Latest Inept Criminals
Jack Schreiner, 30, was arrested Friday for a heist of a Chase Manhattan branch in Queens, N.Y., on Monday (which was not ineptly done, with the robber having taken care not to leave the holdup note behind). But why he decided to go to the very same place on Friday with $300 of his $7,700 booty and try to open checking and savings accounts is just unfathomable. Yup, they recognized him. And then there’s Nandor C. Santho, 46, who was arrested in Clinton Township, Ohio, on Turkey Day and who may just have been really unlucky. Apparently, while Santho and his dog were returning from a hunting trip, the dog hit the speed-dial button for 911 and inadvertently panted into the phone, drawing the attention of the emergency dispatcher, who sent officers to Santho’s home (arriving before he did), where they discovered 150 marijuana plants in the basement.

Civilization in Decline
Palestinian Mazen Al-Najjar, whose case Yr Ed has been championing in that Immigration held him for 3½ years with no charge against him, was summarily re-arrested yesterday in Tampa after a federal appeals court overturned a lower court order freeing him. The feds promise to deport him quickly (which is okay with me), but his lawyer said that will be nearly impossible because no country will take him and thus he’ll be back in prison indefinitely (which is not okay with me). [Tampa Tribune, 11-25-01]

Rose Wright was hospitalized briefly in Louisville, Ky., on Friday after being roughed up (black eye) by shoppers fighting for position as a Wal-Mart opened.
Paul Claren, 52, a psychiatric nurse at an Ohio state hospital for 18 yrs before he was fired, was ordered to a similar facility, himself (paranoia, OCD), after he retaliated by shooting out the home windows of various ex-co-workers he didn’t like (Akron).

NRA Proud: Man Defends Wife's Breasts
Mr. Curtis Reed, 42, is no longer with us upon being shot to death after intruding into a Chicago home early Thursday morning. According to police, the man stormed into a couple’s bedroom, shouting to the 57-yr-old woman inside, “Show me your [Ed.: The Sun-Times inserted ‘breasts’ so he probably yelled the t-word],” whereupon the woman’s husband fired. (On the other hand, the NRA was probably chagrined to know that, at a Delta ticket counter at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport yesterday, a man attempting to show that his hunting rifle was not loaded before checking it, accidentally fired a round. No one was hurt.) [Chicago Sun-Times, 11-23-01] [Tampa Tribune-AP, 11-24-01] [Link is to Chicago story.]

Anti-American Protester Sticks Finger in U.S. Eye
Ukraine’s Ms. Olena Solod, whose most recent demonstration was an attempt to lead a boycott at a Zaporizhia McDonald’s, tried a new tactic this week, petitioning a court to change her name to “Osama bin Laden.” She said she’ll run for parliament next March. (Less was known about yesterday’s more conventional protester, the man who set himself afire in the Cherry Vale Mall near Rockford, Ill., with only the shouted message “Freedom and liberty for all” as a clue; he was in critical condition, but this being the American Holy season, the mall remained open.)

Civilization in Decline
The State Dept., in one of the gov’t’s periodic efforts to thwart Americans’ natural herd-thinning instincts, this week issued a routine advisory that recreational travel in Afghanistan is unsafe.
And, from a BBC interview of Madonna yesterday, during which she waxed rhapsodic about the thrill of pheasant-shooting: “I eat birds. You have more of a respect for the things you eat when you go through or see the process of killing them.”

A 36-yr-old Brit woman won a settlement of about $17,000 from the doctor who performed her abortion but somehow missed the fact that there were twins.
Yr Ed graduated from the late, great boarding school Howey Academy, Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla. (pop. today, 956; 30 miles north of Orlando), which is never in the news but was this week as the town council had to officially repudiate last month’s inexplicable discourse by Mayor Greg Bittner on how an elixir called “colloidal silver” should be residents’ remedy of choice if they come down with anthrax and that what the town needs to do is buy a colloidal-silver generator. (FDA says only that colloidal silver can turn your skin permanently blue and gray.)

