Greetings fellow Bizarros:
You all remember the controversy over the answer Miss
California gave to a question about gay marriage during
the 2009 Miss America pageant. That's nothing compared
to the trouble the beauty queens get into over in
England.
The reigning Miss England has relinquished her crown after
being accused of a fight in a bar. Pageant organizers say
Rachel Christie has also withdrawn from next month's Miss
World competition in South Africa.
They said in a statement that the 21-year-old heptathlete
will now focus on clearing her name and training for the
2012 Olympics.
British newspapers reported that Christie got into a fight
with another beauty queen - Miss Manchester Sara Beverley
Jones - in a nightclub earlier this week.
Greater Manchester Police said Friday that a 21-year-old
woman was arrested on suspicion of assault after an alter-
cation at the city's Mansion nightclub on Monday. She was
released on bail pending further enquiries.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

--------- Diaper-wearing woman awarded $150,000 ----------
PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. - A Pennsylvania woman was awarded
$150,000 in a discrimination suit claiming she had to
wear diapers to work due to a lack of toilets. The Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission's lawsuit against Danella
Construction Corp., of Plymouth Meeting, Pa., said Lisa
Drozdowski, 37, had to wear adult diapers while she was
working as a flagger for the company in 2005 because
officials refused to provide portable toilets, the
Philadelphia Daily News reported Thursday. Drozdowski said
her bathroom breaks, which involved walking a quarter mile
to her car and driving several minutes to the nearest rest-
room, often came after she had already urinated on herself.
She said the company stopped giving her work when she
complained about the bathroom breaks and was denied a
laborers position. The commission and Danella entered into
a consent decree filed in a court Wednesday. Danella
agreed to pay $150,000 to Drozdowski and four other female
employees who claimed they were also discriminated against
by the company will split a $50,000 payout.

-------------- Robber reported fake crime ----------------
DANA POINT, Calif. - Authorities in California said a bank
robber called 911 to report a fake bank robbery in a nearby
town before walking into his targeted establishment. Jim
Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Depart-
ment, said the suspect, described as an African-American
man in his 20s, was first spotted at a supermarket in
Laguna Nigel at about 9:20 a.m., the Orange County Register
reported. Witnesses said the suspect spoke with someone
at the store, which had a closed Bank of America branch
inside, about finding an open branch and was told of an
open location about 3 miles away in Dana Point. Amormino
said the suspect then went to an AT&T store near the open
branch and used a display phone to call 911 and report a
bank robbery in Laguna Nigel. He then walked into the Dana
Point bank, told a teller he was carrying a gun and left
with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Lewis, Bizarre News disappeared from my mailbox a couple
months ago, and no matter how many times I signed up for
it, it never arrived. Now, out of the blue, I have BN again.
I KNEW you'd come back, Lewis. I knew you couldn't stay
away forever... David
[I sort of like herpes, you never know when I'll pop back
up.]
Lewis, I hope you're making a lot of $. You bring a lot of
fun into my life, Sugar. Thanks from a fan in California.
[Well, I don't keep stacks of twenty dollar bills under
the sink in the bathroom, but I squeak by. Thanks for the
kudos.]
I'd like to ask your letter-writer Lisa: Lisa, is there no
place in the world for "self-important, pompous dweebs"? At
least we don't carry guns (most of us.) Karlyn Thayer,

Too bad there's no picture of Mrs. Vossough. Never heard of
an obscene F cup. Wonderful maybe, but never obscene.
[When you start with a B and go to an F, it can't be pretty.]
