Greetings fellow Bizarros:


I know some women like older men, but this is ridiculous.

A 37-year-old Swedish woman with an admitted obsession with skeletons has been convicted of disturbing the peace of the dead for allegedly using human bones for sexual purposes.

In issuing its ruling the Gothenburg District Court also convicted the woman of weapons crimes, sentencing her to probation and ordering that she undergo treatment for addiction and psychiatric problems.

The woman has continually denied committing any crimes, telling the local newspaper that she is an "odd bird" but that she is "not sexually interested in necrophilia."

She had argued that she acquired the skeletons legally and that she handled the bones in a respectful manner and that her actions weren't covered by Sweden's laws against disturbing the peace of the dead. But the woman was found to have kept some bones scattered on the floor in her home, stored skulls in plastic bags, and to have sold some bones to others.

"Criminal protection starts when a person dies, and the protection remains as long as there are remains of the deceased," the court wrote in a statement.

According to the court, the 37-year-old handled the human bones "ignominiously", something which is prohibited by Sweden's laws against disturbing the peace of the dead.

However, the court threw out a charge stemming from allegations that she had stored human skulls in her freezer and used human bones for sexual purposes.

While the 37-year-old was facing up to two years in prison, the court ruled that her lack of criminal record and the nature of her crimes meant she should not be jailed, but instead be sentenced to probation.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Drunk patron leads to drink limit for pool --*

MUNICH, Germany - A German pool complex said a drunken guest biting police officers was the last straw leading to a three-drink limit for visitors. The Erding Thermal baths near Munich, which features a bar in a warm water pool, said it has had problems with drunken guests for years, but the last straw was a 35-year-old Austrian man who was naked and causing a disturbance in one of the saunas, The Local.de reported Tuesday. The complex said the man pushed a security guard into a pool and pulled out a chunk of the other man's hair. Police arrived and the man bit a female officer in the thigh and a male officer in the arm. Police said the man injured a third officer's shoulder. Officials at the resort said the incident has resulted in the imposition of a three-drink limit for guests. "This was the final straw," said Jorg Wund, manager if the Erding Thermal Baths. "Self control does not work."


*-- Indiana Jones journal origin a mystery --*

CHICAGO - Officials at the University of Chicago said an apparent Indiana Jones fan sent a replica movie prop to the school addressed to "Henry Walton Jones Jr." Admissions counselor Grace Chapin said workers were left scratching their heads when no "Henry Walton Jones" could be found in the school directory, the Chicago Tribune reported Monday. "We gave it to a student worker, and the kid came back laughing once he Googled it," Chapin said. "Some of us are in a haze with finals, you know, so he said it was Indiana Jones' name. Then we opened it, and it was very bizarre. There was no explanation as to why it was with us, so we talked about it and decided to put it online." Workers said they opened the package and discovered an elaborate replica of fictional professor Abner Ravenwood's journal from the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" film. Chapin said Lucasfilm, the studio that made the Indiana Jones films, said it does not know where the journal came from. She said some have theorized the faux postmark on the journal itself may have confused the U.S. Postal Service if it fell out of its original packaging. Chapin said the journal may also be part of an unusual admissions project. "I don't want to get everyone sending us elaborate Indiana Jones creations, though," she said.

December is a summer month in the southern hemisphere. The US and the Middle East, where Jesus was born, are both in the northern hemisphere, where December is a winter month. -John
[Details. Details.]

Hate to tell you this, buddy, but December is not a summer month in the Middle East. The Middle East is in the northern hemisphere. December is a summer month in the southern hemisphere. Of course, you knew that, and were just jokin' with us. -Rick

To the guy who wants his last name used... if you get too well known, you could borrow Justin Beiber's stalkers. They were planning to kill and castrate him. Be careful what you wish for. -Gene [not permitted to use my last name]
[You can't take stories like that too seriously, Mr. not permitted to use my last name. Celebrities attract crazies like moths to a flame. Of course, it's easy for me to talk since no one has ever threatened to castrate me (except for my wife once or twice).]