Connecticut Man's Sewer Obsession
Joseph Chopnowski, 40, was charged with first-degree criminal mischief in Berlin, Conn., after items that blocked a sewer line (newspapers, batteries, clothes, plastic bags, soda cans, a screwdriver, and a wrench) were traced back to his house, and after neighbors ratted him out as a man who spent many hours a day working at the sewer “clean-out” in his front yard. For some reason, apparently, Chopnowski had for years been flushing a lot of things down his toilet and then running huge amounts of water (5x what was typical for his neighbors) into the sewer to flush them along (but several times before had been forced to call a contractor to unblock his line).

Mullah Omar Continues to Build Case for Insanity Defense
Fighting continues this morning in Kandahar despite reports last weekend that the Taliban were about ready to give it up and head for Pakistan, with the turnabout coming when Omar had this dream, see, and according to a colleague, Omar said, “I have had a dream in which I am in charge for as long as I live.” The Taliban’s PR guy, Syed Tayyab Agha, 25, told reporters on Tuesday (in the appropriate location of the town of Spin Boldak) that the war is going pretty well so far. And things are going so well that, according to yesterday’s London Daily Telegraph, Omar is preoccupied with his subjects’ proper centering of the turban: They can’t be too far back or to the side, read a very recent edict.

Afghanis Try to Understand What $25M Means
An AP dispatch from Kabul yesterday asked several people on the street to estimate what they could do with the $25M the U.S. is offering for Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts, and some were overwhelmed. Feed my family for 10 yrs? (Try “for next 5,000 centuries.”) 100 party balloons? (Try 100M.) Some were too busy looking for food to worry about the hypothetical reward; others said they’d go get the guy for free. [Newsday-AP, 11-22-01]

Revealed: Vice and Virtue in Talibanic Afghanistan
Long before Sept. 11, News of the Weird breathlessly reported, on various occasions, the latest edicts from the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. The N.Y. Times this morning goes into great detail, based on the left-behind official penal register in Herat. Punishable (“unclean”) things: “pork, pig, pig oil, anything made from human hair, satellite dishes, cinematography, any equipment that produces the joy of music, pool tables, chess, masks, alcohol, tapes, computer, VCR’s, televisions, anything that propagates sex and is full of music, wine, lobster, nail polish, firecrackers, statues, sewing catalogs, pictures, Christmas cards.” Also, kites are a big moral problem there, apparently. And some gov’t officials seemed more interested in virtue-promotion than in the missions of their departments; according to one critic, the Taliban disliked educated people, period.

F. Lee Bailey Is Too Sleazy to Practice Law Even in Florida
The state Supreme Court disbarred Bailey yesterday (he can reapply after 5 yrs, but he’s now 68) for “some of the most egregious rules violations possible, evidencing a complete disregard for the rules governing attorneys.” He ripped off a drug-smuggling client, but said the feds had a secret deal with him to let it happen, only no one now wants to own up to it.

Editor's Notes (Thursday, November 22, 2001)
* Yr Ed himself isn’t exactly the first one on the scene with the weird news, of course, but this is ridiculous: Yesterday, Matt Drudge ran a story [in Drudgespeak, he “moved” the story] on how Kopi Luwak is captivating avant-garde coffee-drinkers, seein’ as how it’s the most expensive in the world, and seein’ as how that’s because the beans have all been marsupial-consumed and pooped back out again before making their way to market. Yr Ed would like to remind readers that Kopi Luwak’s U.S. debut was reported in Newza the Weird in 1993 and has already been Updated twice (though not No-Longer-Weirded yet).

The Relentless Wisconsin Thief
Authorities in St. Croix Falls, Wis., finally got around this week to trying to extradite accused shoplifter James J. Cesarez, who is back home in Minnesota. Last June, he allegedly took some things from the Wal-Mart (a distinctive upscale toy, some pharms, a lithium battery, etc.), was arrested and bonded out, and then the next night, someone broke into the police station, bypassed a lot of cool guns ‘n’ stuff, and took only the boxful of stuff confiscated with Cesarez, and by the way, a toy resembling the one taken was later spotted in Cesarez’s house. Authorities say the pharms and the battery are associated with meth production. [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 11-19-01]

