| Aquarium Quarantined: Croc bites boy, boy kisses fish! Reported by Hester Bums and Steph Smith | ||
South American crocodile swims to Saugus River where it finds its way into the plumbing system ands bites the bottom of 8-year-old Brian Brewster. Brian then became infected with a rare case of Chilean Rabies. “I didn’t tell anyone because I wanted to go on the school field trip to the New England Aquarium the next day.” Brian tearfully explains. While on the field trip Brian unknowingly spread the infection by taking part in the “Kiss the Dolphin” exhibit which | ignited an outbreak of Chilean Rabies throughout the aquarium. “I’ve never seen anything like it, penguins puking, sea otters foaming at the mouth. It’s madness!” Tom Robinson, age 52, an investigative policeman exclaims. The New England Aquarium is currently under quarantine until rare antibiotics are shipped from a remote village in Chile. We were able to get an exclusive interview with one of the New England Aquarium employees trapped inside the biohazard prison. |
“I was just getting a cup of coffee when the entire building broke out in chaos.” Phil Conoly, the owner of the New England Aquarium, is putting out a restraining order against little Brian as we speak. Brian has recently issued a formal apology to all affected by the outbreak, saying that he promised never to kiss another dolphin. |
| Lightning Whacks 400lb Water Walker Reported by Ron Gatsby | ||
|
It hadn’t been done for 2000 years, but Fernando Braz was determined to change that. “They told me I’d drown,” said the former Peabody High track coach, “but I did it anyway.” And Braz didn’t drown – the lightning hit him first. As he sat contented on his bed at Beverly Hospital, he wondered aloud, “Why did they make me come here?” As I spoke with him, he seemed completely unphased by the whole situation. |
Braz taught himself to walk on water at a very young age. “When you run 40 miles per day, you start to get bored with dry land,” he says. Since college (Braz was a graduate of BC in 1984), the miraculous man made a habit of trans-Atlantic strolls. That’s not all – Braz weighs in at a hefty 400 lbs. “The weight isn’t a problem if you didn’t think about it,” explains Braz, who has long since given up his 40 mile runs for more relaxed promenades across large bodies of water. |
Braz, who still resides in Peabody, is described as “eccentric” by most of the locals, who generally respond to his monthly treks with a sigh of “There he goes again.” The lightning strike will be only a minor setback for Braz, who has already made a full recovery and is eager to resume his hobby. |

After police came, Sutton was asked about the awful event. “That was one nasty baby; I’m definitely not going to steal from babies again.” This event showed Sutton to pick on someone his own size. |
| Cook Fights Off Edible Monster! Corpse Sold to KFC! Reported by C. Corpsis | ||
Local cook looses thumb in an epic fight with own edible creation. Instead of reporting incident to the government, he decides to make money by contacting a local KFC. The bloody, spicy spatula lay on the floor as the colonel’s face drives off a truck back. “I knocked bottles of spice into my chili mix,” says the local 34-year-old cook who prefers to be called “Patches.” “I looked into the pot hoping I could save my meal when boiling blood shot at my face.” |
Patches barely had time to wipe the burning fluids from his eyes when the food began to attack. “A form raised out of the pot, almost human like, but bigger.” The gelatinous giant opened all the drawers in the room sweeping through each one and acquiring any and all sharpened silverware. “The chest opened up,” says Patches, “and the knives were protruding out.” Face to face with an Iron Maiden-like corpse, Patches grabbed anything he could find. He threw a folding table into the belly of the beast and it closed like a Venus flytrap. The beast shot out the table that was now full of knives. |
“All it was now was a beefy-beast. I began to hack it to bits, flinging the chunks to different sections of the room.” Patches plans obviously worked. The pieces stayed down slightly grumbling.” “What was I to do? Who’d believe me? I didn’t care who did I just wanted the remains out of my home.” With inspiration from the Wendy’s incident with a thumb in the chili, Patches called the local KFC and settled on a price for the slain remains. |

Our inside sources tell us that Janet and our famous “Ms. Paris Hilton” had a rift behind the scenes of the show. According to a witness, the heiress overheard Janet ridiculing her signature saying, “That’s Hot!” Jackson, on the other hand, claims that she was warning her daughter not to touch the stylist’s hair straightener because it was hot. | Regardless of who was right or wrong, Paris was offended. The altercation did not fade away and when Jackson stepped on the stage modeling a loose fitting turtleneck and sweatpants from the Spring 2008 collection, Ms. Hilton was not far behind.

Currently, both sides have pressed charges and Paris’ alcohol consumption is under question. As of right now, there is no word whether Paris will face yet another jail sentence. There is a court procedure scheduled on November 29th regarding the dispute. |

He has gone to Alcoholics Anonymous to give up drinking. |
