Rich's Crazy News Story Of The Day:
Two Chinese men who found a horde of priceless antiques in an ancient tomb did not realize their value and sold them for pennies. One of the artworks was a pottery figure of a woman worth nearly $156,000. The men from Henan province say they found the tomb while hunting rabbits in a field near their homes. They were shocked to later discover that the tomb they had found dated back to the 1,000-year-old Sui Tang Dynasty.

Officer Hancock's police blotter:
Down in Louisiana, a Bossier Parish sheriff's deputy stopped a car for a loud exhaust. The driver seemed nervous when he was pulled over. The deputy smelled marijuana, searched the suspect's car and found two bags of grass. The driver allegedly put an unknown amount of marijuana into his mouth just after he was stopped. The deputy saw marijuana on his lips, and found that he had some in his mouth.
This is Officer Hancock. Be careful. There are a lot of wackos out there!

(The most powerful name in odd news)
A Rhode Island man who says he couldn't afford veterinary care for his dog has been charged with illegally operating on the pet. 63 year old Alan MacQuattie recently removed a cyst from the leg of his 14-year-old Labrador mix. The dog was operated on again by professionals to deal with an infection from the first surgery. MacQuattie, who says he is disabled and living on Social Security, said he used local anesthetic to operate on the cyst and removed it on his own since he doesn't have money for a veterinarian.

Rich's Early Morning Chuckle:
A Southern preacher was using the new sound system of the church for the first time and jerking the microphone cord along behind him as he briskly moved about the platform. He had never heard his voice amplified like that and was getting right into the spirit of things moving just as wildly as he was yelling into the microphone.
As he moved farther over to one side, he got wound up in the cord and nearly tripped before jerking it free again. After several circles and jerks, Little Johnny leaned toward his mother and whispered, "If he gets loose, we better run!"

Rich's Crazy News Story Of The Day:
In Alabama, a Jefferson County jury has awarded a former stripper $100,000 in a lawsuit in which she claimed the club that employed her failed to stop her from driving home after her on-the-job drinking. Patsy Hamaker was injured in a wreck after leaving work at the strip club. She said she can no longer dance because of her injuries.

Officer Hancock's police blotter:
An Alabama man was charged with attempted murder after authorities said he drove his truck through the window of a service station. The Jefferson County Sheriff's office said a 49-year-old man pulled into a BP station on Alabama 75 in Pinson and got into a dispute with the clerk because the pump was turned off. The gas station has a pay-first policy.

A New York City fourth-grader was sent to the principal's office and nearly suspended for bringing a 2-inch toy gun to school. Nine-year-old Patrick Timoney and a friend were playing with Legos in the cafeteria at Public School 52 in Staten Island when Patrick produced the tiny plastic machine gun and put it in the hands of a plastic police officer. After Patrick's mother got a call from the school, his parents met with the principal and persuaded her not to discipline him if he agreed to leave the toy gun at home. The boy's father said the principal "went overboard."

Rich's Crazy News Story Of The Day:
Over in the UK, a pheasant is terrorizing a North Yorkshire village by trapping people in their homes and attacking them in the street. Women, children, bikes, dogs and cars are said to have have fallen foul of the bird in Newsham. Sonia Hall was attacked by the creature while she was out for a walk with her two-and-a-half-year-old grandson Jacob. The pheasant left her with a scar on her left leg. Authorities are still trying to catch the crazy bird. They say all the bird is doing is protecting what it considers to be its territory.

An alert sheriff's deputy on Long Island became suspicious this week when he saw the "passenger" wearing sunglasses and using the visor. The problem: The sky was overcast.

Scott Brown sworn in this afternoon
Republican Scott Brown will take over the late Senator Kennedy's long held seat with a swearing-in ceremony today.
They had a swearing-in ceremony for me when I came to the radio station. They marched me into the manager's office and I had to swear to the following:
* Never lock myself in the studio and stay on the air for long periods of time (remember when d.j.'s used to do that for a publicity stunt? With today's cutbacks, d.j.s now spend long hours in the studio so that stunt would not work).
* Promise never to leave the seat up int he men's room.
* Don't flirt with the receptionist.
* Never make fun of the boss on the air.

A woman was complaining to a policeman about the neighbor across the way. She took him up to her apartment and pointing across the court said, "It's an outrage the way those nudists are carrying on in that apartment--I'm ashamed."
The cop looked across the court and said, "I can't see anything going on in there."
"Is that so?" she cried, "you just put this chair up on that dresser and stand on it! Take these binoculars and you'll see plenty."