City Battles Citizen over Right to Throw Something Away
The city council of Edmonds, Wash., voted to dispose of (as, to a landfill) a 60-yr-old “kitschy” totem pole that had been donated to the city, and demolition company employee Sydney Locke plucked it out of the trash bin and took it home. The city is now suing Locke to get it back, not so they can re-employ it, but so they can make sure it gets to and stays in the landfill. Seriously. [Seattle Times, 11-19-01]

How to Tell Whether a DUI Is Really Impaired
Hampden, Maine (Bangor suburb), cop pursues driver to question him about expired plates. Driver keeps going. Driver pulls into driveway to pretend like he’s home, hoping that will persuade cop to give it up. Cop stops in front of house. Driver knocks on door, asks to use phone. No. Driver knocks on neighbor’s door, same thing. Cop finally walks over to question driver, who pretends that the earlier pursuit never happened. Cop notices odor of alcohol, writes summons. Also, driver is 19; also driver has additional warrant outstanding. And finally, oh, that house that the driver originally stopped at to pretend like he was home: Well, that was the cop’s house, and the cop was sort of watching the whole thing, perhaps immobilized by incredulity, perhaps just playing rope-a-dope with the driver.

Editor's Notes (Tuesday, November 20, 2001)
* A respectful reader from Pennsylvania wrote to complain that a NOTW story in .704 (8-5-01) was insensitive in describing the death of a little boy whose slightly-older brother accidentally caused his death while fooling around with July 4 explosives. As usual in tragedies, Yr Ed did not name the victim and in fact wishes no harm at all to the victim’s family or friends. However, as I wrote the reader:
“In my opinion, there is a larger point to be made by stories that highlight the foolishness of Americans' use of deadly explosives to celebrate the 4th of July (and people of other cultures' use to celebrate their own holidays and events). At least we can rationalize holiday highway deaths, in that, as a whole, highway travel leads to many safe family reunions. There is no such necessity with deadly explosives. And the issue with my story is not even ‘encouraging patriotism’ versus ‘deadly explosives’ (because I, the writer, played no role in the deaths); the issue with my story is only ‘let's bury this story, out of respect to a particular family in Pennsylvania’ versus ‘are Americans so spiritually bankrupt that they need to celebrate patriotism with a proliferation of deadly explosives’? In my view, my story is entirely fair.”

Good Morning. See the Editor's Notes for today about some changes in Weird Planet Daily.
Rotten.com's Scoop
It’s highly unconfirmed so far, but even the N.Y. Times took notice: Among the papers abandoned in an al-Queda hdqtrs in Kabul were instructions on building an atom bomb, but Rotten.com’s Jason Scott looked at a page via BBC photos and concluded that it came from a 1979 article in the academic parody Annals of Improbable Research nee Journal of Irreproducible Results. Scott seems to have seen language that he says is similar from both.

Annas Join the Public-Policy Arena
The Sunday Times (London)’s interview with “Sahara,” allegedly a Stanford computer-science student who runs a defiant website supporting anorexics, has a little less authentication than Yr Ed would like, but you can have a look and decide for yourselves. Sahara has supposedly set out to raise $1M to challenge health experts who call anorexia an illness (it is, she says, simply a lifestyle choice), reminding us that homosexuality was once labeled an illness and that, increasingly, large people are demanding acceptance on their own terms, too.

Oh, Those Clever Afghanis
Dubai’s fairly-mainstream Gulf News had an interview Saturday with a peasant who had figured out how to make the U.S. bombing pay off: recovering scrap metal from exploded munitions. He took a light bulb attached to a small battery and set it on a hill outside of the town of Chell Zeena at night, hoping to draw an attack. Nothing. The next night [Yr Ed apologizes, here] he tied a dog next to the bulb, thinking that movement/heat would make the site more prominent. Bingo. The U.S. hit it. About 2 lbs. of metal (sold eventually in Pakistan) will get you a loaf of bread. [Gulf News, 11-17-01]

