Dramatic photo of a field of seashells, arguing that aquatic life once flourished on the Red Planet, and may still exist today!

Dentist with a sword, breaking his left arm...3 years ago, that dentist carelessly extracted the peddler's healthy tooth instead of an infected one, engendering an infection that left his left arm useless!

-Unfair! Dead man, who had been reposing in his
Automobile for 8 days, was given a parking ticket for overstaying his time down in Sydney, Australia!
-Singing heartthrob Robbie Williams claims that ETs
