Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Like Magneto told his prison guard in the second X-Men movie, "Never trust a beautiful woman. Especially one who's interested in you."

This advice could have been used by at least two suckers in Florida who were seduced (for lack of a better word) by a woman who robbed them blind after she convinced them to take her home.

The scam came to light when one victim recognized the women, 21-year-old Yomna Fouad, outside of a nightclub and alerted security. They held her until police arrived.

According to the victim, he had met Fouad at another nightclub in Miami Beach the previous week and took her home with him. As this kind of thing happens, one thing led to another and the two had sex before the victim passed out.

Police reported that the man said he woke up to find Fouad gone, along with his clothing, cash and jewelry, including a Rolex watch. The total loss was about $32,000.

"I woke up drugged, not knowing what happened, and all my stuff was gone," the man told local news.

Detectives later tied Fouad to another robbery last year. According to an arrest report, Fouad and a friend met another victim at yet another nightclub for a similar scam.

Authorities said Fouad is from Columbia, South Carolina, and identified her job title in the arrest reports as "prostitute." She is also accused of similar robberies throughout the East Coast.

Fouad is being held in lieu of a $50,000 bond, which she should be able to afford after all those Rolex watches she's stolen.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*--- Police Probing Mystery of Shaven Pussys ---*
Residents of a Virginia neighborhood have put up signs warning pet owners that cats in the area are being abducted and resurfacing partially shaved. Capt. Kelly Walker of the Waynesboro Police Department confirmed at least two households have recently reported finding their indoor/outdoor cats with their undersides shaved. Walker said the shaving appears to have been done with some kind of razor. Walker said the number of targeted cats keeps growing as the investigation continues. Police said all of the shaven cats have been domesticated felines owned by neighborhood residents. Walker gave neighbors clearance to post warning signs in the neighborhood. "Shaving cats?!" the signs read. "Several neighborhood cats have been abducted and had their lower abdomens and groin areas shaved. If you have information about this suspicious activity please contact the police department. Our cats will thank you!"

It's Not Like He Was Using His Head For Much Anyway
A Colorado teenager suffered injuries and is facing charges after jumping into an oversized fish tank at a sporting goods store. Teens across the county have been encouraging each other to carry out the mischievous prank and upload the videos of their acts to social media. While most teens have managed to get away without injury or being caught, one boy was not so lucky. The teenager, who has not been named, was at the Bass Pro Shop in Denver, when he went to the second level of the store. There he climbed over a railing, and jumped off the ledge and into the aquarium. After jumping off the 30-foot-high ledge, the teen hit his head on some rocks and he was injured. The teen was taken to a hospital, where it was determined that he had cracked his skull. The store also chose to press charges against the teen. He will meet with investigators after recovering at the hospital.

Hey Lewis, I'm sure I won't be the only one -- "Hell hath no fury" is an interpreted line based on a quotation from The Mourning Bride, a play by William Congreve, which reads in full "Heav'n has no rage like love to hatred turn'd / Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd." -Andrew


LEWIS; Your story of the woman who dismembered the corpse of her boyfriend's ex reminds me of the hatred my mom had for my dad's ex. Although my mom never did anything that crazy after the woman died my mom frequently referred to her as "the dead bitch." -R.S.
[That's a rational woman for you.]


Like every breathing creature, I, too have a dog in this fight. Pollution sucks. However, I do like good science, and recognize anyone can get a official looking 'peer reviewed' paper published for a price.
[Yes, there has been a lot of controversy in the last few years over 'cooked numbers' and excluded data. But like you I agree that pollution and over exploitation is a real and exigent problem, whether anthropogenic global climate change is real or not.]
