1996 -- In December, a North Carolina appeals court turned down inmate Mark McCrimmon's petition for money from the state's fund to compensate victims of violent crimes. A lower court had ruled him eligible, despite the fact that his injury occurred when he tried to steal a $20 bill from a man in a store and was in turn shot by the store owner, paralyzing McCrimmon from the waist down. (The lower court had ruled that since the shooting of McCrimmon for taking $20 was excessive, the shooting itself was a crime of which McCrimmon was a "victim.")



1995 -- In January, anesthesiologist Channagirie Manjanatha pleaded guilty to criminal negligence in Regina, Saskatchewan, for leaving the room for 15 minutes during surgery to make a phone call, thus leaving an oxygen machine unmonitored, which resulted in brain damage to the patient. And in November, the North Carolina Board of Medical Examiners suspended neurosurgeon Raymond Sattler for nine incidents including one in which he took a lunch break in the middle of aneurysm surgery, leaving the patient's brain exposed with no other physician in the room.

1994 -- In February, the Austin American-Statesman profiled John Stapp, a troubleshooter for the Travis County, Texas, sewage treatment plant, who might be the nation's only professional sewage diver. Stapp dons a diving suit, mask, breathing tube, and air-powered tools to perform repairs on the 60,000-gallon, 16-by-40-foot containment vat. Said Stapp, "It's just a job to me that requires a lot of skill that not everybody has." A typical repair job requires Stapp to be submerged for four hours or more, in zero visibility. Stapp describes the job as "very quiet and peaceful" and says that, at the end of a shift, the thing usually on his mind is food: "I'm usually starved when I get through."

1996 -- Mike Marcum, the Missouri guy who made News of the Weird in 1995 after he stole six power company transformers he said were necessary to make his time machine (so he could find out the winning lottery number and come back and buy a ticket), called a radio show from Nevada in October 1996 and said he was only 30 days away from finishing his invention. His Missouri landlord had evicted him for various electrical misadventures in his apartment.

1992 -- Davenport, Iowa, police officer Wayne Dawson filed a lawsuit recently against the Donut Time shop over a January 1991 incident in which he slipped on ice on the shop's walkway. He had been taking a break in the shop and was about to go back on duty.

1995 -- In October, William Soule, 71, on probation on DUI charges in Dubuque, Iowa, turned himself in and said he'd rather go to jail. Said Soule, "I can't take another year of probation." And in September, Kansas prisoner Joe Carr, 77, convicted of murder in 1941, passed up his parole-board hearing for the 15th consecutive time. But another Kansas inmate, murderer Marvin D. Brockett, 64, is vying for parole. Since age 7, Brockett has been free of correctional facilities for a total of only three years. (It would figure it's about drinking. )

1995 -- In May, 3,300 couples were married in a mass ceremony in Tehran designed to discourage bachelorhood and its attendant masturbation. Said Ayatollah Mohammed Yazdi, "[The masturbator's] eyes, his nerves, many of his body organs will be so affected that medical science cannot cure him."


See what can happen...

1992 -- In June, the student-written newspaper at the Parker elementary school in Billerica, Mass., published an article, "15 Ways to Kill Your Sister" (e.g., "Drop her off the top of a building"). The paper is supervised by a female teacher with 20 years' experience, who reportedly thought the story was very creative.



I would keep an eye on MPI, Gelly...

1992 -- The New Haven (Conn.) Register reported in February that a thief made off with 32 boxes of Monistat-7 suppositories from the Old Saybrook, Conn., Stop & Shop after telling a security guard that he was infected with the HIV virus and threatening to bite the guard.

1993 -- Upset with the recent proposal of Connecticut Gov. Lowell Weicker to reduce state assistance to parochial schools, the principal of one of them, in Derby, Conn., Sister Linda Joseph, said in February, "I would pray that he burns forever in the fires of hell."

1996 -- School bus driver Kerri Lynn Patavino, 28, was convicted of statutory rape in Bridgeport, Conn., in August for having sex with a 14-year-old passenger, who said she put a spell on him and made him lick her blood. According to the boy, the two had sex more than a dozen times, and she sent him love letters signed in blood. Patavino admitted that she is a follower of Wicca, an ancient, witchcraft-practicing religion.
