September 15, 2002 DO YOU HEAR ANYTHING? Robbers rented an empty shop across from the state-run art museum in Asuncion, Paraguay, then spent the next two months tunneling under the street from the shop to the museum where they stole five paintings worth more than $1 million. THE CARS FEEL VERY SAFE: Showing that the locals now feel that peace is firmly established in war-ravaged Belgrade, Yugoslavia - the target of nightly air raids only three years ago - city officials have begun converting bomb shelters into underground parking garages. I'LL BE OUT IN A MINUTE! A passenger on a Frankfurt to Berlin Lufthansa flight spent such a long time on the toilet that the stewardess became suspicious and alerted security officials. He was questioned and found not to be a terrorist. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT? After three days of heavy
drinking, a Georgia man got into a furious argument with his wife that
ended when she started pouring his liquor supply into the kitchen sink,
and he stormed upstairs. THIS WASN'T HIS DAY: A young man riding along in a pickup truck with his friend to Carlsbad, N.M., accidentally shot himself in the hand with the his .357-caliber handgun. If that wasn't bad enough, they ran out of gas before they could get to the hospital. The cops had to come get him.
