...were supposed to bump into people to show them we weren't weak," a private told investigators. "Everyone in the squad has done things like put their arms around females when they are walking by us and talk to them in a flirting manner," Private First Class Joshua Robertson told investigators. Plainly, the Army provided inept intelligence to these troops before sending them to Kosovo. "I really thought we were coming over here to do some type of damage," one unidentified soldier said, "but when we got over here, the people were really nice...
...September usually sees a bump in the reported cases of head lice as kids go back to school. Despite the common misconception that lice can leap tall buildings, like fleas, they're actually crablike crawlers, moving from scalp to scalp. Though lice don't usually transmit disease, they can cause a lot of discomfort, embarrassment and missed school days, so parents should deal with head lice the moment they become aware of an infestation...
...clean itself up, the government will do the job for it. On ABC, former Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos - who we're sure has become an entirely impartial observer in the, what, three minutes he's been a journalist - notified us that the Gore camp is thrilled with the bump Lieberman has given the campaign, which evidently is noticeable everywhere but in the polls.

Following Joey's 1995 imprisonment for soliciting sex from an undercover cop (at least no one was shot), the Long Island couple moved to California to start a new life. Sadly, the life wasn't all that new. Joey's dreams of movie stardom went unfulfilled...
...This bothered me tremendously. Both sides of my family have lived in and around the city for about four generations, and half the people you bump into in the North End are most likely related to me. I don't drop my "r"s, I hate Duck Tours and I can never remember what those flashing lights on top of the Hancock building mean. The city I had grown up in and around suddenly seemed foreign to me. How could I call myself a true Bostonian if I couldn't even give people directions to Allston...
