Greetings fellow Bizarros:It's hot. We all understand that. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that more than 2,000 temperature records have been matched or broken in the past week. But that still doesn't justify violence, especially against your air conditioning repair man.
Repairman Sean Hickman had gone to the home of Deltona, Florida resident Stan Nguyen to repair a unit. When Hickman began explaining what was wrong with the unit to Nguyen, the homeowner became angry and refused to pay.
Hickman said he attempted to give Nguyen an invoice for the work; at that point Nguyen pulled out a gun and pointed it at the ground, attempting to fire the weapon. Fortunately, the weapon's safety was on and it did not fire.
But then Nguyen removed the safety and that's when Hickman took cover behind his van. Hickman called for help and said Nguyen was pointing the gun in his direction and threatening to shoot him if he tried to leave.
Well, people get touchy about their air conditioning when it is a hundred degrees outside.
No one got shot in this instance. Nguyen was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The AC unit still isn't working.
Bizarrely,

(Even More 'Bizarre June Holidays' Next Issue)*-- Man allegedly stole $755 worth of melons --*HOKOTA, Japan - Police in Japan said they arrested a 69-year-old man accused of stealing $755 worth of melons from a farm. Police said a CCTV camera recorded the man entering a greenhouse at the Hokota, Ibaraki Prefecture, farm twice June 26 to steal the 30 valuable melons, Japan Today reported Monday. Investigators said they are looking into whether the man stole fruit from any other farms after 79 melons were recovered from his home.
*-- Young men gather through 'Pony' fandom --*PITTSBURGH - A Pittsburgh group comprised mostly of young men has been meeting weekly to discuss and debate their favorite TV show, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." Organizers of the PittsBronies group, which includes 124 people who identify themselves as bronies -- a combination of "bro" and "pony" -- said their group is about 63 percent male and about 62 percent between the ages of 18 and 24, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Monday. John Drake, 24, a doctoral computer science student at University of Pennsylvania, said the group held its first meeting last December and members now meet on a nearly weekly basis to debate their favorite episodes and the best characters on the show. Edward Garbade, 19, a friend of Drake who founded the CMU Bronies group at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University, said bronies will admit the show was created for young girls, but it has a higher entertainment value than previous installments in the "My Little Pony" franchise. "The show teaches lessons about friendship and being nice to others, a message from childhood that seems to be forgotten unfortunately often in today's culture," Garbade said. "The characters have distinct personalities, engaging back stories and remain consistent from episode to episode." Both men said they will be in Secaucus, N.J., this weekend for BronyCon Summer 2012, which organizers said it expected to draw about 2,000 fans and will feature show creator Lauren Faust and voice actors as special guests.
*-- READER COMMENTS --*Regarding the animal psychics, I fail to see how the python is suffering, especially if it's allowed to eat the losing rat.
[
I think it's the rats who are doing most of the suffering in that particular scenario. Unless they force the python to watch soccer, which could be considered cruel.]
What do they mean IF aliens show up? Have they looked at the politicians? No one can control them and they sure act like they want to destroy the world for there good. -Les
[
Unless they are alien bankers I would say no to that theory.]
Hi Lewis.. Really? People are so bored that they are taking polls on who would beat aliens, Obama or Romney? Seriously people, no one could be that bored! But having it brought up, with those ears, I think Obama would hear the aliens coming long before they got here!! -Patty
Lewis, The label, UFO itself indicates there are some. As to question that we have beings from outer space living among us is another story. We, the world, have nothing to offer any being that actually has the intelligence to come here, stay around and become a part of this world for very long. We probably being observed and left. Even God is putting off his return perhaps for entertainment, watching the contrast and foolishness. -Donna

If you think of the Earth as a cosmic sit-com a lot of things start to make a lot more sense. Suddenly I'm very depressed.]
