We're going to start off this week talking about a tale of two star crossed lovers, or two lovers who got hit so hard they saw stars. Dr. David Wielechowski allegedly knocked his wife, Christa, to the floor with a karate-style kick after an argument on their wedding night. When two people tried to break it up and they all got into a fight causing over 1,000 dollars in damage. When Annie and I got married, she drop kicked my heart with a shot of love (my wife wrote that joke.)

Do you need a new bed or anything else to decorate your house? Then go to Orange County California's Craigslist site. The former business, Club Amnesty, says everything must go listing all types of furniture, including 26 mattresses, on the popular site. Be careful, though, the business is a former swinger's club so if you get any linens I'd wash them first.

Here's a new way to combat rising gas prices: appeal to a higher power. A choir director from Washington DC recently staged a pray-in at a California gas station hoping to ease the pain at the pump. Now I lay me down to sleep, the price of gas is way to steep. So please make OPEC do more drilling, because my car it needs a filling.

The state of Illinois isn't happy with Dave Heilmann, the mayor of Oak Lawn. He started putting little slogans under stop signs in the town to combat speeding. Heilmann thought things like "in the naame of love" or "and smell the roses" under the octagonal traffic signs were making an impact. the government sent him a letter but that's not very creative. it should have sent him something like this.

Have you ever seen a dead deer on the roadside and thought it would make a great trophy? If so, roadkillrecordbook.com is the website for you. It's dedicated solely to roadkill. Founder Richard Sanders came up with the idea after he found a bear, bigger than any trophy he'd ever seen, on the side of the road. Record books don't recognize roadkill so he came up with the alternative. I thought roadkill was only good for eating.

And finally a Saudi Arabian governor has a novel way of punishing men who hit on women. Prince Fahd Bin Badr has ordered police to cut men's hair if they're caught flirting in public. The punishment came about after he saw a group of long haired men pitching woo at a group of females. Steve, I'm going to go ahead and warn you: you might want to postpone that trip to the middle east, bald isn't a good look for you.
