Benny the Bull Gets Sued

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Benny the Bull, the Chicago Bulls' mascot, is being sued after a failed attempt to give a high five. On February 12th, Dr. Don Kalant was sitting courtside when he raised his arm to get a high five when the mascot grabbed his arm as he fell forward.

The dentist stayed for the rest of the game with a hyperextended arm and a ruptured bicep muscle. Because of these injuries the dentist could miss as much as four months of work and has had to have surgery.

Kalant is suing Barry Anderson, who wears the mascot uniform, for being negligent and "running out of control" through the crowd. The New Orleans Hornets defeated the Chicago Bulls 100 - 86 that night.

Marathon Runners Warned Not to Hunt the Livestock or Flash the Public

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

Six warriors from a Maasai tribe in Tanzania who are competing in the London Marathon to raise money for supplies in their homeland have been given a guide to the UK by charity Greenforce.

The guide stresses the importance of wearing underpants as in the UK "it is illegal to show certain parts of the body" and the warriors will be running in traditional attire including shields and spears.

The guide also indicates that one should relieve one's self in toilets rather than bushes, that Brits seem sillier when drunk, and that they should not to hunt any livestock they see in their travels.
