Greetings fellow Bizarros:

There is now yet another reason to be afraid of New Jersey. Some searchers for the mythical Sasquatch in New Jersey say there is a mysterious man-ape type of creature dubbed Big Red Eye for his glowing eyes.

Local experts said the legend of Big Red Eye began three decades ago with an incident involving the deaths of multiple rabbits, which police blamed on a bear, but some regional newspapers promoted as a monster mystery.

Believers said the fact that the monster has evaded hunters and photographers for years does not mean he is not still out there stalking the woods. However it does provide evidence that the creature is probably not 'Snooki' from Jersey Shore.

"Maybe we don't know everything," says Mike Aragona, 44, a member of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. "We have all this technology. We put a man on the moon. We have satellites. We have all these different things, but here's a creature that could be living right under our noses that has mastered something we have long lost: how to survive in the woods."

Retired ranger Tom Card, 56, said he encountered Big Red Eye at High Point State Park during the 1970s. "I've spent my whole life in the woods and I've never heard anything like it," he said. "When I first heard it, I thought it was a siren in the distance. I was like, 'This isn't good.'"

Of course, if you were living in New Jersey you probably wouldn't be very happy about it either.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- 49 carrots dance for marriage proposal --*
QINGDAO, China - A Chinese man surprised his girlfriend by proposing marriage after he and 48 friends performed a dance routine while dressed as giant carrots. Pan Kun recruited friends to join him Saturday for the dance in the city of Qingdao's Aofan Square and his girlfriend, Zhang Xinyu, initially thought she was only a spectator and called her boyfriend to tell him about the spectacle, the Wall Street Journal's China Real Time blog reported Wednesday. However, Pan unveiled himself after the dance, to the theme song of Jiangsu TV dating show "If You Are the One," and asked Zhang to be his wife. Zhang accepted the proposal while a crowd cheered for her to "Marry him!" The blog said local media reports indicate the stunt cost Pan $15,600.

*-- 8-foot pot plant in blind woman's yard --*
ROCK HILL, S.C. - While searching for two suspects, detectives in South Carolina discovered an 8-foot tall marijuana plant growing in a blind woman's yard, police said. Sheriffs came across the plant growing near a shed in the 57-year-old homeowner's yard while tracking down suspects in an unrelated case Monday in Rock Hill, S.C., WBTV, Charlotte, reported. The woman told police officers she is legally blind and was unaware of the plant in the yard. She said her boyfriend, Daniel Matthew Ashworth, 48, did all of the landscaping in her yard. When police caught up with Ashworth, he admitted to them that he was growing the plant, saying that he was "just experimenting with growing it." He also told police that he didn't use marijuana. Police were granted permission to search the blind woman's home, and found no other drugs there. The 8-foot plant was taken in as evidence. Ashworth was arrested and charged with producing marijuana.

Taking Lobsters and dumping them back in the Sea is extremely stupid. What you have effectively done is taken any diseases and / or parasitic animals that are detrimental to Lobsters and transported them to a new location. It is also stupid from a natural population perspective. Lobsters survive by having tons of children. Their population is not limited by adults (within reason) it is limited by food supply. Food supply is what these invasive Lobsters are now taking from the babies. -John
[You're taking all the fun out of the story, John.]

Your argument is basically that since one problem wasn't solved quickly or appropriately. We should eliminate the enforcement system. That is like saying since this murderer wasn't convicted we should eliminate the legal system. After all it didn't work immediately in this specific case. -John
[Nope. I'm saying the enforcement system is unevenly and disproportionately and unfairly applied.]

Hi Lewis, Since no one really knows what Jesus looked like
(cameras not being invented 2000 years ago), this story
really is amazing! Of course, you could assume that some
of the Bible illustrators or famous painters were divinely
inspired, but which ones? The Bible has no description.
Perhaps the Pope will declare this a miracle! -Carolyn
[I was always sort of fond of the Chinese Jesus, myself.]

Oh please Lewis! Shame on you for spreading such B.S. about cat mean being served in Chinese restaurants. Do you also believe the one about kangaroo meat in McDonald's hamburgers or that other story of Jack In The box serving dog food? -Dan
[Oh yeah? Have you ever eaten at Jack in the Box???]
