least these are statewide ones.

| * George
Perez, my new idol, has volunteered to rejoin his fellow
soldiers in Iraq. He lost his leg a few months ago in
combat and now says he is physically fit, can still jump out of
airplanes and runs a mile in less than 8 minutes. If he is
allowed to go back, he will be the 4th amputee to re-enlist in
the 82nd Airborne. A Tryon U. Salute to all of those who serve!

Some quotes from the experts, "There is no place to hide." "Attacks are ABUSIVE TEXT." "No way to retaliate." "We need more study and the government MUST fund it.". They said 30% of school children suffer from it. Oh, then I found out the study was a year long study at ONE school..........in Australia...........Hmmmmmm * The Least-Fattest State Is Colorado........the fattest is Mississippi. Iowa was #19 fattest with adults, but #14 with kids. * The Taj Mahal Is Leaning. A spire is leaning seriously and experts are not sure what to do to help out the most important icon in India. * Des Moines Man Shoots At Mouse And Hits Girlfriend. She is OK, she was hit in the arm as she walked past. The mouse was also fine. * Carpenter Shoots Himself With Nail Gun. Right through the heart with 7cm nail.

Showing tolerance for all religions....now let me get this straight....no celebrating Christmas (separation of church and state) but Devil worship, no problem? * Canadian Town Bans Children From Dressing As Seals During Halloween. They are afraid the area polar bears in the area will spot lunch and go after the trick or treaters. When asked, council members said they have never heard of any children dressing up as seals. * Black Activists In Florida Destroyed A Halloween Display On Private Property. It was Frankenstein hanging from a scaffold. They said his skin color was too dark.........isn't Frankenstein green? * New Poll In UK Picks Homer! That's right, Brits choose Homer Simpson as the best possible American president from popular TV characters. * New Product Announced.......Gum-O-Flage.......$5.00 per pack. Used by deer hunters to disguise their breath while hunting. It tastes like a pine forest.......yummy.....Other hunters are spending as much as $300 for scent proof boots and jackets and some even spread horse manure on their body to disguise their smell.....that would do it. * Florida Holds Jack-O-Lantern Carving Contest. 30 people have entered. Prizes are awarded based on creativity and style. All carvings must be done UNDER 25 ft. of water......... * East Texas Finds Mystery Beast. A mystery beast, some saying a demon from another world, has been shot in East Texas after terrifying residents for weeks. It has blue skin, a little larger than a dog and it's hind legs are much larger than his front ones. The creature was shot while hiding under a porch. Animal experts were baffled until tests revealed it was a wild coyote with the mange. His fur was falling off from a rare form of the disease. Stories before the beast was identified. * A Couple Delivers Baby In Car. Baby arrives before the couple makes it to the hospital.

They are also 25 lbs. heavier, except for women in their 20s they are 29 lbs. heavier.........ouch * New Species Of Humans Found! Off the coast of New Zealand on a small island they have found skeletons of humans who grew no larger than 3 feet tall. (Hobbits?) They found 7, they had a brain the size of a chimpanzee's, they used tools and hunted.......miniature elephants.......18,000 years ago... Believe It or Not.....Middle Earth? Full Story * Des Moines Law Says If You Own A Vicious Animal, You Must Have $100,000 Liability Insurance.

Chihuahua. * Cuban Leader's Power Saves Lives! Fidel Castro went to the beach, held his fist in the air and demanded that the hurricane miss Cuba.
