Greetings fellow Bizarros:

This is the kind of thing you would expect to see on a Saturday morning cartoon, not on the streets of a major Texas metropolitan center. Although we are talking Texas so I guess anything goes.

Investigators say a 45-year-old woman was hit by a car last Sunday night while she was carrying her grandson across an intersection in San Antonio.

Police said the 2-year-old being carried by the woman flew out of her arms, over the hood of the car and rolled into the vehicle's sunroof, landing inside the vehicle without serious injury.

The woman was thrown to the ground by the impact and the young boy was thrown toward the windshield of the car, which he rolled up and before landing inside the sunroof, police said.

The toddler suffered only minor injuries and police said his grandmother was taken to University Hospital in critical condition but was expected to make a full recovery.

Police said the incident was being treated as an accident and the driver has not been charged with a violation.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Rights group objects to animal psychics --*
BERLIN - A German animal rights group said it is concerned about the dignity of animals being used as soccer-predicting psychics by media outlets. The Tierschutzbund animal rights group said the Euro 2012 tournament has led TV and radio stations to overuse the psychic animal gimmick, which was inspired by Paul the octopus, a cephalopod that made headlines with a string of successful World Cup predictions in 2010, the BBC reported Wednesday. "These days, everybody who has an animal seems to put it in front of a camera," said Marius Tunte of Tierschutzbund. "Every station has its own animal." The group said it was particularly upset about an Internet radio station using a python named Aldo to make predictions by choosing between two rats representing different teams. "Unnecessary suffering is being inflicted purely for the sake of enjoyment," the group said.

*-- Poll: U.S. trusts Obama on ET's --*
NEW YORK - Almost two-thirds of Americans said President Obama can better deal with an alien invasion from space than presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney, a poll found. The "Aliens Among Us" survey -- released Wednesday by the National Geographic Channel as part of its promotion for a new series on UFOs -- found more than 80 million Americans [36 percent] are sure UFOs exist and 11 percent are pretty sure they've seen one. Sixty-five percent said if there is an invasion from outer space, Obama would be better suited than Romney to deal with it, with 68 percent of women vs. 61 percent of men agreeing with the proposition. Seventy-one percent said they think it is more likely aliens exist than it is that there are superheroes, vampires and zombies. But if there are such things as real superheroes, 21 percent said they would want the Hulk to deal with an ET invasion, while 12 percent would put their fate in Batman's hands and just 8 percent would call Spider-Man. Tech Supervisor Erin Ryder and UFOlogist James Fox -- who worked on the National Geographic Channel series "Chasing UFOs" -- said the survey results reflect what they have learned in their research for the show, NGC said in a release. The eight-part series is scheduled to premiere Friday. Kelton Research conducted the survey of a random nationwide sample of 1,114 people May 21-29, using e-mail invitations and online surveys. The margin of sampling error is 2.9 percentage points.

Lewis, what do you mean, "if cloning was really possible?" It is possible, and it was first successfully done back in 1996! I thought that was common knowledge! - Chris
[Cloning People! I meant cloning people. Well, I guess we have perfected it, just look at Cher.]

If that mother wins that law suit I will be very disappointed in the justice system. She wasn't made to cut her daughter's hair, she chose to do so to reduce the sentence. It shouldn't even make it to court. - catt napp
[I can't believe that you're not disappointed already. It's shameful at times.]

The dope eating the dope reminds me of the Cheech and Chong movie only not funny. It seems to me there was a similar dock on a lake accident involving high school prom couples earlier this spring. History does repeat itself and we obviously don't learn from the past. - JJ
[What happened to the doctor on the lake?]
