January 20, 2002 HEY, EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES: An X-ray of a man's brain was
put on a viewing screen backward at Rhode Island Hospital, causing the
surgeon to operate on the wrong side of the patient's head. After
drilling two holes in the guy's skull, the doctor realized the error and
switched to the other side. AT LEAST HE DIDN'T BREAK ANY RULES: A youth, who appeared to
be about 18, ran through the the Dutchman Essenhaus restaurant at
lunchtime carrying an American flag and clad only in a green hat and
fake beard, then jumped into a waiting pickup truck for his getaway. The
establishment has a policy against serving anyone not wearing a shirt or
shoes, but that's OK. UH OH! Three men in a Connecticut bar took offense when they
heard two other men there speaking Spanish. They showed their
displeasure by beating them up. HERE, KITTY, KITTY, KITTY: A 500-pound trained Siberian tiger
named Qadesh, while tethered outside a veterinary office waiting for her
owner, snapped her leash and went on a peaceful stroll around Pickering,
Ontario, scaring the daylights out of everyone not aware of her gentle
nature. Police cornered her with several cruisers, but she jumped on the
roof of one of the police cars, trapping the cops inside. BUT SHE DIED HAPPY: A man and a woman in their later years met
shortly after the deaths of both their spouses, dated for two years and
decided to get married. As the 67-year-old bride-to-be was entering the
Pennsylvania church where her groom-to-be awaited, she dropped dead.
