Did you hear the one about the dog busted out of the pound so it could attend its owner's funeral?

We've heard some strange things this week over at ROUTE 1 WORLD H.Q.
ROUTE 1 readers have heard some strange things, too, judging from the answers to this week's FRIDAY QUESTION:
"What is the weirdest news you have heard this week?"
MIKE D. -- Gotta be the Smiley Face Gang, allegedly involved in the drowning death of an East Dubuque man a few years ago.
ELLEN B. -- This is good and only at Wal-Mart: "Strange Behavior results in Arrest. Police were called to the Dubuque Wal-Mart store at 11:40 p.m. Tuesday on a report of 'an intoxicated subject rolling around in a bag of chips.' Brian L. Jameson, 34, 444 Angella St., was arrested on a charge of public intoxication. After he refused to get into the police squad car, a charge of interference with official acts was added, police said."
BRIAN C. -- I'll go with the widow who was trapped for days under the body of her obese -- and recently deceased -- husband. The sick, incestuous man in Europe is too sick to be classified "weird." "Weird" can convey an odd or sometimes even humorous element; nothing of the sort with that sicko.
MIKE M. -- "Biggest squid ever caught may be a minnow."
There are live Webcasts, photo galleries, the dissection and thawing schedule and colossal squid blog available from Te Papa, the Museum of New Zealand, located here.
JIM S. -- That snow was predicted (and fell) on April 28, 2008, an exact year after I married Kristen Smith on a warm -- albeit windy -- and sunny day in Dubuque. We'll remember both days well. Wonder what April 28, 2009 has in store for us all?
ERIK H. -- Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo was caught in a sex scandal involving three cross-dressing prostitutes. After dropping off his girlfriend at her house in Rio de Janeiro, the three-time FIFA World Player of the Year picked up three prostitutes. Once they arrived in a hotel room, Ronaldo discovered all three were men.
Ronaldo alleges the transvestites attempted to extort him. The prostitutes allege Ronaldo threatened them after discovering they were men. The AC Milan striker is in Brazil recovering from knee surgery.
