In Other News.... A Philadelphia Inquirer analysis in December questioned military rulings that suicide was the cause of at least 40 recent deaths of U.S. servicemen. The newspaper quoted former military investigators who said they were "stunned" or "astonished" at how shoddy some of the 40 investigations were, and how the military often calls hard-to-solve cases suicides just to close them out. In one case, a military policeman's death was ruled a suicide two days after he was found shot to death in the head with his hat stuffed in his mouth, his handcuffs attached to his wrists, his holster wrapped around his ankles, and a car radio cable tied around his neck.

Several satisfied clients of an animal psychologist sang praises for the work, including even the owner of a horse that was on the verge of being put to sleep but was able to tell the psychologist that he was simply overmedicated. (Five weeks later, the horse won a race.) In a related story, famous canine, Poochess, whose master Kasha has often been caught nibbling at her kibble after a series of Microsoft shorts, says that she is glad she talked to the animal psychologist, and now understands why she feels compelled to bless the joggers and chase the rabbitty squirrels. " I understand that it was the sense of abandonment in the litter .. it's why I am angry. And the cause for my dropping huge bungs where unsuspecting joggers will take a fanciful trip to meet Mother Earth. As for the squirrels .. I think they remind me of Kasha.. who often steals my kibble.. just after I hear shouts of 'Somofabeech.. that Bgatescan^%&$%$^#@!!'" Poochess added that any trouble she had caused was due to the fact that DSGumby often sneaks into the yard after dark and attempts to ply her with filet mignon, and she becomes very confused.

Tales of The Marriage of DSGumby In upholding a divorce court ruling in September, the South Dakota Supreme Court concurred that the fault for the dissolution of the marriage lay clearly with the husband. The divorce court had found that, among the man's several disturbing patterns was his habit of passing gas frequently around the house and reacting testily to his wife's complaints about it. According to the wife, the husband was easily able to regulate the offensive activity and would pass gas as a "retaliation thing." Two supreme court justices dissented to the size of the wife's alimony award, with one commenting, "[T]he price of gas is going up in Sioux Falls."

DSGumby Loses His Truck Driving Job Edmonton, Alberta, police cruisers chased and stopped a Loomis armored car in May after a report that it was weaving erratically on the road and that a guard appeared to be signaling by repeatedly swinging a door open. There was no holdup, according to police spokesman Kelly Gordon; rather, one of the guards had passed gas, and the other guard was attempting to air out the cab.
