Interesting Red "X"
I can only imagine that it is a photo of Sonny jsut after his retirement as a Pro Bono and just before he began training to usurp Johnny Mosely as the greatest free style skier in the world.... I heard SOnny had a great trick... but you could only do it one time.

Well- You can almost be sure that Jimmy Caan has better taste in Pussy than Sonny... I couldn't even tell you one chick James Caan has hit... but that really doesn't matter.

Police in Ariz. Seek Monkey for SWAT Team
Mon Apr 18,10:12 PM ET Strange News - AP
MESA, Ariz. - The Mesa Police Department is looking to add some primal instinct to its SWAT team. And to do that, it's looking to a monkey.
"Everybody laughs about it until they really start thinking about it," said Mesa Officer Sean Truelove, who builds and operates tactical robots for the suburban Phoenix SWAT team. "It would change the way we do business."
Truelove is spearheading the department's request to purchase and train a capuchin monkey, considered the second smartest primate to the chimpanzee. The department is seeking about $100,000 in federal grant money to put the idea to use in Mesa SWAT operations.
The monkey, which costs $15,000, is what Truelove envisions as the ultimate SWAT reconnaissance tool.
Since 1979, capuchin monkeys have been trained to be companions for people who are quadriplegics by performing daily tasks, such as serving food, opening and closing doors, turning lights on and off, retrieving objects and brushing hair.
Truelove hopes the same training could prepare a monkey for special-ops intelligence.
Weighing only 3 to 8 pounds with tiny humanlike hands and puzzle-solving skills, Truelove said it could unlock doors, search buildings and find suicide victims on command. Dressed in a Kevlar vest, video camera and two-way radio, the small monkey would be able to get into places no officer or robot could go.
It has been a little over a year since Truelove filed a grant proposal with the U.S. Department of Defense under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and he is still waiting for word.
If the grant goes through, Truelove plans on learning how to train the monkey himself and keeping the sociable monkey at home, just like a K-9 officer would. He projects that $85,000 in grant money would outfit the monkey with gear and pay for veterinarian care, food and habitat for three years.
Frozen sausage flies through open car window, breaks British driver's nose

LONDON (AFP) - A driver in Britain suffered a broken nose after a frozen sausage was thrown through an open window of his car, an ambulance official said.

The 46-year-old man was driving near his home in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, southeast England, when the "bizarre incident" occurred, said a spokesman for the Essex Ambulance Service.
"He was driving his car when the offending item came through his open window and hit him on the nose," the spokesman said.
"He said he saw a car coming the other way and felt a searing pain in his nose. He managed to stop his car without hitting anyone else at which point passers-by came to his aid."
The driver lost a lot of blood from his broken nose but opted against going to hospital, according to the spokesman.
"I feel very sorry for him -- it must have been an incredibly lucky or unlucky shot to get the sausage through a moving car window. I have never seen or heard of anything like this before," the ambulance spokesman added.
Police said they were investigating the incident and wanted to hear from anyone with information.

Elephants Rampage Through South Korea
Wed Apr 20, 8:21 AM ET Top Stories - AP
SEOUL, South Korea - Six elephants escaped from an amusement park Wednesday and injured a woman as they rampaged through the South Korean capital, according to a news report.

All were recaptured and returned to the park, police said.
An elephant charged into an alley near an elementary school and hit a 52-year-old woman, Roh In-sun, with its trunk, Yonhap news agency said. She was being treated at a hospital.
"She fell, and I ran away because I was scared," said Roh's landlord, Lee Hye-ja, who was standing with her when the elephant charged toward them. The animal remained trapped in a garden.
Three of the pachyderms had barged into a nearby restaurant.
The elephants escaped due to the "zookeeper's carelessness" on the circus compound at the Children's Grand Park, police said.
