You can't make this up

Here's a pair of stories from the "Strange but true" file...

Prepared for that heart attack he's been saving up. Bill Bramanti, a 67-year-old from South Chicago Heights, already has his coffin picked out -- a giant Pabst Blue Ribbon beer can. When he's not hastening off the mortal coil, he's using the coffin as a cooler. Bramanti is sort of shaped like a beer can (5'9", 280 lbs.).

This is out of hand. A Yankees fan from Nashua, N.H., faces second-degree murder and drunk driving charges for running a man down with her car outside a bar late last week. She was mad that he and his friends were shouting "Yankees Suck." They're 17-16 right now, but "Yankees are slightly above average" doesn't have the same ring.
