WEIRD SIDE E-ZINE
Vol. 1 Issue #5

Editors Note

Dear subscribers,

Thanks to all of you who voted for my survey at Onelist. The 
question was: 'Would you like to see The Weird Side E-zine 
published more often than once a month? If so, how many 
times?'

Here are the results:

Bi-weekly 15.84 % 
Weekly 57.43 % 
Daily 7.92 % 
It's ok as it is 16.83 % 
Don't bother 1.98 % 

Conclusion: 80% wants more Weird Side's, and since I 
am a democrat, I will send out more frequently in the 
future. For those who voted for a daily Weird Side: do 
you enjoy to see me sweat blood? :-)

A whole month between each issue of TWSE is long, but 
I don't want to bother you every week, so I suppose it 
would be wise when the issue's tend to grow out of size 
that I will send out on a bi-weekly base.

Ok. Thanks for cooperating, for being a loyal subscriber, 
and may you enjoy this issue!

Here's a great CD-Tip: "Grow Fins: Rarities 1965-1982" 
Captain Beefheart

Unfortunately, the Captain (a.k.a. Don Van Vliet) ain't back. 
but this collection of unreleased tracks, compiled by former 
Magic Band member Zoot Horn Rollo, is almost as good. As 
the wacked-blues and skronked romps attest, Beefheart is 
one of rock music's most influential unknown artists.

Weird news

Ernest Digweed from Portsmouth, England, died 16
years ago and left his entire estate to Jesus Christ. He 
instructed the State Trustee Office to invest his money in
government bonds, guaranteeing Jesus a total yield of 
$615,820 by the end of the century. Digweed's heirs are 
contesting the will, and have offered an unusual solution: 
an insurance policy in the same amount payable to Jesus 
upon his return. Two individuals, each insisting that he 
is Jesus reborn, have filed claims for the money...

Terry Wilson was charged with robbery after passing an
Orlando bank teller a stickup note written on the back of
his probation-parole card...

A farmer in Chaguanas, Trinidad, complained that someone 
had made off with his animals. Police pursued the complaint 
and gave chase after they saw a rental car driving with its 
headlights off. They later found the car which the driver had 
abandoned. Inside the officers found a sheep wearing a dress 
and two goats in shirts, pants and hats. They discovered two 
more goats - in shirts and pants in the trunk. They believed 
the thieves had dressed the animals to fool people into 
thinking they were people.

Someone stole a 15-pound cement frog from John and Gert 
Knight's garden in Swansea, Massachusetts. A letter left said 
that it needed to escape the daily grind of garden life but would 
be back. While it was gone, the Knights received postcards 
and photos of the frog living it up in New York, Indonesia and 
Venezuela. It was returned 8 months later in a Limo. The limo 
driver denied any part in the kidnapping, saying he was just 
asked to return it safely.

Nevada law: funeral directors can be arrested for using 
profane or obscene language in the presence of a dead person.

Rene Joly, 34, a college-educated sales manager, filed legal 
action in April, contending that the Shopper's Drug Mart chain 
had sold him poison instead of medication, that Canadian 
troops in Germany had implanted a microchip in his brain 
and that Citibank had perpetrated a credit card fraud -all in 
a bid to further U.S. assassination attempts on his life 
because he was a Martian. 

A 31 year old employee of Vette's Restaurant and Bar in 
St. Peters, Mo climbed into the air duct to try to burglarize 
the restaurant and got stuck. The owner arrived the following 
morning and heard his employee screaming for help, police 
said Monday. The guy told the police he was only looking for 
a place to sleep. 

Stock car driver Danny Elko from Sydney, Australia, survived 
a five car crash at 205 m.p.h. with only a broken leg, but he died
minutes later in the ambulance, when he was taken to the 
hospital. The ambulance struck a guard rail traveling only 20
m.p.h. The rear doors opened flinging the stunned Elko on 
the pavement fracturing his skull. He was pronounced dead 
on arrival.