Detroit-Area Prosecutor Goes Nuts
Cheryl Matthews got herself a conviction of Evelyn Djoumessi for (along with Mr. Djoumessi) the rape, assault, “imprisonment,” and general abuse of a Cameroons teenager they had brought into their home as a nanny. But then Judge Alice Gilbert “sentenced” Mrs. Djoumessi to probation plus a prohibition on hiring anyone to do housework for 3 yrs. “You must do all your own housework—cleaning, laundry, everything,” said Gilbert. Matthews was beside herself, since she does all her own housework and parenting. [Detroit Free Press, 11-16-01]

The F State
Rapist Bobby Joe Helms, fighting for release after having served his sentence (Fla. has one of those laws), is having trouble convincing whatever board it is that judges these things because he actually had 3 yrs tacked onto his sentence because he committed “deviant behavior” in prison. [I mean, considering the norm in prison, what kind of behavior is it that will get you 3 more yrs?] [Tampa Tribune, 11-17-01]
Civilization in Decline
The Washington Post and N.Y. Times reported over the weekend on the extent of the CIA’s involvement in Afghanistan: They carry out their own private (unmanned) bombing runs and sometimes surprise U.S. military about to hit the same targets.
The Osama t-shirts sweeping Pakistan 3 weeks ago are now being remaindered, as the Taliban-sympathizers face a harsh, human-nature reality: Nobody likes a loser. That applies also to Wall Street, where analysts are coming to the conclusion that interest rates and leading economic indicators are droplets next to the tidal wave that could be produced by a U.S. military success.
One of the foulest-mouthed women in upscale America, Warnaco Group CEO Linda J. Wachner, was dismissed on Friday; she had been called “vile” by no less than Mr. Calvin Klein.
Brave Jewish reporter Geraldo Rivera shipped out for Paki/Afghani on Saturday, vowing not to take any crap from anybody.
The N.Y. Times reports that the application form that China had to fill out to join the World Trade Organization was 900 pages long.
Below the Fold for Monday
Former Taiwanese president Lee Teng-hui, playing his wild card in endorsing 2 candidates in the Dec. 1 election, said on the campaign trail Saturday that if the voters didn’t make wise choices, he’d kill himself.
The commission in Britain that compensates victims of violent crime will apparently break new ground soon and award payments of from $1.7G-$850G (avg. $34G) to people who merely witnessed their relatives die on live TV in the attack on the World Trade Center.

Editor's Notes (Monday, November 19, 2001)
* Yr Ed (who works without assistants, except for those people around the world who kindly tip me to stories) is constantly searching for ways to improve his efficiency, and here are two changes, starting today: (1) I love the idea of giving readers click-throughs to the actual stories in Weird Planet Daily (and the newspapers love it, too), but it’s a pain in the orenthal doing all that work so I’m going to stop it except for perhaps the best story of the day (or, some days, more; stories that readers simply must savor in the original). I’ll continue to cite the source for every story, so if you really want to look it up online, you (in most cases) can find it. (2) To reduce the constant problem of inventing headlines that will make you want to read, rather than ignore, a story, I will start grouping more of the stories under the headings Recurring Themes (stories I’ve heard before, but perpetrated anew by different people); Below the Fold (news less startling than the lead items); and Civilization in Decline (news that disturbs, especially appealing to the more, er, uh, er, abstract thinkers out there) (like me).
More Editor's Notes (Monday, November 19, 2001)
* Winner of the New York Post’s 200th-anniversary headline contest last week (readers voting): the 4-15-83 “Headless Body in Topless Bar”
* Dave Barry yesterday took up a full column on the weirdo events from Tonga [Weird Planet Daily, 10-10-01]. Yr Ed’s report only skimmed the surface, with the scam pulled off by the nation’s official Court Jester in selling rich people designer passports. Click the Link at the bottom of this paragraph for Barry’s column.
* The N.Y. Times says today that Esquire has decided to suspend its “Dubious Achievement Awards” for this yr, at least. Said the editor, “It was [getting] a little bit nasty.”
* For the past three months, the percentage of stories that appeared in the weekly News of the Weird column after having appeared in Weird Planet Daily is 55. Thus, if you are kind enough to tip me to a story, and you don’t see it in WPD within my 3-day freshness limit, it certainly still might show up in News of the Weird. In any event, I thank you very much for your help, and my secretarial staff (n=0) and research staff (n=0) thank you, too.
