Three minutes later, they got a call on their police radio, "Code 33 in process, man in bank dressed as a banana." Well there was only one bank in town, in fact, it was just across from the coffee shop. A code 33 was an "armed robbery" but it was also just 11:58 AM and Josh and Big Hoss decided it was the dispatcher playing a joke on them. So they continued on enjoying their coffee break. At 12:01 PM, they got a second call on their radio, "Repeat, Urgent, code 33 in process, man in bank dressed as a banana." Realizing it was past noon, they rushed across the street, but arrived 30 seconds after the banana split. ==================================================================== +-------------------- Bizarre Foods ---------------------+ _ __/") __ ________(___/__(_ \ \ \ (") _ ( \ ) ) ("/ _ / ) ( ( \") \.|\/|./ _________________\ /________________________________VK_ Mangrove Worms (Philippines) Worms that live off dead wood pulp.

She described the situation in vivid detail so her students would catch the drama. Then she asked the class, "If you saw a person lying on the roadside all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?"

The plaque was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it. The seven-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning Alex." "Good morning pastor," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque. "Pastor McGhee, what is this?" Alex asked. "Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service." Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Alex's voice was barely audible when he asked, "Which service, the 8:30 or the 11:00?" -<>- An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him, "How do you expect to get into Heaven?"

Bobby looked up and replied, "Well, Ms. Smith, you can't say you weren't warned." -<>- A father took his five-year-old son to several baseball games where The Star-Spangled Banner was sung before the start of each game.

He anxiously waited to hear the verdict on the quality of the coffee. The grandmother had never in her life had such a bad cup of coffee, and as she forced down the last sip she noticed three of those little green army guys in the bottom of the cup. She asked, "Honey, why would three little green army guys be in the bottom of my cup?"

The 45-year-old Pennsylvania National Guardsman has an "Iraq's Most Wanted" playing card signed by the late Iraqi dictator in his collection of rare collectibles, the New York Post reported. Heinbaugh said he obtained Hussein's autograph, along with the signatures of other Iraqi detainees, while serving as a prisoner guard in Iraq. "A lot of the detainees were happy to sign the cards. They said it made them look like celebrities," Heinbaugh said of cards, which featured 55 of the most-wanted Iraqi officials. "They were happy to be remembered. I think I'm the only soldier with practically a full set of signed cards. And I got a signature from Saddam himself." The cards were issued by the U.S. government and have since become collectibles to some, with Hussein's ace of spades the top money-earner. The Post said second place on the value list belonged to the king of spades, also known as "Chemical Ali" or Hussein's cousin, Ali Hassan al-Majid al-Tikriti. Artist wants to embrace U.S. motto fully An artist in Zion, Ill., says he wants to change his name to "In God We Trust" because that's the only way he can be fully free to embrace his true personality. Steve Kreuscher has a date next month in a Lake County court, at which he will ask the presiding judge for permission to change his name to the U.S. motto, the Arlington Heights (Ill.) Daily Herald said Saturday. The 57-year-old school bus driver said the motto perfectly symbolizes his life because his belief in God helped him survive depression, divorce and a home invasion. "I've had to trust God through incredibly hard times," the father of four said. Kreuscher told the Daily Herald that if he is successful at his June 13 court date, he will keep the motto alive even if activists eventually have the motto removed from all U.S. currency. "Those words are an endangered species," Kreuscher told the newspaper. "You might take it off the money, but you can't take away my name." Treasure ship found in diamond mine The DeBeers company found a different treasure in a diamond mining operation along the coast of Namibia -- the remains of a ship laden with gold coins. Dieter Noli, the archaeologist who has been examining the wreck, told The Times of South Africa the site is the richest gold find on the continent since a major ancient Egyptian discovery in the Valley of the Kings. "I told them sooner or later you'll find a wreck; and I've been waiting patiently for the last 20 years ... but now: jackpot," he said. The 500-year-old ship was carrying at least 2,500 gold coins from Spain and 50 elephant tusks. The vessel was heavily armed, but some of the weapons were out of date. Noli thinks the cargo suggests a European pirate or rogue captain may have been trying to sell arms to African rulers. The ship's timbers have long since decayed, but a few human bones have turned up. A DeBeers geologist spotted copper ingots April 1, suggesting that the mine 600 feet off a beach, contained more than diamonds. -<>- >From BizarreNews: [Another - 'Crossed The Line' example] .-""""- F .-' F J I I L `.

Kristoff Wennersten said he wanted to do something special to ask fellow senior Carolyn Campbell to attend the prom, so he convinced his teammates to bare their backsides and paint the words "Will You Go To The Prom With Me? Yes or No?" on their rears during a varsity soccer game. Campbell signaled her agree- ment by touching the lower back of the teammate with "Yes" painted on his posterior. However, Huron athletic director Dottie Davis said the lacrosse players were suspended for one day of school, barred from a undetermined number of games and ordered to perform 20 hours of community service. "Inappropriate is inappropriate," Davis said. "It disrespects women, and that's the clear message we need to have the students understand -- what may be fun to them isn't neces- sarily fun to everyone else." -- Skeleton found in overgrown tree ------------- OAKLAND PARK, Fla. - An Oakland Park, Fla., man said he discovered a skeleton inside his overgrown tree that in- vestigators believe has been there since last year. Glenn Parker said he saw the skeleton in the tree after trimmers cleared some of the foliage for BellSouth phone line service crews. The Broward Sheriff's Office said the death is believed to have been a suicide with no suspicion of foul play. Parker said authorities are working to determine whether the bones belong to a former roommate of his who disappeared about one year ago. ============================================================== >-->From Our Friend Sophie :) >NINE -=- (\ _ /) (`\(")/') (`/\') \\/^\// ANGELS: / \ hjw / \ `-._.-' ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ The Lord will never give you more than you can handle!!
