Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Wow. A huge, and I mean giant, scientific and political
scandal has just been dumped on the Internet. I think every-
body knew this kind of thing was going on, but the sheer
volume and depth of it is incredible. In case you have been
in a cave the last couple days...it turns out one of the
major centers for climate change research in England has
been withholding and falsifying information to make it look
like global warming is happening and getting worse.
And incredibly enough, it was all done by a hacker who broke
into the computers at the University of East Anglia's Climate
Research Unit and released 61 megabites of confidential files
onto the internet.
This matters because East Anglia's Climate Research Unit is
a government-funded body which is one of the four official
sources of global temperature data used by the Intergovern-
mental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
They have done everything from ignoring data that don't
support global warming to literally making numbers up to
make warming look like it is worse than it is, or is even
happening at all.
Of course, this story JUST broke, which means this hacker
could have been forging all of these documents and emails
himself and dumped it all on the Internet for laughs, but
if it is all authenticated careers will be ruined and God
knows what will happen to the political (and economic) land-
scape.
The worse part is, this will set back research and develop-
ment of alternative energies by decades.
If anything, it will make for some interesting news in the
near future!
Bizarrely,
Lewis

---------- Thanksgiving turkey filled with booze -----------
NEW YORK - A New York pub owner said his Thanksgiving
turkeys are soaked in vodka, covered in vodka gravy and
prepared with reservoirs for vodka shots. Paul Hurley,
owner of O'Casey's Tavern, said the booze turkey, which
is injected with 100-proof Georgi vodka before cooking,
was inspired by his mother 15 years ago in Ireland, the
New York Post reported Monday. "On Christmas, my mom said,
'Why not try some vodka in the turkey?'" Hurley said. Paul
Loftus, a chef at the restaurant, said a lot of the alcohol
from the vodka evaporates in the oven, so extra vodka is
added to the gravy. He said the turkey is also served with
a reservoir filled with a fruit-flavored vodka shot and a
straw. Hurley said the $29.95 meal comes with a taxi cab
ride to anywhere in New York's Manhattan borough.

-------- Man creates 26-foot-tall gingerbread man ---------
MADISON, Wis. - A Wisconsin man created the world's
tallest gingerbread man, standing 26 feet tall, as part
of a cookie decorating event at a mall. Mary Beth Collins,
the executive director of Dane County Court Appointed
Special Advocates, said Dave Bowden of Market Street Diner
created the gingerbread man as part of the "Gingerbread
Cookie Factory" fundraiser at the Hilldale Mall in
Madison, WISC-TV, Madison, reported. "This was a goal he
had," Collins said. "To create the world's tallest ginger-
bread man. So Dane County CASA approached him to see if he
would do it, and he agreed, and here we are today." The
cookie factory, which will be open the first three
Saturdays in December, will allow children to decorate
their own gingerbread cookies to raise funds for CASA,
which advocates for children in abusive situations.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As for the person that asked why you don't use your full
name, you might as well tell them the truth--that you are
really Queetzal posing as a human. By the way, I also have
two Bizarre News books and I was wondering if there is (or
will be ) a third one? --Ken
[People have asked this before...and we certainly have more
than enough material for a book, but the boss won't let me
do one until the second book sells out.]
Lewis, I have enjoyed your email for years. I put up with
the server going down (an act of a cruel God?) but cutting
your content in half just pisses me off . Put it back the
way it was. -Al
[We haven't cut down the content, just mixed it up a little
bit.]
I get so sick of people blowing smoke up your ass! The reader
commits are BS! BN is ok but it isnt the second coming!
Gesus people!! --Joey
[A second coming hasn't happened since the wife and I took a
second honeymoon two years ago.]
Lewis-I like the "Strange Laws" you occasionaly run in Bizarre
News, but isn't scary to realize that in most cases, someone
actually had to commit the offense before a law was enacted
against it? -Warren
[Yes, it is a little scary. But a lot of these types of laws
are what are known as 'Blue' laws which are designed to
enforce moral standards, such as the prohibition of buying
alcohol on Sundays or limiting the number of dildos in a
household to one (real laws, by the way).]
