Around The Weird: Bizarre News Briefs

Nishio, Japan (WFN) -- A cross dresser in Nishio, Japan, is getting crossed with bad luck after trying unsuccessfully to steal a nurse's uniform from a hospital. Police say the 47-year-old transvestite might have eluded them if he hadn't insisted on wearing stiletto heels during his clothing crime spree.

VICTORIA, Australia -- Matilda Close is barely one week old but the tiny resident of Victoria, Australia, already has made a name for herself just by being born. That's because Matilda was born on Christmas Day -- the same day as both her mother and her grandmother. Statisticians tell news.com.au that the odds of that happening are about 1 in 48 million.

LEBANON, Ind. -- An Indiana man has bowled his way into the record books by rolling his balls down a lane for more than 52 hours straight. The official count on 52-year-old Gene Wethington's marathon session is 52 hours and 16 minutes, during which he played 270 games and knocked over 31,789 pins. After reaching his goal, the bowler told the "Indianapolis Star," "It's a big relief."

LONDON -- Who would you rather be tied to during a tandem skydive, Homer Simpson or George W. Bush? If you're anything like most Brits who took a recent poll, you'd go with the cartoon character. According to the survey by the London-based charity Leonard Cheshire, 20 percent of people would trust Homer as a skydiving partner, but only 8 percent would trust "Dubya."
