My univercity paper is usually quite dumb and uninformative. I usually only peruse the front page, opinion page, world and national headlines, and do the crossword (cheating only a little big

I share them with you... with a small commentary.
Fort Myer Beach, FLA.
Police found 26-year-old Jeremy Miljour naked, breaking windows and asking women to touch him. When Miljour fled, Cpl. Matt Chitwood fired a Taser gun. One of the prongs accidentally hit Miljour in the genitals and was stuck. Miljour was treated at a jospital and charged with indecent exposure, resisting an officer and criminal damage.

The last known surviving soldier who witnessed the World War I Christmas Truce in 1914 with German soldiers died Monday at the age of 109 according to his Parish Priest. The Christmas Truce happened when soldiers from both sides ceased fire and came out of the trenches to sing Christmas carols together.
