ROCK YOUR ... BZZZZ! AIEEEE! A man was driving along in Days Creek, Ore., singing along to the Justin Timberlake song, "Rock Your Body," playing on the radio, when a bee flew into his mouth causing him to lose control of the car.
He went down a 15-foot embankment and struck a tree. He also bit his tongue, but the bee did not.

SPLAT! SPLAT! BANG! BANG! Incensed at youths throwing tomatoes at his car from a cornfield in Holmesville, Ohio, a driver returned fire - with a shotgun. One dead. Murder is charged.

OK, I THINK I SEE THE PROBLEM: A woman in Thailand has been suffering from stomach pains for six years, ever since she had a hysterectomy. An X-ray revealed that her surgeon had forgotten to remove an 11-inch-long medical instrument from her abdomen. They will do so soon.

I SAID, 'NOW!' As Hurricane Isabel threatened the east coast of the United States, a 70-year-old woman in Port St. Lucie, Fla., asked her husband to help  her make their house ready for the storm.
The husband, who was watching a football game on television, said he would do it at halftime. So she threw a knife at him, hitting him in the leg. She was arrested.

A WORTHY RECIPIENT: Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., was honored for the sixth time for its efforts to curb binge drinking.
The award came two days after a student died after drinking for more than 12 hours at his frat house on the University's campus.
