Dr. Ruehl's latest Realm of Bizarre News features The Amazing World of Crime & Punishment


The Realm Of Bizarre News, Episode VIII

Tabloid Baby pal, conributor and columnist Dr. Franklin Ruehl, Ph.D. says: "My latest Realm of Bizarre News is a special edition, The Amazing Realm of Crime & Punishment, which I produced as a mini-pilot as I have been pitching to truTV and others. And of course, I have a 30-minute version."

And here's this week's Top 13 Bizarre News stories:

* Bad idea! Brit David Monk, 46, decided to slide down a mountainside at the Valie di Susa ski resort in northern Italy on a RUBBER MATTRESS! He slid right into a fence and suffered massive head and chest injuries which killed him! So, if we have any skiers among our readers: Please do not try this! We cannot afford to lose even one of you!

* Good idea! The Admiral Cinema in Vienna, Austria is now allowing moviegoers to bring their pooches along with them on a monthly Doggy Day! Woof!

* Keep your pet tortoises in the fridge! That is the surprising recommendation of experts who note that these shelled critters hibernate during the cold winter. But if the temperature suddenly warms, they wake up, and can perish if the temperature again plummets. So, please, please, make room for your pet in the refrigerator even if you have to toss out some food!

Trivia Q: What is the term for a group of turtles? (Answer below)

* Barber Jim Buist, 64, up in Kalamazoo, Michigan is legally blind, yet still trims the hair of his loyal customers, some of whom he has had for 40 years! Using a combination of instinct, feel and memory of his clients' heads, he still does a remarkably good job!

* A female visitor to the Samlesbury Hall in Lancashire, England, was stunned to find that she had captured a photo of the ghost of Henry The Eighth lingering in a dark room at the manor house. This is the first report of his presence there, although his spirit has been reportedly taped at Hampton Court. Does the image really resemble the English tyrant? Look at the picture at right and judge for yourself!

* Actress Brooke Shields is terrified of seeing her image in a mirror! She avoids looking at her reflection whenever she is in a room with a mirror!

* Unborn twins dislodge mom's tumor! Michelle Stepney of London, England was diagnosed with cervical cancer while carrying twin girls, but then her oncologist discovered that their kicking had dislodged the tumor, saving her life!

* At the Scott County Circuit Court in Georgetown, Kentucky, a defendant charged with burglary began punching his defense attorney in the mouth and stomach when told by the judge that he could not change lawyers. Now, he is getting new representation. Incredibly, the walloped lawyer is not going to press assault charges against the man.

* Finally! After more than 60 years, Hitler's "lost fleet" of three submarines has been discovered resting on the bottom of the Black Sea The U-19, U-20, and U-23 had been carried overland to target Russia, but disappeared near the end of WW2, with their whereabouts a historic puzzle.

* A feisty new bride chased after a drunk driver who hit the newlyweds' car in Auckland, New Zealand, then sped off on foot. Still wearing her wedding gown, she pursued miscreant to an alley, where he finally gave up and was arrested.

* A human eyeball in a box was delivered by a special courier to a shocked guest in the middle of the night at a hotel in Hobart, Tasmania. It turned out the eye was to be implanted in a patient at a local hospital, but for a mistake in the address. Fortunately, the guest reported the eyeball immediately, and the transplant was successfully carried out a few hours later!

* Unfair! Couple found a decapitated sheep on their property in Clyde Township, Michigan and appealed to various public agencies to remove it, but all refused, telling them it is their responsibility to dispose of it-- with a fine if they don't! Unfair!

* During a heated argument, a 280-pound hubby in Hildesheim, England sat on his frail wife for two minutes, crushing her to death (her ribs suffered 18 separate fractures). He has now been sentenced to five years in prison.

Trivia answer: A group of turtles is called a "bale."

