Heard over the radio broadcast of a Chicago baseball game. . . 

In the stands here I see a young couple who must be in love -- they're 
kissing on every pitch. He's kissing her on the strikes, and she's 
kissing him on the balls.

According to the Washington Times (7/2/97) when a Virginia High School 
student exposed mice to hard rock music 10 hours a day for three weeks, 
their ability to navigate a maze they already knew decreased 
significantly. A control group, exposed to classical music, actually 
improved their maze time. The experiment was cut short because the hard 
rock mice ate each other.

A baffled British woman who lost a mobile phone dialed the number and 
heard it ringing inside her friend's dog.

Rachel Murray, 27, had left the cellphone under her Christmas tree as a 
surprise gift for her flatmate, The Sun newspaper reported on Friday. 

But chum Tony Dangerfield's bloodhound Charlie crept into the room and 
greedily wolfed down the mobile phone, leaving only a pile of torn paper.

After a frantic search for the phone, Murray obtained the number from the 
telephone company, dialed and heard muffled ringing from sleeping 
Charlie's stomach.

"At first I thought Charlie was lying on the phone -- then I realized 
where it was," she said. "I couldn't believe he'd swallowed it."

The dog was rushed to a vet, who advised Murray and Dangerfield to let 
nature take its course. 

Twenty four hours later the phone duly emerged -- in perfect working 
order.
