Chuck’s Hand-Picked Overnight Weird News for Wednesday
Sounds Like a Joke: Israelis get tough
So, you live in Israel, in the capital city, and Iran's bragging that its nuke program is running full-speed and also that it's supplying Hezbollah in Lebanon with missiles that can reach well inside Israel, and you're the city council in the Tel Aviv suburb of Petah Tikva, and so what dominates the latest meeting? They need to start swabbing dogs' mouths to create a DNA database so officials can ID the poop on the sidewalks (but of course only from those dogs whose owners have bothered to register them).

The Kenyan pastor who curbed a city's automobile fatality rate (by, er, outing that witch who was causing it all)
Pastor Thomas Muthee founded the Prayer Cave church in Kiambu, Kenya, in 1989, and his first big success (after six months' intensive prayer) was outing the witch Mama Jane, causing her to flee (and the accident rate to drop). Ah, but that's all old news, from a 1999 Christian Science Monitor article, so how does it make Chuck's Overnights? Answer: Sarah Palin thought Pastor Muthee's personal blessing is what pushed her over the top in the race for governor of Alaska! The Times (London)

Groom throws knife at wedding reception
Uh . . . you're right . . . not much to this story, out of Chippewa Falls, Wis., but first you have to make your way around the fact that the victim's upper body was completely wrapped in duct tape (and that neither the local reporter nor the AP stringer [possibly the same person, of course] seems to know exactly why.

Man screwing Toyota 4x4. I can't vouch for it, but here's the video, and the only news stories I've seen are not actually reports on the event but appear to be simply descriptions of what's on the video. On the other hand, it is "goin' around." Inquisitr.com

More Things to Worry About on Wednesday
A super-hot 20-yr-old Italian model is selling her virginity for €1m ($1.42m), and her brother vouches, "She's never had a boyfriend. I swear on my mother's grave" (Bonus: She prays to Padre Pio [at the link, scroll to Update]) . . . . . The U.S. Army just awarded a $4m contract for developing, er, "thought helmets," so commanders can pass along orders silently (but the U.S. is already 26 yrs behind the curve because Clint Eastwood needed to steal that technology from the Soviets in a 1982 movie) . . . . . Of course we're winning the war against gangs in this country, except that, well, we all have to stop wearing rosaries because gang members are wearing them, too . . . . . The Guinness Book people thought it'd be cool to photograph the shortest man in the world alongside the woman with the longest legs.
