WEIRD & BIZARRE : Weird & Bizarre June 2003
Birth By Burrito

CHICAGO, IL. - Some expecting moms and dads choose to attend Lamaze classes to help during the process of childbirth. It seems that Illinois Gov. Rod lagojevich and wife Patti found a method that some classes might want to consider teaching as a way to speed along the delivery: Mexican Food. Already ten days overdue, the couple went out for dinner Friday night and at 5 a.m. Saturday became the proud parents of a baby girl. Six years ago, the Blagojevichs had eaten at a Mexican restaurant just before their first daughter was born. This time, though, the couple had to leave the restaurant before they finished eating. The parents decided to name their daughter Anne, as opposed to possible alternatives like "Bean" or "Pepper".

Deputy Bert is the Best Hump on the Force

SAN DIMAS, Calif. - If you thought that Bill and Ted were the weirdest things to come out of San Dimas, California, think again. During a festival in the city located 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, Bert The Camel was sworn-in as an official Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy. The 1,700-pound, six-year-old camel got his sheriff's ID card and is now a member of the Sheriff's Posse. Bert's job is not to fight crime, but to visit area schools as part of a presentation on California history. He joins other members of the sheriff's four-footed force that includes dogs and horses as well. Finally a camel that doesn't cause cancer will have an influence on the youngsters.

Hubby Mummy

KASHIBA, Japan - It's one thing to mourn the death of a loved one and hope that some miracle will bring them back to life, but it's another thing to keep that person rotting in your house. After a fire broke out at a home in Kashiba, Japan, firefighters found the badly decomposed body of a female tenant's husband ceremoniously laid out in a tatami-mat room near
the entrance to the home. The 72-year-old wife, who lives with her 36-year-old daughter, made no efforts to conceal the body, for she believed his mummified corpse would return to life. Authorities noted that the man had been dead for at least one month.
