I suppose the story about the commerical airliner landing at an Air Force Base in error should be listed as a big "oops" but the Air Force was not taking it lightly and confined everyone to the aircraft for three hours while interrogating the crew. The passengers even had to keep the window shades down. Gosh, what did they have that was so secret at Ellsworth A.F.B? Once the crew was interrogated, a new Northwest crew was sent in to get the plane to its intended destination of Rapid City, South Dakota. You don't suppose that base houses UFOs do you???

The biggest weekend in San Francisco baseball this season is over as the Boston Red Sox came to town for the first time ever. The Giants spoiled their party by winning two of the three games. GO GIANTS! Now the Dodgers come to town for four games. If this work out right, we could be in first place by the end of the week.

Uh...oh..."A camouflage-clad German man wielding a samurai sword attacked at least seven hikers in forests west of Berlin, performing sword tricks before ordering them to leave the woods, police said Friday.
They suspect a 46-year-old local man who trained in martial arts and survival skills in camps in Papua New Guinea and Vietnam to be the attacker.

"He's dangerous and has been hard to find because he wears camouflage," said Catrin Feistauer, spokeswoman for the Nauen police department. Police have used infrared cameras mounted on helicopters to try and track him down.

The man pushed two elderly people off their bikes and, flashing his sword, shouted at them to leave the forest. He later tried to drive a young couple out of the woods. No one was seriously hurt.

It's frightening because the violence level has increased each time," Feistauer said."

Well, now, weren't we told not to go into the woods alone when we were kids? Looks like you need to take a whole Army with you in Germany right now.
