Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Sometimes a hoax really comes off well, earning fame for
the hoaxter (even if it is an anonymous fame), like the Cardiff Giant, the War of the Worlds broadcast, the Roswell UFO crash or the moon landing. But sometimes it fails miserably. Sometimes fatally so. Take the sad case of Montana resident Randy Lee Tenley, for example.

Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Jim Schneider reports that friends of the victim said Tenley was wearing a military-style camouflage suit in hopes of creating a Bigfoot hoax.

Schneider said Tenley was first hit by a 15-year-old girl driving in the right southbound lane of U.S. Highway 93 who said she couldn't get out of the way of the shaggy obstacle. Tenley was then struck by again by another teen's car as his body lay on the road.

"It's still a crash involving vehicles and a pedestrian. So we're still doing the same investigation, but once we started speaking to parties, then someone involved in it, trying to ascertain exactly what brought that gentleman out to Highway 93 ... I would not guess that would motivate anybody to be out on Highway 93," Schneider said.

Schneider said police are waiting to get toxicology reports to see if Tenley had been drinking.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- DUI suspect blames 'being a bridesmaid' --*
HOLMES BEACH, Fla. - Police in Florida said a woman arrested for driving under the influence told a deputy the arrest is what she gets "for being a bridesmaid." The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said a Holmes Beach police officer Friday pulled over Lesley Falcone, 27, for driving 18 mph over the speed limit and drifting into oncoming traffic, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Monday. The officer called a deputy to administer a sobriety test and Falcone was allegedly "unable to stand in the starting position" for the walk and turn test. "I'm done and I don't want to look like a fool," the woman allegedly told the deputy after attempting the test. The deputy said Falcone admitted to having several drinks before driving. "This is what I get for being a bridesmaid," the report quotes her as saying.

*- Broken cellphone returned with saucy video -*
VASTERAS, Sweden - Swedish authorities said a woman sent her cellphone in for repairs and it was returned to her with a video of a man masturbating. Police said the woman took her phone to a Kristinehamn company in June and the broken device was sent to a Vasteras factory for repairs, The Local.se reported Monday. The woman called the company shortly after getting her phone back and reported there was a video of a man masturbating saved on the device. The company filed a police report and investigators said the man depicted in the video is believed to be a factory worker since he was wearing factory-issued shoes and the clip was recorded in the factory's bathroom.

I fully agree with the idea of 2 years military service for all graduates, 1 year for maintaining 4.0 average. The drop outs should go for 3. Jury Duty is easy to get out of. I was self employed and dodged it by saying if I did not work my family would not eat.
[One year of military service would kind of be a waste of time. You can't really train anyone to do anything in one year. But I like your merit system.]

That flying turtle story is a version of an old West Texas story about 'post turtles'. You see a turtle on top of a fence post- and it reminds you of Obama. He doesn't belong there. He is totally out of his element. He is absolutely useless in that position. He didn't get there on his own, someone had to put him there. He has no idea how to get out of his predicament. He won't get out of the problem without help. Our job- help him get out of this unqualified position in November. -corky
[I thought it was a metaphor for Obama because he was high as a kite in his youth (by his own admission on TV).]

The more stories I see about school administrators the more I'm thankful my kids have graduated. Is one of the requirements for being a principal that you throw out all common sense? -Dave
[It might be, since most states have thrown out the pedophile requirement.]
