July 1, 2001 A REAL CLASSY GUY: A University of Rhode Island student
thought it would be fun to have one of his fraternity brothers secretly
videotape him and his girlfriend having sex. The girlfriend later found
out about it. Lawyers were called. BUT OFFICER, THEY'RE THE CRIMINALS: A man drove north from
Miami in a rented car with 17 kilos of cocaine in the trunk, but, when
he got to New York City, he was forced off the road by gun-toting thugs
in another car who were out to rob him of the drugs. The man got out,
and, despite the fact that he was transporting contraband, ran to a
nearby police station for help, saying he was the victim of a
carjacking. OH NO! HERE THEY COME AGAIN! Electricians are having a very
tough time replacing decorative lights on a Mississippi River bridge in
Davenport, Iowa, because peregrine falcons keep attacking them. The
falcons have built nests underneath the bridge, and are protecting their
babies from the workers who they consider a threat. WHEN ON THE LAM, OBEY ALL LAWS: A man who killed his wife
escaped from a New Mexico prison in 1978 and managed to stay free until
last month when he was finally arrested in the state of Washington. His
crime: driving alone in the car pool lane. ALL HE NEEDS IS A CHANCE: A traffic-light installer in Florida
was fired when it was discovered that he was colorblind, because his job
required him to be able to tell the difference between red and green
wires.
