From Cyprus:
Nicosia/ Grave robbers stole the corpse of former hardline Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos, digging up his coffin during a thunderstorm just before the first anniversary of his death, police said Friday.

Police said the tomb raiders struck late Thursday or early Friday. There was no immediate indication of a motive and police would not confirm a state television report that three people were being questioned in connection with the robbery.

This is terrible, just terrible. Can you believe that robbers actually stole Tassos Papadopoulos? I mean out of all the dead people in the world they take this fellow.

Do you realize who this guy was? Well me neither. But they robbed him in the middle of a thunderstorm - brilliant!!

The cowboy lay sprawled across three entire seats in the posh Amarillo theater.

When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the cowboy, "Sorry, sir, but you're only allowed one seat." The cowboy groaned but didn't budge.

The usher became more impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there, I'm going to have to call the manager." The cowboy just groaned.

The usher marched briskly back up the aisle. In a moment he returned with the manager. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move the cowboy, but with no success. Finally, they summoned the police.

The cop surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right Buddy, what's you're name?"

"Sam," the cowboy moaned.

"Where ya from, Sam?"
With agony in his voice, Sam whispered.... "The balcony."
