Our Overseas Cousins
Moscow: Police have arrested a man suspected of having robbed several women in a Moscow park.
The man would accost his victims while in the nude : startling most so badly they would drop their purses and flee. A few victims stood their ground , and were robbed by force.
Police officers became suspicious , when they observed the defendant prowling through the park - in the nude.
( It is difficult to put one over on the Moscow Militsia ! )
Edinburgh : A member of the House of Lords has been charged with setting fire to the drapes of an Edinburgh hotel.
The fire spread quite rapidly : endangering the guests, and damaging an interior wall of the hotel.
The defendant identified only as Lord Watson is a member of the British and the Scottish Parliaments , and allegedly set the fire shortly after being named Scottish Politician of the Year.
(First George Galloway, then Lord Watson ! Pray its not contagious !! )
Kalingrad : A 21 year-old man has been arrested in this Russian Baltic city for attempting to play vampire.
The suspect allegedly entered a house and stabbed two senior citizens presumably in an attempt to obtain their blood ; then ran out to the street,stabbed a well-aged woman , and tried to drink her blood.
The three victims were hospitalized for their wounds.
The Dracula Wannabee has been hospitalized as well : for extensive mental health tests.
(Hokay, Boris : No more Dark Shadows re-runs for you ! )
LOL. Very sharp, those guys.
