How many stupid people are out there? Well, here's one: Jan. 10, 2003, 3:05PM Lithuanian hit-and-run teen takes dead man home Reuters News Service VILNIUS, Lithuania - A teenage Lithuanian hit-and-run driver thought he was in the clear once he got home -- only to discover the pedestrian he had knocked down was still under the car. The unlicensed 18-year-old was shocked to see a man's feet sticking out from under his father's Audi, the daily Lietuvos Rytas reported Friday. Police were able to identify the remains of the 64-year-old victim, who they said had been drunk and was probably lying in the middle of the street when the car struck him. "But it goes to show why this kid has failed the driver's test four times," said Stasys Meliunas, chief of police in the town of Rokiskis.

Or this one: Jan. 8, 2003, 10:22AM Family keeps pet eel in bath - for 33 years Reuters News Service BERLIN - A German family has kept a live eel in their bathtub for the past 33 years and even trained it to swim into a bucket when someone needs to wash. "He's part of our family," said Hannelore Richter of Bochum in western Germany, whose husband Paul caught the eel on a fishing trip in 1969 and took it home for supper. His children fell in love with the eel, refusing to let him kill and cook it, and since then it has lived in the bath, shared it with the children when they were small -- and has even moved with the family, German newspapers reported. "It's a weird situation," zoologist Walter Gettmann said. "He has certainly lost the skills needed to survive in the wild. But if he is fed properly, he can survive in a tub."
