From News of the Weird: Recurring themes (1) In an incident likely to be repeated as Americans get larger, the body of a 600-pound man who was cremated at the Garner Funeral Home in Salt Lake City in October started a grease fire when leaking body fluids overheated the conventional oven. [KTVX-TV (Salt Lake City), 10-25-06] (2) John Leonard Young, 46, pleaded guilty in October to the now-familiar charge of using the Internet to lure an underage girl for sex, but the backstory was unusual. Though Young had bought her a plane ticket to Seattle, she decided to buy her own ticket but mistakenly booked "Washington, D.C." When she arrived there all alone, she sought help from authorities, and Young's plot unraveled. [Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 10-24-06]
