Eight patrons were trapped in a North Yorkshire, England pub for over a week after snowdrifts buried The Lion Inn.  Two were British civil servants, five were Scottish tourists and one was a Chilean miner. 

A leading cardiologist warns that heart attack deaths increase by 35% in December.  Choking deaths also go up -- mainly people who try to swallow Aunt Martha’s 20-year old walnut & cherry fruitcake.

Vice officers recently discovered pedophiles hiding cameras in Barbie dolls to produce child porn.  Nothing new.  Several years back, Ken hid a camera in Barbie’s hair to expose her affair with Buzz Light Year.

In Paris, a retired electrician was found with 271 Picasso paintings.  He claims they were payments for administering shock treatments to scramble the faces of his models.
