Greetings fellow Bizarros:
There is parenting, and then there is Georgia parenting.
Police have arrested a Georgia woman who they say forced
her son to kill his pet hamster with a hammer as punishment
for earning a bad grade.
Meriwether County sheriff Steve Whitlock said that the
12-year-old boy told his teacher about the killing. The
teacher reported it to the Division of Family and Child
Services, who contacted police.
The pet's death allegedly took place at the family's Warm
Springs home.
Whitlock said 38-year-old Lynn Middlebrooks Geter faces
one charge each of animal cruelty, child cruelty and battery.
There is no word on whether the 12-year-old's grades improved,
however the family cat is nervously awaiting the results of
the child's next math quiz.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

----------- DNA spells jail for sloppy burglar -----------
LONDON, Ontario - A Canadian man was sentenced to two
years in prison for three home burglaries in London,
Ontario, in which he left DNA behind each time. Kevin
St. Germain, 43, was convicted of the 2006 and 2009
burglaries in which a total of $72,000 worth of loot was
taken, the London Free Press reported Thursday. He was
sentenced Wednesday after court heard an empty soda can
with two straws in it was found at one break-in site,
which yielded his DNA. At another site, an open bottle
of peach juice had St. Germain's fingerprints on it, and
at the third site, a cigarette butt that had his DNA on
it, the report said. His fingerprints and DNA were on
file based on burglary convictions in 2000, the newspaper
said. None of the stolen items were recovered.

Hey Lewis, just to be clear about the whole Global Warming/
Climate Change concern. Al Gore said in his movie, which
pretty much got everyone talking about it, that global
warming would lead to the ice caps melting, which would
stop the ocean currents, and could lead to an ICE AGE.
Essentially he was tired of everyone trying to understand
a very complicated issue just from reading the name of it
and making stupid jokes every winter as proof that he's a
quack... But I've always agreed with you on this, regard-
less of what a person thinks about Al Gore, do we really
believe we can dump billions of tons of toxic gases into
the environment for hundreds of years and not have any
consequences?
[It sounds like somebody has seen the movie The Day After
Tomorrow one too many times. It doesn't matter if global
warming is real or not. You are right, however, that human-
kind cannot continue to recklessly poison the environment.
There will be consequences, the least of which would be a
theoretical rise in average global temperatures.]
The one and only time that I have been to that club the
dancer actually tried to solicit sex. At the tune of
$500.00, She was hot but no way was she that hot. It's
not a normal strip club, as all of the dancing goes on
behind closed doors. Anyways just thought you might find
that humorous. love your ezine.
[It still sounds cheaper than marriage.]
I can just imagine a chicken being issued a citation by a
Quitman cop: Cop "Do you have a lawful reason for crossing
the road?" Chicken "Cluck?" Cop "OK, smart arse. Give me
your name." Chicken "Cluck cluck." Sound of TASER.
[Sounds about right.]
