When his mom called us up on his birthday and told us that she had sent him $200 to take us all out to dinner, we were excited to retrieve all of the money that he had ripped off from us over the course of the year, and escape the Berg to boot. When the bill came, Señor Stingy only offered to pay for one appetizer! The scumbag pretended that his mom had not told us how she was paying for the dinner. Someone so tight...

FRANCE Foiled Bombing Customs police in the northeastern city of Metz discovered 100 g of explosives on a chartered Royal Air Maroc plane, raising fears the material was planted for use in a terror attack. The wad of plastic explosives - similar to that carried by alleged shoe-bomber Richard Reid - had been wedged beneath an armrest with no detonation device attached.

On Tuesday night, after boozing it up with his "pals" he snatches a wad of cash from the hands of an unsavvy pedestrian. Where the book could now turn heavy with plot or philosophy, "Crime and Punishment"-style, instead Paul casually continues his life, flirting with women and planning a vacation with his ill-earned gains. What keeps you reading is the mystery...
...hadn't been so absurd. As Mike Tyson flexed his way into the Memphis Convention Center for the official weigh-in before tonight's highly anticipated boxing match, all 234.5 pounds of him seemed to suggest he was ready to rumble. His thick jaws working over a wad of gum, Tyson stood silently, grinning and mugging for reporters in his white shorts and white socks. The former heavyweight champion had nobody to antagonize, for the moment, anyway...
