Greetings fellow Bizarros:

A lot of things are extreme. Skydiving is extreme. Skiing off the top of a mountain is extreme. Javelin-catching is extreme. But sitting in a jacuzzi is not extreme...unless you do it with the Extreme Jacuzzi Fanatics.

This group of adrenaline-charged relaxers like to take their hobby to the limit. And most recently that limit was 500 feet above ground.

The plan involved suspending a platform 130 feet from the top of the 620 foot high Gueuroz Bridge in Switzerland with only cables and ropes.

On this platform they constructed a jacuzzi large enough for 25 people, including enough space for a gas-powered system to keep the water warm and bubbling.

When all was ready the 25 daredevils stripped down to their bathing suits, climbed into the tub and enjoyed a little cake and champagne for over two hours.

According to one of the participants, "It must have taken around 2,500 hours to plan for just 2 and a half hours in the jacuzzi, but it was definitely worth it."

I guess, depending on how much free time on your hands, but it could not have taken more time that their last stunt, which involved carrying (yes, carrying) a jacuzzi to the top of Europe's biggest mountain, Mont Blanc, and enjoying a dip at 15,000 feet. Now that's relaxing.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Couple exchange vows for 100th time --*
HONOLULU - A Tennessee couple who married in 1984 have made it into Guinness World Records by exchanging their vows for the 100th time. Lauren and David Blair, ages 60 and 58, said they first exchanged vows in 1984 in Topanga Canyon, Calif., and they have since renewed their vows 99 times, with the most recent being Sunday in Honolulu, Guinness World Records said. The couple said each of their ceremonies has taken place in a different location. "We were both in long-term relationships in the past that didn't work out," Lauren Blair said. "We knew we were meant for each other and wanted to continually share that vow experience. I love to look into David's eyes as he is repeating his vows. I know that this man will love me until the day I die. Of course, David will tell you that he does it for the honeymoons!"

*-- Barber accidentally shot in buttocks --*
PARMA, Ohio - An Ohio barber said he will not press charges after a customer dropped a gun, accidentally firing a bullet into the barber's buttocks. Kurt Voelkel, owner of Werner's Barber Shop in Parma, said the customer arrived for an appointment around 2 p.m. Sept. 29 and the 9 mm handgun fell from his holster as he was preparing to sit down, WJW-TV, Cleveland, reported Thursday. Voelkel said the weapon discharged a round, which passed through his chair and his wallet before becoming lodged deep within his buttocks. "It took me a minute to realize what happened," Voelkel said. "But at the time, it really did hurt pretty bad." The barber said he was treated at MetroHealth Medical Center and released after two and a half hours. He said doctors left the bullet inside of him. "If I really get in there and push, I can feel it. But other than that, I can't -- just the wound," Voelkel said. He said he will not press charges against the longtime customer as the incident was accidental and the man is taking care of his medical bills.

Hi Lewis, I'm still rolling on the floor about this....I did a little research and found that those poor deprived ladies in Texas are not alone....Perhaps there is a possibility in vibrator smuggling as a money maker. haha. Cheers, Mike

If you kill someone it should mean life in prison. If we use the eye for an eye principle, and execute murderers, they would never again take a life and the taxpayers would save millions of dollars every year. -Rick
[You would need a fool-proof appeals process. A lot of convicts on death row have had their sentences lifted after DNA evidence proved them not guilty.]

I read about this in an old Jay Leno Police Blotter book...A man walked into a Circle K, placed a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the register, the man pulled a gun and demanded all the money in the register. The clerk gave him the money, which was all of $15, anf the man fled the store, leaving the twenty on the counter. How is that for a stupid criminal? -Chris
[Is pointing a gun at somebody and giving them five dollars a crime?]

All states, including Texas have vibrating politicians but they call it "waffling" I think Lisa was referring to Texas presidential candidate Rick Perry who seems to be a Dildo. -Michael
