Don't try this at home! *** Colonel shot to death testing 'bullet-proof' belt A colonel in the Ivory Coast army was killed by gunfire as he tested a "magic" belt supposedly with powers to protect him from bullets, the official Ivorian daily Fraternite-Matin reported Wednesday. It said Col. Pascal Gbah, 49, died on the spot Monday night near the western town of Aboisso after being hit by a bullet fired from his own service pistol by a 20-year-old son of the magic belt's maker. The newspaper quoted Ghah's cousin Andre Gondo who made the belt as insisting that its protective powers were real, provided one abstained from sex while wearing it. Gbah, who was an electronics engineer in the army, is survived by a wife and six children. An army spokesman said Gondo had been arrested but that his son was on the run. (Reuters)

The Pope goes to visit the Seven Dwarfs. As he is finishing his speech on comparative religions, Dopey raises his hand to ask a question. "Mr. Pope, are there any dwarf nuns in Rome?". "No Dopey," responds the Pontiff, "there are not". "Mr. Pope, are there any dwarf nuns anywhere in Italy?", Dopey questions. "No Dopey," chuckles the Pope, "there are no dwarf nuns in Italy." "Mr. Pope," Dopey asks pleadingly, "are there any dwarf nuns anywhere in the world?" "No Dopey," the Pope says sadly, "there are no dwarf nuns anywhere in the world ." And softly in the background the six remaining dwarves start chanting, "Dopey screwed a penguin, Dopey screwed a penguin."
