Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Debra Hewitt, 47, Lafayette Parish, Louisiana Debra Hewitt Convicted Of Using Prosthetic Leg To Kill Boyfriend It took a Louisiana jury less than two hours last week to convict a 47-year-old homeless woman of killing her boyfriend with her own prosthetic leg. Debra Hewitt -- whose nickname "Angel" has led her to be called the "Angel of Death" -- was convicted for the killing in which she stomped on her boyfriend, Dwayne Ball, and then took off her prosthetic leg and beat him in the head with it, the Advocate reported. The decomposing body of 47-year-old Ball was found about six weeks later in Lafayette Parish. He had been choked, beaten, stabbed and left for dead. "The Angel of Death happened across Dwayne Ball in January and the state submits to you that the Angel of Death sits right there," prosecutor Pat Magee told jurors before their deliberation. Her second-degree murder conviction carries a mandatory life sentence. Magee didn't mention Hewitt's previous murder charges -- both of which were either dismissed or reduced -- or her alleged accomplice, John Romine, who will be tried for second-degree murder next month, according to KPEL. Hewitt maintains that she stabbed Ball in the leg while Romine, whom she said she was also dating, strangled Ball from behind, the Associated Press reported. Hewitt also argued that she was acting in self defense because Ball was threatening her, and that she tried to call for help after the incident. But Magee disagreed. "Do reasonable people let their loved ones rot for weeks?" Magee said to the jury. "No reasonable person who felt scared, who thought that a homicide was justified, would have done that." DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Ross Re: Use old PC for backup Dear Webby I've got an old computer that's seen it's better days, and was wondering if it would be as simple as hooking up a USB cable to extract files on it, and then using it for a backup? Sounded a little to simple to do it that way so figured I ask, and see if it really is. Thanks for all you do, Ross Dear Ross Yes, sure you can network the machines, but simply using the old machine's drive in a USB drive case is easier on your electrical bill and saves desk space. No need for another computer, monitor and keyboard. No need to run that machine, if all you want is it's drive. Just get a USB hard drive case for 4"x6" drives and pop the drive from the old machine into it. As soon as you plug that into the USB port, you see the extra drive in the new machine. Have FUN!

On Sunday afternoon, my father had had just about enough of his four-year-old grandson's antics. He firmly put him on a chair and told him to sit still. My son didn't budge, but after a minute asked, "What happened, Grandpa? Did you have a bad day at church?" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
On a family vacation one summer, we crossed Wyoming and noted several historical points of interest. The children were especially interested because they enjoyed the computer game "Oregon Trail," which gives players a taste of the hardships the pioneers endured. We stopped at the famous South Pass to look at the wagon tracks still visible in the dirt. Squinting out over the desolate, wind-swept landscape, my daughter nodded and said grimly, "This is where my oxen always die." ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com File Away Warranties and Manuals When you buy a new product, create a file folder for the warranty information and manual.

___________________________________________________ A priest and a minister are standing by the road, pounding a sign into the ground. The sign reads: "The End is Near! Turn Yourself Around Now Before It's Too Late!" A car speeds past them, the driver yelling, "Go to hell, you religious nuts!" There is the sound of screeching tires followed by a big splash. The priest turns to the minister and asks, "Do you think the sign should just say 'Bridge Out?'" ___________________________________________________ A police car pulls up in front of grandma Sarah's house, and grandpa Morris gets out. The polite policeman explained that this elderly gentleman said that he was lost in the park ... and couldn't find his way home. "Oy Morris," said grandma, " You've been going to that park for over 30 years! So how could you get lost?" Leaning close to grandma, so that the policeman couldn't hear. Morris whispered, "Lost I wasn't.....just too tired to walk home I was." ___________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.

Thanks to Lillemor for this report: When the impending threat of hurricane Gustav was heading to Louisianna, the Governor of Louisiana issued a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. In response to this order the Governor of Texas ordered the demolition of all bridges between the two states. Texas figured it would be cheaper to rebuild the bridges. ___________________________________________________ | Today, June 11 in 1346 Charles IV of Luxembourg was elected Holy Roman Emperor in Germany. 1509 King Henry VIII married his first of six wives, Catherine of Aragon. 1770 Captain James Cook discovered the Great Barrier Reef off of Australia when he ran aground. 1776 In America, the Continental Congress formed a committee to draft a Declaration of Independence from Britain. 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte took the island of Malta. 1889 The Washington Business High School opened in Washington, DC.
