Greetings fellow Bizarros:It never fails; right around Thanksgiving bizarre turkey related stories always start popping up. And this year is no exception.
I was particularly amused by the suicide turkey in Sheboygan, WI who launched a preemptive strike on Thanksgiving last week. Utility officials say the turkey flew into a power line in Sheboygan County knocking out power for about 1,500 people.
But the real story comes from Gulf Breeze, FL where investigators say a neighbor and his friend used a bow and arrow to shoot and kill a family's pet turkey for their Thanksgiving dinner.
Sheriff's deputies arrested two Santa Rosa County teens charging them with armed burglary, armed trespassing, theft of livestock and animal cruelty.
The teens told deputies they planned to eat the 30-pound turkey for Thanksgiving. I guess food stamps are a little harder to get in Florida.
Animal lovers Brian and Christa Caponi live on 6 acres and have a multitude animals, but they said this turkey was special because he was so friendly. In fact, the Caponis said he was more like a family dog than a turkey.
Although a family dog would not go nearly so well with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy.
Bizarrely,

Email Lewis*-- Santa dangles by beard at British mall --*READING, England - Officials at a British mall said a Santa was left dangling by his false beard when it became stuck while he was rappelling down for his big entrance. The Broad Street Mall in Reading, England, said the Santa Claus was rappelling into the mall to entertain the children during Saturday afternoon's lights switch-on ceremony when his false beard became caught and he was left dangling 15 feet off the ground for about 30 minutes, the BBC reported Tuesday. Stephanie Maynard, marketing manager at the mall, said the Santa was uninjured. "He could have just taken his beard off and let himself down but he was such a professional and he didn't want to let the children down," she said. "He lost his footing as he came through the hole in the ceiling and there was a sudden jolt and he got caught in the clip on the rope. Some people were absolutely mortified while others thought it was the funniest thing ever. They had to let another rope down and get him down and there was such a roar from the crowd. Usually after the lights switch-on the center empties but there were so many people still there waiting to see if Father Christmas was going to get down."
*-- Police: Woman used bones as sex toys --*GOTHENBURG, Sweden - A Swedish woman accused of using human bones as sex toys told authorities she collected the remains because she is interested in history. Prosecutors said the 37-year-old woman -- who was arrested in September and charged Tuesday in Gothenburg District Court with violating the peace of the dead -- was in possession of a CD labeled "My necrophilia" and "My first experience" when she was arrested, The Local.se reported Tuesday. Prosecutor Kristina Ehrenborg-Staffas said authorities do not know how the woman obtained the bones but an initial homicide investigation was later dropped. The woman, who pleaded not guilty, said she has done nothing illegal. She faces fines and as much as two years in prison if convicted.
*-- READER COMMENTS --*Hi Lewis, I just read the first story earlier this evening. wow, you DO get the up to the minute Bizarre stuff, don't you? I think the best quote attributed to one of the hunters was, "Send more drones, we need the practice." Please, keep up the good work. Of course, this is a strange old world, so I don't think you ever have to worry about unemployment. --Lynda-Marie
Lewis, I don't know about the guy who thought the secession of states from the Union was laughable but I seriously agree with Michigan's secession and so do all of my family. We don't have a militia but we have enough guns to surprise some people. -Patti

Tale all the folks that signed the petition, revoke their citizenship and deport them anywhere that they will be taken. Not sure what country would take traitors though. They don't want to be part of the United States, which is us, then send them somewhere else.

Yeah, they can go back to England and tell 'em we were wrong...we can't make a great republic work.]
Just a heads up on that math thing about 200,000 vs 37M people in California. There are some strange laws on the books. Here in Texas in the 70s; Port Arthur (financially hurting) decided they wanted a little fishing town that also had a couple of oil rig companies. Sabine Pass literally had millions extra in their budget for a town of a few hundred people. Port Arthur started the Annexing process and a vote was counted. For some reason known only to God, if a person did not vote, it was counted as a vote to be Annexed. Today, Sabine Pass, TX is part of Pt Arthur... for this new taxable landfall, Pt Arthur picks up their trash.

Sounds like shotgun democracy to me. I think the U.S. got a lot of Indian territory in a similar fashion.]
