--------------- House Wins, Dealer Buys Farm ---------------
HONG KONG - High roller, Frederick Beacham took the life of
blackjack dealer Anna Chong after he lost 46 straight hands.
According to police, Beacham said, "I was betting fairly
heavy...no matter what I did she found a way to beat me. I'd
get a 19 and she'd get a 20. I'd get a 20, she'd get a 21.
It was totally unreal. Finally I just went crazy and blew
that smile right off of her face. The next thing I knew,
the police were hauling me to jail. I guess it just wasn't
my lucky day."
[Anna's either.]

------- Stupid Thief Takes Timeout for a Kodak Moment -----
NEW YORK - A car thief was all smiles while he took pictures
of himself stealing a car, until he forgot to take the camera.
While driving the car on the Belt Parkway in Queens, the
young crook reportedly picked up a camera that was inside the
car and took two photos while he was at the wheel. The stolen
car was found in Nassau County a month later, with the camera
still inside. The victim didn't notice the two exposures and
brought the film in for development a few months later. She
thought she had the wrong film when the unfamiliar face
appeared in her photos.

----Something Fishy Going on at Congressional Hearing -----
MISSOULA, Montana - An Idaho man pleaded guilty for throwing
a salmon patty at a politician during a congressional hearing
to discuss the summer's wildfires in Montana and Idaho. Rep.
Helen Chenoweth-Hage was not injured in the attack by 20-year-
old Randall Mark of Moscow, Idaho. However, the hearing at the
University of Montana, came to a halt while she cleaned salmon
from her hair and jacket. Mark made a brief appearance in the
US District Court at Missoula, Montana, to change his plea
from innocent to guilty. In exchange, federal prosecutors
dropped a second charge accusing him of assaulting another
politician, Rep Rick Hill. Defense attorney Craig Shannon
said Mark expected to be arrested but was intent on protesting.
Mark could receive up to a year in prison when he is sentenced
in February 6

the rice grains slip into her inner ear. Ratti along with
several family members tried in vain to remove the tiny piece.
The bride was then rushed to the hospital where doctors
successfully removed the grain of rice. The wedding reception
was delayed as guests anxiously awaited the bride's return

ST. CHARLES, Missouri - Lindenwood University wrestler

phone messages and someone else answered. According to Michel,
"I thought it was a joke from one of my friends and went along
with it for awhile. But then I was like, 'who is this?'" The
man eventually told Michel he was just sitting there in the
house and made assurances that he wasn't going to steal
anything. Michel called three of his wrestling teammates who
lived nearby who held the man until police arrived.
