Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Folks, here is a story that is literally of monumental pro-
portions. A British man kayaked, pedaled, walked, swam and
skated to become the first person to circumnavigate the
globe by human muscle alone.
Jason Lewis, 40, shunned motor and sail to travel 45,505
miles in a quest that ended last week when he pulled his
pedal boat across the Meridian line at the Royal Observ-
atory in Greenwich.
The epic journey took him 13 years, two months, 23 days and
11 hours.
Lewis capsized in two oceans, was chased by a crocodile in
Australia, had two bouts of malaria, surgery for two hernias
and nearly died of blood poisoning 1,300 miles off Hawaii.
He also suffered acute altitude sickness in the Himalayas,
broke both legs when he was hit by a car in Colorado and was
arrested as a spy in Egypt.
"It's been a big, long journey. It's good to be back," a thin,
leathered and weeping Lewis said simply as he crossed the
finish line.
Just incredible. And I feel like I've accomplished something
when I force myself to walk the four blocks to the post office
and back.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

--------- Kids make duct tape clothes for charity ---------
PEORIA, Ill. - Students at an Illinois school created
about 500 duct tape clothing items and accessories to
be sold for a breast cancer research charity. The students
at Hines Primary School in Peoria created duct tape items
including shirts, vests, ties, hats, visors and purses
for the May 6 Duct Tape Fashion Show, which will feature a
sale of the items to benefit the Susan G. Komen Race for
the Cure, the Peoria (Ill.) Journal Star reported Thursday.
"I think it is wonderful and heart-warming to see the
solutions and things the children have found they can do
to help," said Carolyn Nunn, assistant principal at the
school and a breast cancer survivor who finished her treat-
ments earlier this year. "They can't take away the cancer,
but they can do things, like lend support in this way, or
say kind words to show they care." Terry Spayer, the
school's art teacher, designed the project with help from
Pat Townsend, 66, a grandparent and volunteer with the
Peoria Citizen Committee for Economic Opportunity.

------------- Tenn. city elects dead man mayor -------------
TRACY CITY, Tenn. - Election officials in a Tennessee
county said a town elected a deceased candidate mayor
in a landslide -- 268 votes to the incumbent's 85. Donna
Basham, administrator of the Grundy County Election
Commission, said Tracy City voters elected Carl Robin
Geary, who died suddenly a few weeks ago, over Mayor
Barbara Brock, who took office about a year ago after the
death of the last mayor, WTVC-TV, Chattanooga, Tenn.,
reported Thursday. Basham said Geary's death was widely
reported in the town. She would not speculate as to the
reasons for his posthumous victory. The administrator
said the city council will appoint a mayor to serve a
four-year term.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Do you know that old story about the hunter who shot a
charging lion with an umbrella and killed it...? No,
please tell us.
[Oh, that's an ancient joke. I won't go into details, but
the idea is that a mother takes her teenage daughter to
the doctor only to discover the daughter is pregnant. The
mother is indignant, insisting her daughter has never had
sex and there must be another explanation. The doctor tells
her the story of the man shooting a lion with an umbrella.
The mother replies that's impossible, somebody else must
have shot the lion, and the doctor says, bingo!]
OK, I'll bite, Lewis. Why did the lion have an umbrella?
[To keep from getting rained on, of course!]
Hey Lewis, I checked out that bizarre clip with the baby
being put in front of a king cobra. Astounding! Surely
this is the epitome of bad parenting. -Andrew
[The man in the news recently who punched his baby to
death, now that's bad parenting.]
Regarding your mention of the girl busted for drinking in
the back of the cruiser: since she pled 'No contest' to
the charge the Smoking Gun now has the video from the
cruisers cam.
[Oh yeah? Does she take her top off? That's about the only
thing that would make that video interesting.]
