Who says you can't find a bargain at a Flea Market.
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - A woman who bought an old book for $1 at a Netherlands flea market found etchings inside by Dutch master Rembrandt that sold for $50,000. The woman bought the book last month in the central Dutch city of Utrecht. She found the etchings pressed between the pages along with a third etching by one of Rembrandt's students.
Cashing in on her good fortune, she sold Rembrandt's "The pastry cook" for $30,000 and "Beggar with woman" for $20,000 to an anonymous German collector. The student's etching went to the same Berlin-based dealer for $5,000.

Doctor Removes Third Foot From Man!
WHITTIER, Calif. - Jose Maria Lopez spent nearly his whole life of 33 years hiding a third foot that protruded from his left ankle. He concealed the third foot by cutting his shoe at the heel and wearing baggy pants. Lopez describes how he had to walk, by swinging his right foot around the 6 inch growth to avoid hitting it when he walked. Dr. Michael O'Shea volunteered to remove the foot for free.
Lopez was born in Mexico, where a doctor told his family the extra foot was a bad omen from God and his leg would have to be amputated at the hip. His parents disagreed and he learned to live with the foot instead. The foot had a fully developed ankle, a heel and four toes. I bet he could really dance the Three Step!!

Their bodies were found by a funeral home employee a day later after the woman's mother initiated a search because her daughter was missing. Is this called Love in a Hot Afternoon???

Comedian wins election

THE WEIRDO-AMERICAN COMMUNITY
A 64-year-old Dade City, Fla., man accused by authorities in March of fathering at least one, and perhaps all nine, of his 44-year-old sister's children recently had his trial postponed until early 1996. The man, identified only as William, warned authorities that prosecuting him will doom society because he needs six more months to finish up his work on "the prism" (a wooden table with a hole in the middle in which William stands), which he promised would enable him to harness all the world's energy to control the weather, end the fighting in Bosnia, and make the state's child welfare office obsolete. Said William, the prism is "the only way humanity will get out of limbo."

Bronx Boo Boo
The New York Daily News reported in January that a fire hydrant had recently been installed at the busy intersection of Tremont Avenue and Boston Road in the Bronx but that it was installed in the street, five feet from the curb, requiring all traffic to go around it. A city spokesman said the hydrant was installed properly and that eventually a sidewalk would be built in what is now the curb lane, but because of engineering delays and bad weather, construction has not yet been scheduled.
