A fishy story...  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'>Quote: </td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> So very, very strange.... Tue Jun 7,10:38 AM ET MELBOURNE (Reuters) - An Australian woman was found to be carrying 51 live tropical fish after custom officials were alerted by "flipping" noises coming from beneath her skirt as she arrived at Melbourne airport. On closer inspection, officers discovered the woman had strapped on an apron of plastic water-filled bags containing the fish, the Australian Customs Service said in a statement on Tuesday. "During the search, customs officers became suspicious after hearing 'flipping' noises coming from the vicinity of her waist," said the statement. The 43-year-old woman arrived in Melbourne on a flight from Singapore last Friday. Customs are still trying to determine what type of fish she brought into the country and have not yet charged her with an offence. She could face charges for breaking quarantine and customs laws for bringing in the fish without giving a declaration. A search of the woman's home in Melbourne found another five fish. </td></tr></table>

The women gathered at a local school, smeared their faces with black powder and danced naked last week at Darbang village, about 175 miles west of the capital, Katmandu. "People in this area believe the (Hindu god) Mahadev will be happy and provide rain once women perform such a nude dance," the Kathmandu Post quoted local teacher as saying.

Deputy's Patrol Car Stolen by Guest COMPTON, Calif. (AP) -- A guest went on a ride-along with a sheriff's deputy, then stole the deputy's patrol car early Wednesday and led police on a chase through three cities, authorities said. Steven Funderburk, 20, was riding with Los Angeles County Deputy Alexander Miller under a program that allows anyone to accompany an officer if they have no felony convictions and fill out an application, authorities said. When Miller's shift ended after 1 a.m., Funderburk asked to retrieve his bag from the car in the parking lot. When Miller returned to check on Funderburk, the car was gone, sheriff's Sgt. Don Manumaleuna said. Miller was able to talk to Funderburk on the patrol car's radio and persuaded him to surrender without incident after a chase through Compton, Long Beach and Westminster, Manumaleuna said. He was arrested for investigation of possession of a stolen vehicle and evading arrest. Manumaleuna said Funderburk developed a good rapport with Miller during the ride-along and did nothing to arouse suspicion. "It's very bizarre," he said. "We're still trying to figure this one out." Authorities said Funderburk had told Miller that he was part of a youth program at the Long Beach Police Department, but the department had no record of his participation. 2005 The Associated Press</td></tr></table>  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Well, that would probably surprise me, too.  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'>Quote: </td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> 'Underwear Thieves' Return in Cambodia PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - Robbers who strike while wearing only underwear, their bodies slathered with oil to make them slippery and harder to catch, have resurfaced in Cambodia.

Police thought they had quashed the "underwear gang" last year, the report said. They apparently wear only underwear in an attempt to make themselves harder to identify. Residents had started a community watch program to prevent such crimes, Sok Tum said. But "the underwear thieves resurfaced in my region because the villagers stopped," he said.</td></tr></table>

The man, whose name has not been released, was booked at the LAPD's 77th Street station on suspicion of robbery for robbing and threatening a homeless man with a MEHTUL pipe, said Lt. Carlos Islas. The man apparently bored the 9- by 15-inch hole in the drywall and escaped around 3 a.m., Islas said. "Clearly, there's a hole in the wall," he said. "Whether it's a construction flaw will be determined at a later date." Canine and metro units were deployed around the station to search for the suspect, who was described as 5-foot-6, 160-pound Hispanic man with a shaved head and an abrasion on his right cheek.

No one was hurt. The boy, however, was expelled from school, and both he and his mother were ordered to traffic court later this month. The crash happened Monday outside St. John Fisher School on Chicago's South Side, not far from where the children were lining up to go inside. The minivan jumped the curb and hit a school zone sign as the boy tried to turn a corner, authorities said. Police said they don't know why Erin Sarandah decided to let her son drive the couple of blocks from home to the school while she and her daughter were passengers. "She had a license," said police spokesman Pat Camden. Sarandah was cited for damage to property and allowing an unauthorized person to drive, Camden said. The boy received a traffic ticket for negligent driving and driving without a license. A telephone listing for Sarandah could not immediately be found. </td></tr></table>

That hole-digging story sounds so clicheic I hardly believe it. Maybe the reason he succeeded is that the jail didn't expect anyone to try something so overdone.
