Greetings fellow Bizarros:
I am not going to make fun of chihuahuas anymore. Well, at
least not as much as I used to. I just read a story about
a California woman who said a mountain lion that wandered
onto her property was cornered by a gang of unlikely
guardians, her trio of toy chihuahuas.
Ana Lee Spray, 23, said she was awakened Saturday morning
by the sound of her three chihuahuas barking at the top of
their tiny lungs at the opening of her garage.
Spray said she looked out her daughter’s window to investi-
gate the ruckus and was shocked to see her gang of 3-pound
dogs had cornered an angry-looking cougar in the garage.
The homeowner said the chihuahuas’ barking kept the animal,
which appeared to be foaming at the mouth, at bay for 45
minutes until Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies arrived.
“When they saw the dogs they said ‘These little things?’
When they saw the mountain lion their jaws dropped,” Spray
said. “They radioed, ‘This is a full-size mountain lion and
it is not happy to see us.’”
Spray said the cougar made a run for it after officers from
the Department of Fish and Game shot it with tranquilizers
and she did not see the eventual capture.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

+—————– Bizarre Royal Figures —————–+
George III of Great Britain and Ireland was being driven
through Windsor Great Park when he ordered his carriage
driver to stop. The King got out, walked over to an oak
tree, shook hands with one of its branches and talked to
it for several minutes. He thought he was talking to the
King of Prussia.
Princess Alexandra of Bavaria was convinced that as a child
she had swallowed a full-size grand piano. Nothing could
ever shake her from this belief.
Ludwig II of Bavaria was Alexandra’s nephew. His reign was
notable for his decision to reverse night and day. He had
a moon painted on his bedroom ceiling and embarked on epic
mountain journeys in the dead of night in a golden sleigh,
accompanied by coachmen who were forced to dress in the
style of Louis XIV.
Catherine the Great of Russia, discovering that she had
dandruff, imprisoned her hairdresser in an iron cage for
three years to stop the news spreading. Enchanted by a
primrose in the royal garden, she posted a sentry to guard
the plant day and night.
Queen Juana of Spain worshiped her husband Philip, who
died in 1506, so much that she refused to allow him to be
buried and had his coffin accompany her wherever she
traveled.
Henry Christophe, King of Northern Haiti, ordered his
guards to prove their loyalty to him by marching over a
200ft-high cliff. Those who obeyed plunged to their deaths;
those who refused were tortured and executed. Christophe
eventually ended up shooting himself.

——– Mexican navy finds coke in frozen sharks ———
PROGRESO, Mexico - The Mexican navy said it has seized
1,967 pounds of cocaine that was being smuggled inside
of frozen sharks. Navy inspectors in the port town of
Progreso on the southeastern shore of Mexico said they
slit open one of the frozen sharks after detecting an
anomaly on an X-ray and black bags filled with rectangular
cocaine packets spilled out, CNN reported Friday. The navy
said a total 870 packets of cocaine, about 1,967 pounds,
were seized from the shark shipment. Officials said the
freight ship carrying the sharks, the Dover Strait, had
been loaded in Costa Rica.

———— Bear drops by for dog food snack ————-
GRANBY, Colo. - A Colorado couple said a bear entered their
house through a dog door, ignored their barking pooch and
ate all of his dog food before leaving. Brenda Freeman said
she and her husband heard their dog make a strange noise at
about 10:30 p.m. Sunday at their Granby-area home and they
opened the door to their mudroom to find a bear standing
“two feet away” from Freeman’s husband, the Sky-Hi Daily
News of Granby reported Thursday. Freeman said she and her
husband quickly locked the bear alone in the mud room and
watched its movements as it explored the room and ignored
the barking of their 2-year-old dog, Aniden. They said the
bear did not cause much damage to the room, but it left
paw prints on windows, de-potted a few plants and ate all
of Aniden’s food before exiting through the dog door. The
couple said the bear was in their home for about 10 minutes.
“He was very graceful, very calm,” she said. “The bear
didn’t seem to care about the dog barking.”
——— Bar: Free drinks for hilarious insults ———–
CULLERA, Spain - Patrons of a Spanish bar are praising a
promotion that offers free drinks to customers who verbally
abuse employees in funny or original ways. The Casa Pocho
bar, located in the southern town of Cullera, lets
customers vent their frustrations in the process of trying
to earn a free drink, Metro.co.uk reported Friday. “When
you come in after work, you can say swear at them and call
them bastard or imbecile,” enthusiastic patron Antonio
Ossa said of the bar workers.

———— Man finds Jesus in coffee stain ————–
RAVENA, N.Y. - A New York state man says he discovered a
coffee stain in the shape of Jesus Christ’s face on the
inside of a Mason jar drinking mug. Jerry Stolfi, 49, of
Ravena, said he noticed the image, which is smaller than
a square inch, of Jesus’ face wearing the crown of thorns
after he finished a cup of coffee April 29 and has since
kept the mug carefully stored in a cupboard that has been
re-dubbed a “shrine,” the Albany (N.Y.) Times-Union report-
ed. “It doesn’t smell, though, and I will never be washing
it,” he said. Stolfi said not everyone sees the same image
when they look at the glass. “It’s 50-50,” he said. “I
don’t blame those that don’t see the image. I saw it
straight off the bat.” The former alter boy and aspiring
playwright said he has no plans to attempt to profit from
the stain, but his girlfriend convinced him to share it
with the world as a message of hope. “You don’t hear about
an image like this coming to everybody every day,” he said.
“It’s so rare. He selected me for some reason.”
