Drug Sniffer Dog Dies of Overdose - A police sniffer dog died of a suspected overdose while out hunting for drugs, British police said on Monday. Todd, a 7-year-old Springer spaniel, had been looking for drugs in a field and car in Preston, northern England, when his handler noticed he was looking unwell. He died shortly afterwards.

This is sad.

Driving Teacher Without License for 43 Years - A Berlin driving instructor who taught more than 1,000 motorists how to drive says he never got a driver's license because he was too nervous to retake the test after he failed the first time -- 43 years ago.

Since he had failed his test and was afraid to retake it for over forty-three years - - do you suppose he passed a lot of drivers who should have failed because he didn't want them to feel bad?

Roger Clemens Ejected From Son's Game - Houston Astros pitcher Roger Clemens was asked to leave a youth baseball game over the weekend for arguing a close call that went against his son's team. He spit sunflower seeds at an umpire's leg and was asked to leave, said Jim Carpenter, a field supervisor with Triple Crown.

Hmmm Roger, it's not the World Series.

Kerry Edwards Web Site Name Is for Sale - A Web site with the same name as the Democratic presidential ticket failed to attract the $150,000 minimum bid its owner wanted at an online auction. Kerry Edwards, 34, of Indianapolis, registered his kerryedwards.com Web address in March 2002 to post family photographs online. Kerry Edwards previously said the Kerry campaign had asked him to donate the Web address.

I wouldn't pay that for a Kerry / Edwards web address. I wouldn't even pay that for a George W. Bush address. But I'm not surprised that Kamp Kerry would ask for it to be donated instead of offering to purchase it.

Passenger Arrested for English Exercise - A Japanese man flying to Ohio was arrested after he was seen writing down the words "suicide bomb," but he was released without charge after explaining that it was an impromptu English exercise. The 60-year-old man told investigators he came across the words in a newspaper and wanted to look up their meaning, police spokeswoman Alice Casanova said. "He teaches himself English by reading newspapers," she said. "It was all just a miscommunication."

Good thing his lesson wasn't to look up the words, "I am a terrorist".
