The next day another operation happened, to remove a potentially fatal blood clot, and the patient was listed in stable condition. His CT scan was reportedly placed backward on the viewing screen before the original surgery. "Yeah, it's weird," the patient said. "I don't know much. They're still investigating. All I know is my head hurts." Allentown, Penns. A man faces 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to a series of robberies. It turns out the suspect had an affinity for robbing places nude... except for underwear over his head... to cover his face. The man says he was distraught over the imminent death of his mother. Redding, Calif. Driving along the nation's busy highways can be dangeous because of drunken birds. Intoxicated birds careened into car windshields and flew into the pavement, leaving scores of bird carcasses. "They had a real party," said a transportation spokesman. No people were injured. The birds had apparently been eating the parneyi cotoneaster berry, a fermenting fruit that gives birds an alcohol buzz. More than 20 years ago its bushes were planted by the state Department. Though they are hearty in dry, hot conditions, the berry bushes frequently fall prey to insects, so they are no longer considered suitable to plant, transportation officials said. Highway Patrol officers joke they have been unable so far to catch the drunken birds for FUI -flying under the influence. "They're not buying into the 'designated flier' program, either, and the T-shirts don't fit them," Highway Patrol spokesman Monty Hite said. A 97-year-old woman who was blind for five years suddenly regained her sight after she sneezed. She thought she was dreaming when she found she could see, and saids she didn't recognise herself when she looked in the mirror for the first time. "I thought: 'Who on earth is that?' My hair was white, and it was just turning grey when I last saw it. I can't really believe it myself, except I'm seeing and going around without my glasses."

Tired of the taskbar and its Start button parked at the bottom of the screen? No? Big deal! You can still change it anyway, just for kicks. Windows 98 allows you to position the taskbar on either side of the monitor, or at the top. Left click on the taskbar, and hold the mouse button down while dragging diagonally. The taskbar will suddenly snap to attention in the new location. To move it again, repeat this process, angling toward the new location of choice. Top, side, bottom. Whatever turns you on! If you park it on the side, you'll want to drag it a bit wider. Works great on bigger monitors!
