eugene Register-
Guard, AP) ...The verse was almost certainly Exodus 20:16.
RESULTS IN 100-200 YEARS: Forget Atkins. Forget low-fat. The only way to
diet, says The Rev. George Malkmus, 70, of North Carolina, is to follow
his "Hallelujah Diet". The plan, Malkmus says, is dictated by the
Bible: "Everything we need [was] in the Garden of Eden: fruits,
vegetables, nuts and seeds." The proof that it works? People mentioned
in the Bible who ate a raw diet lived an average of 912 years, he says.

NOVEL DEFENSE: During his trial on charges of biting off his girlfriend's
nose during sex, Angel Jones, 27, of Toronto, Ont., Canada, testified
the mayhem was an accident. "It popped off accidentally," he told the
court while defending himself after firing his lawyer. He said she had
recently lost a lot of weight and that "more likely had made her face
more fragile." The jury didn't buy that Pinocchio's tale: after just 75
minutes of deliberation, it convicted Jones of aggravated assault,
sexual assault and death threats against the victim, who has undergone
significant reconstructive surgery. Prosecutors will seek a minimum 14-
year prison term. (Toronto Globe and Mail) ...Remember, Angel: guys
tend to lose weight in prison.
YET ANOTHER SOLUTION LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM: The Bulgarian Foundation on
Cosmic Intelligence Research has proposed a new currency that would be
more acceptable to extraterrestrial beings that might happen to travel
to Earth than, say, dollar bills or gold. "We are offering the galactos
as a means of payment between planets," said Foundation chairman Kiril
Kanev, unveiling the new coin at a UFO conference in Sofia. "It will
represent the Earth in financial relations in the Cosmos." But
governments won't need to stock up because "extraterrestrials [only]
come into contact with insignificant, ordinary people." (AFP) ...The
Galactic Express card: don't leave your planet without it.
