Here are some more bizzare stories from around the globe
MISTAKEN IDENTITY: Thomas Montgomery, 48, of Buffalo, N.Y., posed online
as an 18-year-old in attempts to get dates with younger women. After
finally catching an 18-year-old girl on his hook, Montgomery, the
father of two teen girls, was trying to reel her in when an online
rival, Brian Barrett, 22, got in the way -- so Montgomery shot Barrett
to death. But Montgomery, a married church deacon, never got his tryst:
not only has he been sentenced to 20 years in prison for the killing,
the 18-year-old girl turned out to be Mary Sheiler, a 50-year-old woman
from West Virginia who used her daughter's photo in her online profile.
(Buffalo News) ...On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
OF COURSE, CALLING HIM "MICK" IS RACIST: Mick Forsythe, 55, is an
Irishman who lives in Wales. When he got into an argument with a woman
after a minor traffic accident, he screamed that she was an "English
bitch." That led to criminal charges -- not because of the accident or
the "B" word, but rather because of his "racially aggravated disorderly
behavior" for cursing the Welsh woman as "English". Forsythe was found
guilty and fined £200 pounds; a 10-week prison sentence was
suspended for 12 months. The case is "political correctness gone mad,"
Forsythe says. "They're officially calling me a racist." (London Daily
Mail) ...Yeah, but it's too late to Welsh on the deal now, bub.
