Greetings fellow Bizarros:

The assignment was to bring important family items to kindergarten class for show-and-tell day. You can imagine the various photo albums, scrapbooks and hand-me-downs of all descriptions those toddlers brought in.

But interpreting the assignment literally, one child brought something very near and dear to his mother...her crack pipe. That and an ounce of drugs, presumably to share.

School officials in Kansas City, MO called police when the child produced the pipe and several baggies of drugs from his backpack.

Police said the child's 32-year-old mother has been charged with possession of a controlled substance and one count of first-degree child endangerment.

Police Chief Richard Downing said a child bringing drugs to show-and-tell was a first in his law enforcement career. "When I called the prosecutor about it, they said, 'You're kidding me, aren't you?'"

At least it wasn't another incident of a child bringing a loaded gun to school, so in those terms, I guess we could call it an improvement!

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Girl, 2, played hide-and-seek with police --*
SKANE, Sweden - Police in Sweden said a 2-year-old girl reported missing from her home was found to have been playing hide and seek with searchers. Skane police said the girl disappeared while her parents were cleaning their home Saturday and a search party including local residents, more than 60 police officers, sniffer dogs and a helicopter scoured the area for the toddler, The Local reported Monday. The search went on for several hours before a police dog discovered the girl sleeping in her bed. Police said the girl must have been moving through her house during the search, playing a hide and seek type game with the searchers. "It's a little curious that she managed to move around while so many participated in the search. She must have been very careful," police spokeswoman Helena Ralmark said.

*-- Leeches help save woman's face --*
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Hundreds of leeches were applied to a woman's face to treat a large wound inflicted by her own dog, doctors in Sweden said. The woman was rushed to a hospital after the dog unexpectedly attacked her, ripping off a large piece of her face from her upper lip to her eye, The Local reported Tuesday. After doctors worked to reattach the torn part, leeches were applied to help re-establish blood circulation to the woman's face. "The most important thing was to get blood into the torn off body part, which we managed to do within an hour of the start of the operation," specialist Stina Klasson said. The 358 leeches, by sucking blood and introducing blood-thinning fluids, helped the process. "The grower who supplies the hospital with leeches ran out. More leeches had to be flown in from the United Kingdom," Klasson said. Doctors said the surgery was a success, although additional reconstructive procedures would probably be necessary.

Lewis, I was involved one time with a bank and a stupid id thief. He deposited phony checks at one branch location, then came to another to withdraw some money, a common way to rip an account off. I had to drive 3 times to downtown Los Angeles as a potential prosecuting witness. Found out later that he finally negotiated a 1 year sentence with the prosecutor. What a slap on the wrist! He'd probably came out of jail better educated next time how to rip people off, then when he went in. -James
[Punishments frequently don't fit the crimes. I have read plenty of stories where a non-violent drug-user has received a longer sentence than a rapist or a murderer. That is why jurors need to take their responsibilities very seriously and be careful who they convict!]

REALLY? Bless his little pea-pickin' heart! wants to sit in booths like NORMAL people.. he is not normal.. at 290 lbs that is NOT normal.. obviously he is a product of our public schools that teach that we are not responsible for our actions and decisions. -Corky
[Sure it's normal...if he's eleven feet tall.]

But the guys who brought their dead friend along while bar hopping didn't actually bring him IN to the bars, right? I've been a doormen for 15 years. Denver is one of my stomping grounds; just want to be sure I don't need to add "check pulse" to "check ID".
[No, the story did not indicate that the two actually brought the body into the bars with them. Maybe they snuck beers out to him?]

Lewis the woman in New York that has 20 feet of fingernails must be rich and have some one wait on her, bathe her, cook and clean for her and even wipe her ass for her because she couldn't do any of these things if her finger nails are twenty feet long. -Dennis
[I tried not to think that far.]
