A Few Amusing Stories

PALERMO, Italy (Reuters) - An Italian couple stole 50,000 euros from a woman in the Sicilian city of Palermo after convincing her they were vampires who would impregnate her with the son of the Anti-Christ if she did not pay them.

The man, a cabaret singer, and his girlfriend took the money from their victim over four years by selling her pills at 3,000 euros each that they said would abort the Anti-Christ's son.

Police uncovered the fraud after the 47-year-old woman's family became concerned when they discovered she had spent all her savings, local news agencies AGI and ANSA reported.

Mr. Ed is Dead?! That is pretty damn funny! I don't think I would be eating at that restaraunt though. The third story is funny.....reminds me of a time in a bar when a man in a kilt walked in. My friend couldn't resist putting her camera phone under the kilt....we really wanted to know what was under there. Not much!

Well I'm not wearing a skirt to Wal-Mart anymore...

That first story is so sad lol - I can totally see my grandma getting sucked into believing something like that.

You know, even though slow news days really makes the news services useless (their true nature), these are quite amusing. Love the second item. "Mr. Ed is dead" . Priceless.
