| Sunday Jul 1, 2001 | There are plenty of psycho stories in the news today. But is anything from the past century more freakish than the story of Otto Sanhuber , the Bat Man, who lived 10 years in the attic of his mistress -- in two cities (Milwaukee and Los Angeles) --then killed her husband?

| It's time to mow your lawn again. Why not try a hot-rod weed whacker? For those of the Amish persuasion (or who just want to intimidate the neighbors), there's always a good old-fashioned scythe. And if that's too much work, you can just buy a lawn-mowing robot to do the job as you relax in your hammock. to Technology by sylvar |
| Yes, those monarchs were crazy. But not just Caligula and "Mad King" George III. Sample many others, including Murad IV, who hated women -- a lot!, and Ludwig II of Bavaria -- who build some crazy castles (Why do all roads lead to Disney?) to Wackos by keiths |
