On Borneo, close encounter with ape.
Reuters
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
An orangutan stripped a French tourist as he was strolling in a Malaysian
park on Borneo Island, an official said yesterday.
The orangutan grabbed the tourist and pulled off his pants, shirt and
underwear, the national news agency Bernama quoted the official as saying.
The ape fled into the woods with the clothes, the agency said. The tourist
ran naked to the park's offics and borrowed clothes from a group of tourists.

Measure No. 9 in the State of Oregon, up for vote this November, is
described as follows:
9: AMENDS CONSTITUTION: GOVERNMENT CANNOT FACILITATE, MUST
DISCOURAGE HOMOSEXUALITY, OTHER "BEHAVIORS"
...All governmnets in Oregon may not use their monies or
properties to promote, encourage, or facilitate
homosexuality, pedophilia, sadism, or masochism...
An argument published in the General Voter's Pamphlet (space purchased
for $300) by the Special Righteousness Committee reads as follows:
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR
According to the book of Leviticus in the Bible, oyster-eating,
crossbreading cattle, shaving a beard, wearing clothing made of mixed
fibers, cursing one's parents, and adultery are just as immoral as
homosexuality. If the OCA's "No Special Rights" committee wants to
take one of the 3,000-year-old laws of ritual holiness from Leviticus
and put it into the Bill of Rights in the state constitution, they
should be sincere enough to put all the rest of Leviticus into the
constitution as well. It's a simple matter of respect for these
historic laws to treat them consistently.
We at the Special Rightousness Committee are just as offended by the
oyster-eating, shaving and mixed fibers as the OCA is offended by
homosexuality, and we have just as much right as the OCA does to
change the state constitution to require government discrimination
against people whose behavior we don't like.
My friends, do you want the public schools teaching your children that
shaving is a legitimate and equal alternative style to a normal and
healthy beard? Would you want to be forced to hire an oyster-eater to
direct your church choir? Adam and Eve wore fig leaves--100 percent
fig leaves--and this is divine proof that those disgustingly unnatural
cotton/polyester blends are sinful. And when the OCA was analyzing
the threat to traditional family values, we don't know how they
managed to overlook adultery! Why, there's a lot more adultery than
homosexuality going on out there, and extrapolations from OCA
statistics show that 90 percent of the people who have engaged in
sexual perversions are heterosexual ("straight").
The state condones adultery by not punishing it with death as required
by Leviticus. It promotes oyster-eating by licensing seafood
resturants, and it allows people to take mixed fibers out of the
closet and to flaunt them right out in public without being fired or
evicted! The state is encouraging sin!
If the OCA can have the special right to make their personal moral
agenda into public policy, then anyone else should be able to amend
the state Bill of Rights to eliminate basic human rights for people
who they don't like.
Let's put ALL of Leviticus into the constitution! A "yes" vote is the
first step in facilitating our militant moral agenda.
AGREE WITH US OR BURN IN HELL!

Car break-in ring cracked; youth shows the way
By Tom Alex - Register Staff Writer
[I have only entered the paragraphs that contained computer information]
Des Moines police this week broke a sophisticated youth theft
ring that was using license plate numbers and state records to locate
cars for late-night break-ins.
The youths would spot cars with expensive stereo gear in
parking lots during the day and then use Iowa Department of
Transportation computer records to determine where cars would be
parked at night.
With the license plate numbers, the teenager went to an Iowa
Department of Transportation office at Park Fair Mall and used public
access computers to learn the home addresses of the owners of the
vehicles.
He and his cohorts didn't want to break into the vehicles when
there were a lot of potential witnesses around, police said, so they
found addresses from registration information and visited the victims
at their leisure.
Security problems with public access computers cropped up
last year shortly after the computer terminals were installed, said
Jan Hardy, assistant office director with vehicle registration.
A case worked in the juvenile system reported having a client
who had been using the terminals for illegal activities.
Shortly afterward, officials developed a security system to
help curtail illegal acts. People wishing to look up license plate
numbers must identify themselves to the computer.
"If they use the front counter terminal and sign on
themselves, that does provide at least some tracking of inquires,"
said Hardy.
