On the set of the 1969 James Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" George Lazenby and Diana Rigg fought terribly on the set. When it came time to do the love scene, Rigg ate an entire onion for lunch prior to the filming of the scene.

As of tomorrow, employees will only be able to access the building using individual security cards. Pictures will be taken next Wednesday and employees will receive their cards in two weeks. (This was the winning quote from Fred Dales at Microsoft Corp in Redmond, WA.)

Age-old national relics and priceless works of art were given a thorough scrubbing with soap and water last month when local authorities ordered a cleaning crew into the Confucius Temple in Shandong province, southeast China. As a result the national treasures at the 2,500-year-old cradle of Chinese civilization are now beyond repair. The Government responded by sending an investigation team to Shandong. It discovered more evidence of gross negligence, including an incident in which a truck driver backed over a stone tablet covered with priceless calligraphy. In buildings around Dacheng Hall, the 100 foot-high Confucius memorial near where the sage is said to have taught in 500BC, the paint has peeled off in strips almost a foot long. Many local people who depend on tourism are outraged.

A 91-year-old Utah man, who authorities said drew free electricity from a nearby power line for decades, finally faces theft charges. Clarence Stucki is charged with stealing about $82,000 worth of power -- but officials from Logan Light and Power said Stucki admitted tapping into the line as World War II, so the total is likely much higher. The statute of limitations, however, prevents Stucki from being charged what the power company considers the full amount. The old crook would still be getting away with it if he hadn't called his local utility to complain about an outage. Crews correcting the problem discovered the diverted connection on the roof.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin - Only in Wisconsin would a robber give up a hostage in exchange for a chicken sandwich and a soda. A knife-wielding robber stormed into a Milwaukee shop and grabbed a young woman, threatening bodily harm unless staff members handed over some cash. The robber revealed during negotiations with shop worker Jaspal Singh that he was hungry. Singh gave the would-be robber a sandwich and a can of pop in exchange for the girl while discretely dialing the police. The robber sat and ate until the police arrived to arrest him.

DEVIZES, England - What seemed like a lucky break proved to be detrimental to Erlestoke prisoners Robert Denvey, Frank Riorden and Samuel Kerrigan. The trio escaped the penitentiary via a ladder they found conveniently propped against a prison wall and a car they found on the other side with its engine running. However, the eyes of fate were not smiling upon them and the trio crashed the car into a ditch in thick fog just a few miles from the prison. Too embarrassed to turn back, they handed themselves over to a woman out walking and asked her to call the police. This little excursion has added an extra 15 months jail time to each man's sentence.
