Many bird-watchers in England had gathered around a small lake. Binoculars,
tape-recorders,and video cameras were installed around the water: A rare
redneck fringeleg waterbird was, for the first time in ages, spotted.Everybody
was (im)patiently awaiting the arrival and ... there it landed. Suddenly lots
of commotion, a horrifying shriek, splashing of water. It turned out that the
local pike, a 4 foot monster, had grabbed the bird and ate it in no time at
all.The only things left to watch were some red feathers.
  
All France is lately on red alert because of the bombings. Logically the
authorities have stepped up security. Everywhere in France police are visibly
present and everything is checked twice. Parisian bookkeeper Claude Khazizian
is not impressed. He likes to be photographed with the great of the Earth.
Recently he slipped through all double and triple security lines around the
French presidential palace and appeared, next to the president and his
celebrity guests, while a group photo was taken.
  
Junior Medland (70) is angry. For the past seven years he's been complaining at
all possible authorities about the super noisy race-track behind his house. He
protested until green in the face, but no result. Junior decided to strike back!
He installed 11 high-volume sirens on the roof of his house and they blurt
whenever a race is on: "Keeps the noise of the track away.", claims Junior. His
neighbors didn't like Junior's action for one bit. He placed an enormous sign
in his garden proclaiming: "The world's lousiest neighbour!" with an arrow
pointing to Junior's house.
This Week's Obscure Word:	USUFRUCTUARY
One having the use or enjoyment of something.
In China all the elderly are graced with honor. This year the government
awarded prizes to 472 "Best Elderlies". 48 of them where even named "The Best
Of The Best". The oldest winner is 115 years old, 17 are over a century in age
and 72 are women. To be nominated one has to be over 80, like sports and take
interest in the wellbeing of the upcoming generation.
  
Michael Springer is in the habbit of being in the right place at the right time.
In '80 and '89 he gave first aid to victims of a shooting. Last June he saved
the life of a man who was stabbed. Last week he walked down a street where he
spotted a 17 month old baby sitting in the window on the fourth story of a
building. The inevitable happened. The toddler fell and who else but Michael
was there to catch the child.
  
In Europe there's lots of commotion about how to name the new currency. ECU is
what the French prefer, but the Germans think that the pronounciation of that
word comes too close to their word for "cow". So the Germans came up with
Franc, but now the Spanish claim that sounds too much like "Franco" their
ex-dictator. Besides, it also associates with "Frankenstein". "Eurobuck" is too
light, Pound is sort of too heavy. Europe is anxiously awaiting the outcome.
  
The Italian Claudia Zanella persisted to be innocent. The one that robbed the
store in Rimini was not her, but a mere look-alike. Last week she found herself
in court where the prosecution presented the evidence: A high-heeled shoe she'd
lost while making her getaway. On request of the judge, Claudia fitted the
shoe. Two sizes larger than her foot, so the Italian judge decided that she
couldn't have robbed the store.
Somewhere in the Australian outback stands a maximum security prison. To escape
one has to climb the wall and swim across a wide river. Now that's excactly
what one of the inmates did. While making the swim to freedom, bullets where
flying around his ears. He made it however and vanished in the shrubbery. What
he didn't know was that the guards had saved his life: They where shooting at
a 15 ft. crocodile that came very near to having the lunch of a lifetime.
When Rita Lucas and her husband divorced in 1989, they had a clause drawn up
saying that Rita would share 50/50 in the event of her husband winning the
Nobel-Prize before Oct.31 1995. Robert Lucas won this year the prize of
$1,000,000 for economics. Robert decided to honor the agreement and pay Rita
half.
