Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Several adults and children have died after a bomb exploded while they were trying to break it, according to police in the Philippines. Zamboanga del Norte police said that they have launched an investigation into the incident that killed 8 people and injured 5.

On Wednesday afternoon, Marcelo Antogon found the 81mm mortar in a river. He grabbed the bomb and brought it to the factory where he worked and showed it to his coworkers. A large crowd of adults and children gathered as Antogon began hammering a nail into the bomb in order to see what was inside.

After several strikes, the bomb exploded.

Antogon, Roel Balamban, Ladi Balamban, Robert Timbulaan, and his two brothers, 6 and 9, died at the scene. The two others who died at the scene were not identified. 5 other people were rushed to a hospital, where they are being treated for serious injuries.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*----------- Should Have Called AAA -----------*

A car thief was nabbed after he called the victim for help because the vehicle wouldn't start. Temperatures in Sartell, Minnesota, dropped to -9 degrees while a woman was shopping at Walmart. The woman decided to use her automatic starter to warm up her Jeep Grand Cherokee before she went out to the parking lot. However, when the woman arrived at the parking spot, her SUV was not there. She called the police, who reviewed the surveillance video, which showed a man climbing into the vehicle at around 8:30 p.m. and driving away. It did not take long for police to arrest the suspect who was identified as 37-year-old Edward Leroy Wilson. According to the police, two hours later, at around 10:30 p.m., the owner of the car received a phone call from a man who began asking questions about her Jeep. Wilson claimed to be a worker of an auto glass repair company. He said that he had repaired the vehicle and that he needed to get the SUV started in order to return it to her. He wanted the owner to use OnStar to auto-start it. Police were able to track Wilson down and he was arrested.

*----------- Flying Can Be Stressful -----------*

The trips of nearly 200 passengers were disrupted after a man decided to strip naked and lock himself inside an airplane bathroom, according to police in Alaska. Anchorage police and the FBI said that they have removed the disruptive passenger from Alaska Airlines Flight 146 after refusing the orders of the flight crew. The naked passenger was taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation, and so far, no charges have been filed. There were 178 passengers on board the Boeing 737. About an hour into the flight, the man, who was not identified, stripped naked and locked himself in the bathroom. Flight attendants attempted to coax the man out of the bathroom but he refused. The pilot then decided to turn around and fly back to the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and have the police deal with the disruptive passenger. FBI and Anchorage police greeted the plane at the gate and removed the passenger.




*-------------- READER COMMENTS --------------*

Lewis, my wife once asked me which of her friends I'd want to have a 3-way with. When I gave her two names she wouldn't talk to me for a month.


How big of a moron do you have to be to let some asshole swing away at your belly with a sword? I don't think the melon chopping world record is worth getting eviscerated.


Lew, I've never really seen the attraction of a three-way. Unless you have 2 dicks what are you going to do with 2 women at the same time? Plus, you never know when somebody is going to get jealous and the next thing you know you get a coffee table upside the head.
[That's good thinking.]
