current compilation of

Most peculiar things
people do, edited by Chuck
Shepherd.

-- The U.S. Army reported in
July that twice in the past seven
months at Fort Campbell, Ky., peo-
ple had broken into warehouses and
stolen almost 1,500 of the much-
maligned "Meals Ready to Eat"
rations.

WEIRD WEAPONS

-- Kenner, La., police arrested
Lavalle Williams, 20, in July and
charged him with robbing a conve-
mience store, armed only with a can
of Off! insect repellent, which he
Sprayed into the face of the clerk
before snatching $50 from the cash
register and fleeing.

-- Jail officials in Winnipeg,
Canada, tumed down inmate James
Skinner's request in July to keep a
Funk and Wagnall’s Canadian Col-
lege Dictionary in his cell, saying

‘ that a book that large could be used
as a weapon. Said Skinner, "I can
have as many dirty books as I want,
but I can't have a dictionary.”

‘THE WEIRDO AMERICAN COMMUNITY

Inmate Jesse Loden, 48, filed a
lawsuit in federal court in August
against the Illinois Department of
Corrections, charging it with stifling
his religious freedom by preventing
him from ordering books on voodoo
and from worshiping in the nude.

LEAST COMPETENT PEOPLE

A 16-year-old Freetown, Mass.,
boy was arrested in July after
attempting to rob the Town Line
General Store and being wrestled to
the ground by the 60-year-old clerk.
According to the local Taunton
Daily Gazette, the boy "pointed his
index finger at the clerk, and said,
‘This is a stickup.' The clerk asked,
‘Is this a joke?’ and the boy looked
down and said, ‘oops.’ The boy left
and returned minutes later with a
revolver.”

THE DIMINISHING VALUE OF LIFE

Titus Howard, 37, was charged
with stabbing a fellow rooming-
house resident, Ronnie Jackson, to
death in Atlanta in July after a quar-
Tel over the grits served at breakfast.

WEIRD SCIENCE

-- New Zealand scientists, study-

ing tooth decay, built a 20-inch

:- glass mouth to observe how plaque

~' grows when fed saliva and sugar,

but later reported a drawback in the
experiment: massive halitosis.

~ Scientists at Lawrence Liver-
more laboratory in California
Tecently produced "sea gel,” an edi-
ble paperlike substance that is
lighter than air, made from sea-
weed.

-- An Australian government
research organization announced in
December that it is on the verge of
creating sheep whose wool is moth-
Proof because it secretes insect-
killing proteins. The same Organiza
tion recently developed sheep with
‘wool loose enough to be pulled off
by hand.
