July 27, 2003 VROOM! KA-BOOOM! A man in Sollenau, Austria, had stored two tanks of acetylene gas in the trunk of his car but forgot to close the valves. When he tried to start the car with the remote control device on his key fob, a spark ignited the gas and blew his vehicle to pieces. NUDE TEENAGERS? WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG: Parents who send their kids to Shangri La Ranch in Arizona, a nude summer camp for children 11 to 18, say it promotes a healthy body image for their kids. However, asked his opinion, one psychologist called it "a colossally bad idea." YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK: After his plumbing backed up, a Fort
Pierce, Fla., man discovered he has a septic tank and has never been
connected to the city's sewer lines. HEY, I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP: A Texas man met a suicidal
Wisconsin woman in a suicide chat room on the Internet, and offered to
help her fulfill her death wish and strangle her to death. He said he
would do it while they were having sex, and he would bury here in a
state forest with a rose on her chest. JUSTICE AT LAST: In the three weeks since two men bought a
convenience store in Saint-Hubert, Montreal, Canada, burglars broke into
it three times. So the two men took to spending the night in the
storeroom, and it paid off. They soon surprised two burglars at 3 a.m.
One fled, but they caught the other one and beat him with a baseball
bat.
