December 14, 2003 I'VE SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE: Responding to a for-sale ad for a
vintage 1968 Mercury Cougar, a former New York police sergeant looked
the car over and took pictures of it to send to a retired detective who
he knew was a big fan of the Cougar. NO, NO, A LEFT, TAKE A LEFT! Two men in Tallahassee, Fla., fleeing the police in a stolen car, tried to shake them by taking a shortcut through the grounds of the governor's mansion. They smashed through a gate, roared across the grounds and exited by smashing through another gate. They were later arrested. SANTA GOES TO PRISON: A 66-year-old man who often played Santa Claus in Warren, Mich., got into an argument with his daughter when they were putting up his Christmas decorations. He stabbed her to death. He will be in prison for most of the rest of his life. THE STUDENTS AREN'T REALLY THAT INTERESTING: Female teachers
in Lucknow, India, have been banned from knitting in the classroom and
told to concentrate more on the students. EL GRANDE NO MORE: Forestry officials in Tasmania, who launched a burning operation to regenerate the woodland, wound up accidentally destroying the nation's largest tree, so big it is known as El Grande.
