January 2, 2005 WHAT'S THAT, A YULE LOG? A family in Kenmore, Ohio, turned on their local public access television station Christmas morning to see the scheduled show featuring church choirs singing the music of the season. Instead, they got porn. DON'T YOU POINT THAT FINGER AT ME! CHOMP! Alex Nyarubakora got into an argument with his wife in a bar in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe, and it got so loud that another man tried to intervene. A fistfight ensued, during which Nyarubakora bit off the other man's finger, chewed it and swallowed it. WHO, ME? A 22-year-old man cut down an 18-foot blue spruce tree in front of an apartment building in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Christmas Eve, and dragged it to his residence - which was directly across the street. This left a clear trail of drag marks and pine needles for police to follow, which they did. HEY, DON'T GO ON THE WARPATH OVER IT: A Mi'kmaq Indian who works at a sporting-goods store in Nova Scotia has taken her boss to court for calling her "kemo sabe,'' the name Tonto used to call his friend the Lone Ranger. She's not sure, but she thinks it might be racist. I GOT HIGH JUST COUNTING IT: A marijuana dealer was making deposits of between $800 and $1,500 every week at the First National Bank of Colorado. And a teller noticed that the cash - usually all in $20 bills - smelled like marijuana. She called the cops who found a great deal of the illegal weed at his home.
