London, England:

The airline Virgin Atlantic plans to install bedrooms
complete with showers, Jacuzzis and double beds in its
747 jumbos to encourage travelers to join the "Mile High
Club", a report said Wednesday.
Ten to 12 rooms will be installed in the hold of airplanes
and be accessed by a staircase from the main cabin, the Sun
newspaper said.
The price of a trip from London to New York would be around
2,900 pounds ($4,600).
"You can do it on cruise ships and trains, why not on a plane?
Passengers will find it comfy and romantic," airline boss
Richard Branson was quoted as saying.
The paper said Branson also plans a Kiddie Class, where airline
nannies and clowns will entertain children. 

Kentucky: Two men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by
   running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck.
   Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they
   pulled the bumper off their truck. Scared, they left the scene and
   drove home. With the chain still attached to the machine. With their
   bumper still attached to the chain. With their vehicle's license plate
   still attached to the bumper. A woman was reporting her car as stolen,
   and mentioned that there was a car phone in it. The policeman taking
   the report called the phone, and told the guy that answered that he
   had read the ad in the newspaper and wanted to buy the car. They
   arranged to meet, and the thief was arrested.


  

TIME WARPED

I had gathered my first-grade class around me to teach them to tell time
using a conventional-style analog clock.  We'll be learning about the
hour hand and the minute hand, I explained.  One of my students
interrupted and said, "I don't need to learn on that kind of clock.  My
dad bought me this digital watch, and right now it's 10 minutes to 38."
