Parrot awarded for yelling about choking baby

Mon Mar 23, 9:00 pm ET
DENVER – A parrot that alerted his owner about a baby who was choking was recognized as a hero by the Red Cross. Willie the parrot was given the Animal Lifesaver Award during the "Breakfast of Champions" event attended by Gov. Bill Ritter and Mayor John Hickenlooper.
Willie received the award Friday for his actions in November, when he and owner Megan Howard were baby-sitting a toddler. Willie repeatedly yelled "Mama, baby" when Howard went to the bathroom and the toddler started to choke on her breakfast.
Howard saved the baby by performing the Heimlich maneuver but she said Willie "is the real hero."

Fla. student suspended for passing gas

LAKELAND, Fla. - An eighth-grader was suspended from riding the school bus for three days after being accused of passing gas. The bus driver wrote on a misbehavior form that a 15-year-old teen passing gas on the bus Monday to make the other children laugh, creating a stench so bad that it was difficult to breathe. The bus driver handed the teen the suspension form the next day.

The bizzare death of Ronald Carnaby

---

Roland Carnaby flashed a CIA ID when pulled over for speeding. The cop did not believe it. Carnaby also had a CCW permit which would have been redundant.

Carnaby calls an Internal Affairs detective in the Houston Police department and hands the phone to the officer. The Detective tells the officer that Carnaby was "probably"* a CIA agent. The cop did not like that answer.

The officer than contacted the HPD criminal intellegence and major offenders units and was told that Carnaby was known to them and a likely faud. The officer was instructed to "find something to arrest him on; you can't arrest him for speeding"*. *--both these quotes are from a Houston PD spokesman.

When Carnaby was told to step out of the vehicle the second time he flead and led police on a high speed chase. While driving Carnaby called a friend who was "possible FBI" who aparently told him to pull over.

Carnaby stopped and his car was swarmed by police. After police broke his window, carnaby was shot and killed as he stepped out of his car.

The FBI is refusing to comment. The CIA says they have no relationship to Carnaby. His house is full of photos of at of himself at CIA events and CIA employee recognition plaques.
