Greetings fellow Bizarros:

I haven't been in a fist fight since college, and that was a long time ago, but I do remember the exhaustion that comes after the adrenaline rush of physical combat. Which is why I find this story so bizarre.

Authorities say a woman attempting to rob an 86-year-old man ended up brawling with him for eight hours in his southern New Jersey home. Eight hours!

A Millville man let 46-year-old Kay Carty into his home after she knocked asking for a glass of water. Authorities say the man asked Carty to leave when she attempted to take items from his home.

Police say the two then brawled on and off for nearly eight hours until the victim's son came home and found the man holding Carty down on the floor.

I have trouble sitting upright for eight hours, I can't imagine the titanic effort it would take to wrestle for that long...even with a woman.

Both Carty and the alleged victim were hospitalized with broken bones.

Police have charged Carty with burglary, assault and weapons possession.

All I can say is that is one stubborn old man.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

* Sandy's floods left fish in Jersey man's pool *

BELMAR, N.J. - A New Jersey man said the floodwaters of Hurricane Sandy left something unusual in his in-ground pool -- a tiny school of live fish. Robert Castellano said his Belmar neighborhood was flooded for several days following the October storm, with 3 feet of water in his back yard, and when he pulled the cover from his in-ground pool this month he discovered a school of about 15 fish living in the water, the Asbury Park (N.J.) Press reported Tuesday. "I don't know how they got under the cover," Castellano said. "When the water was on top of the pool, it may have lifted the edges. Some are so small, they may have been just eggs. Or born in here. "They're very quick," he said. "I don't know what they've been eating, probably the algae. To survive in this water they have to have one heck of a will to live." Bob Mathews of the Fishermen's Den tackle shop identified the fish. "It looks like it's a white perch," Mathews said. "They're slightly anadromous fish -- they can live in fresh and brackish water."


* Police: Chicago man tried to sell gator online *
CHICAGO - Authorities said they arrested a Chicago man who allegedly tried to sell a live baby alligator for $300 on Craigslist. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources said an undercover officer responded to the ad posted by Juan DeJesus, 19, and went to the man's home Monday while posing as a potential buyer, the Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday. DeJesus brought the alligator out of his home and was arrested on a misdemeanor possession of wildlife charge, police said. The alligator was seized by the officer. DeJesus is due to appear in court May 31.

Yes, poison ivy is natural too but so far it doesn't seem to have any good uses to mankind except as a weapon. But you know, there may be a positive use for it yet. We just haven't discovered it.
[It probably cures cancer.]

Lewis, You might want to let Jenn know that the last several shooters were on medication for his ADHD and there is a study that link the two. She may want to take her kid off of that medication, however that might kill the kid as well.

Hi Lewis, Here's another story for you: Killer beaver: Fisherman bitten to death by rodent in Belarus. -Carolyn
[I saw that story, but I didn't use it because I figured in Belarus that wasn't bizarre.]
