Paul Carthy, 25, pleaded guilty in Exeter, England, in September
to theft subsequent to his original charge of shoplifting from a
liquor store. In the second theft, he had stolen the magnetic
letters off the name board that was held up to his face when his
mug shot was taken. 

There once was a conservative college in the mid-west that had 
a standing rule, the heat was not to be turned on in the 
dormitories prior to a certain date. 

Unfortunately, one year, winter decided to rear its ugly head 
early. Students in both the men's and women's dormitories 
complained about the bitter cold, but were told that nothing 
could be done. 

After days of no heat and no respite in immediate sight, the 
ladies realized that their dorm faced the equally cold men's 
dorm. They turned a bed sheet into a banner with the 
message,

"TURN ON THE HEAT OR WE'LL TURN ON THE BOYS!"

Mourners at the funeral of Anna Bochinsky in Moinesti, Rumania, were 
naturally somewhat taken aback when she abruptly leapt from her coffin
as it was being carried to the grave. Before they could react to this 
unexpected outburst, the woman bounded into the nearest road, where she 
was run over and killed by a passing car.
