Ten
Year Old Wrestles Alligator and Wins!
Ananova
No-one believed poor little Sam Tharp, from Bridgeport,
Pennsylvania, when he told his friends and family that he saw a 2ft
alligator in a creek near his home.
Angry that no-one believed him the 10-year-old boy
went back to the creek, wrestled the alligator and took it home.
When Sam was asked why he did it he replied, "they
kept teasing me, telling me they thought I was drinking creek water. I
had to make them eat their words."

Ananova:
How would you like to wake up one day
to find yourself laying next to a 3ft alligator.
Well that is what happened to Florida
resident Felipe Barrera. Mr. Barrera woke up next to a shape
of what he thought was their family dog, 
but when it started hissing he realized it could be his wife, just
kidding Mr. Barrera, he realized it was a three-foot alligator.
"The 3ft alligator must have gotten in through
the pet flap in the kitchen, that we keep open for our two
cats", said Felipe in disbelief.
His wife Cindy added, "that's just not one
of those things you expect to find when you get up in the morning.
It's just one of those one-in-a-million things."
I say bring the cats inside at night and lock the
doors unless you like waking up next to an alligator in the morning.
 Ghosts in Muslim school cause
death of two girls!
Sept 2001

Talk about being scared over nothing. In Jakarta, Indonesia ghosts are being blamed for starting a stampede at a boarding school in which two girls were trampled to death.
The incident took place Sunday during the recital of passages from the Muslim holy book, the Koran, by about 100 students at the school.
What sent the students running like scared rabbits? The sound of a woman's scream heard rippling
throughout the school building, the Indonesian language news Website detik.com reported.
The students fled the second floor running down the stairs and those who tripped were trampled to death.
Despite being an overwhelmingly Muslim province, spirits and ghosts -- both malevolent and benevolent -- remain an important part of local beliefs in East Java.

A: No.
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No.
Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No.
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.

Q: You say the stairs went down to the basement?
A: Yes.
Q: And these stairs, did they go up also?
Astrobiology: The Origin of Life?
Sept 2001
The most common story of how we came to be is the one about the warm puddle of "primordial soup" somewhere on earth.
 I believe, as do others that it could be possible that life began in the cold deepness of space.
This belief was published in a special astrobiology issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The NASA Ames Research Center scientists, Louis Allamandola and his colleagues, have created primitive like cells-empty, two-layer membranes from elementary chemicals, exposed to conditions like those in interstellar clouds.
This discovery leads them to believe that the molecules needed to make a cell's membrane, the origin of life, are all over space. This discovery also implies that life could very well be everywhere in the universe

In the 1940s, the FCC assigned television's
Channel 1 to mobile Services (two-way radios in taxicabs, for
instance) but did not Pre-number the other channel assignments. That is why
your TV set has channels 2 and up, but no channel 1.