Video plus! Dr. Ruehl's Realm of Bizarre News


The Realm Of Bizarre News, Episode VII

Tabloid Baby pal, contributor , columnist and music video star Dr. Franklin Ruehl, Ph.D. is back with his one hundred and forty eighth list of the Top Thirteen stories in the week's "Realm of Bizarre News":

* Was the luxury liner "Queen Victoria" cursed when a bottle of champagne swung against its side by the Duchess of Cornwall failed to break during its naming ceremony? Quite possibly, considering that several of its passengers were hit by a norovirus on only its 2nd voyage to sea!

* Bizarre crop circle sheep! Approximately 100 of the woolly critters on a farm in Herefordshire, England formed a perfect circle, on their own initiative, maintaining it for 10 minutes! Then, a short time later, 3 fields away, another group configured themselves in a circular formation for roughly 10 minutes!

Trivia Q: What is the term meaning "sheeplike?" (Answer below)

* Ouch! Ouch! As a man was collecting crocodile eggs in Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia, a croc suddenly grabbed him, shaking him violently. A rescuer fired 2 shots: one hit the croc, the other hit the man in the arm, who was then helicoptered to a hospital to be treated for both croc bites and a bullet wound!

* A Hindu priest in Chhattisgarh, India committed suicide by consuming poison, claiming that he would emerge from beyond the grave after 3 days. His followers kept a vigil outside the locked room where his body was being kept, but, alas, he never returned to the living!

* An automotive Bermuda Triangle encircles a 5-block zone of the Empire State Building where several cars daily suddenly stall. Rather than a paranormal cause, experts hypothesize that radio frequency interference from the building may be jamming keyless entry systems on afflicted vehicles.

* Acclaimed opera tenor Juan Diego Florez swallowed a fish bone which became lodged in his throat and caused an infection that forced him out of commission for two long months.

Please, if you are going to eat fish, fillet it first. We cannot have this befalling any of you!

* Matthew 5:30 advises: "And, if they right hand offend thee, cut it off and cast it from thee." A man in Hayden, Idaho took this verse seriously: when he saw the mark of the Devil in his right hand (possibly the satanic '666'), he cut it off with a circular saw, had the presence of mind to place a tourniquet around the stump, then microwaved the hand until it was withered so it could not be reattached. Definitely a man of principle (also, a strong candidate for our "Doofus of the Week " award).

* Gang in Sweden is hiding dwarves inside sports bags that are placed in the luggage compartments of buses...the pint-sized thieves then rifle through the other luggage, stealing any valuables contained within!

* An infant planet has been discovered in orbit about the star TW Hydrae, some 180 light years from earth, which is only 10 million years old! It is a huge body, some 9.8 times the dimensionality of Jupiter. This finding demonstrates that planet formation is commonplace, occurring early in each star's evolution, arguing for the possibility of life evolving on all of them! This discovery is indeed proof that the universe is teeming with life!

* Clever Alcon blue butterflies coat their larvae with an ant smell and leave them on plants where deceived ants take them back to their colony and nurture them!

* A terminally ill dad from Blackburn, England had made arrangements for his burial after his death, but was stunned to find his own tombstone already placed in the cemetery, complete with his photo (but with no death date added).

* An Italian airport in Bari has recruited a large golden eagle named Cheyenne to chase foxes away from the runway! Traps, poison, and ultrasound have proved futile in scaring off the vulpines.

* Bad idea! A female bank robber in Sandy Springs, Georgia, was nabbed waiting for a bus after getting a satchel of cash (a dye bomb inside it exploded, spraying her and the money with orange ink, making her easy to identify).

Trivia Answer: "Ovine" mean sheeplike.

TOP TIP:
Dr. Ruehl's television pilot, "Crimetime Suspense Theatre," airs tomorrow (Friday) evening at 9 pm on Time Warner's Los Angeles area cable system. The show features highlights from two suspense films-- Too Late For Tears and Colonel March of Scotland Yard-- and two mystery series: D.O.A. and The Adventures of Dr. Fu Manchu.
