Greetings fellow Bizarros:

There are a lot of reasons why The United States is better than France; we have women who shave their armpits, we don't give cigarettes to babies and we tend to shy away from cheeses that smell like feet. Another big advantage is that our spouses cannot sue us for not performing in the bedroom (or bathtub or on the kitchen table...depending on how kinky you are).

This was not the case for poor, Jean-Louis. After his divorce the 51-year-old man was sued by his 47-year-old ex-wife because he failed to put out in the bedroom. Talk about adding insult to injury.

The man was fined under section 215 of France's civil code, which says married couples agree to a "shared communal life."

Jean-Louis complained that he was often tired and had health problems that prevented him from being sexually active with his ex, but the judge decreed, "By getting married, couples agree to sharing their life and this clearly implies they will have sex with each other, and in this case it was absent."

He has been ordered to pay his wife 10,000 Euros, or $13,965, to compensate for a lack of sex over 21 years of marriage.That's over $300 a bop for most married couples. Not a bad rate at all in Vegas.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Sword-wielding man arrested on highway --*
MERRILLVILLE, Ind. - Police in Indiana said they arrested a man spotted walking shirtless along an interstate while holding a sword on his shoulder. Indiana State Police said Master Trooper Rick Hudson and Trooper Ricky Rayner were responding to a call about an abandoned Toyota in the middle lane of Interstate 65 about 2:30 a.m. Sunday in Merrillville when they spotted the man, who appeared to be in his mid to late 40s, The Post-Tribune in Merrillville reported Monday. State Police Sgt. Ann Wojas said the man swung his sword at Hudson and then dropped the 35-inch weapon when Hudson ordered him to put it down. Wojas said the man attempted to get inside a sport utility vehicle that swerved to avoid hitting a police car, but surrendered when ordered at gunpoint. The man, who gave police several different names and addresses, claimed to be "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs," police said. The unidentified suspect was charged with attempted carjacking, resisting law enforcement and possession of marijuana.

*-- Sperm donor fathers 150 offspring --*
WASHINGTON - A Washington area social worker said she has learned the sperm donor used to conceive her son seven years ago fathered 150 other children. Cynthia Daily, 48, told The New York Times in an article Tuesday she began a quest for her son's half-siblings by searching a Web-based registry for other children fathered by the same sperm donor. Daily said she set up an online group to track the children and today they number 150 -- with more on the way. Her story has prompted concern among parents, donors and medical experts about the potential negative consequences of having so many children fathered by the same donor. Britain, France and Sweden limit how many children a sperm donor can father but there is no limit in the United States, only guidelines. Law Professor Naomi R. Kahn of George Washington University said without limits the same donor could theoretically produces hundreds of related children. It's that accidental incest could occur, Kahn said.

Hey Lewis, the story said the guy was carrying a truckload of pot "illegally?" When would it have been legal? And in other news, Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii, Duuuuuude!!! -Tom.

Lewis; I'm not at all superstitious but wouldn't it be bad luck to celebrate "defy superstition day"?

Hey, Lewis, what is up with Queetzal? We haven't heard anything from him in a long time. Did he go back to his home planet, or is he just trying to hide out among us humans again?
[My guess is he's gone into politics.]

You know we used to beat our kids into submission with spankings or belts at school and home. That was decried as abuse and stopped in most cases. We all felt very self righteous about it. However now we take them to a psychologist and drug them into submission. And this is better? -John
