 Man Arrested After Calling 911 To Alert Authorities About Alien Invasion 
 The 28-year-old Florida Man was arrested early yesterday for misuse of the 911 system after he placed a bizarre 1:45 AM call to the police emergency line. Fleurant told an operator that he was seeing aliens, little ones flying low to the ground, according to an arrest affidavit. The Vero Beach resident added that he did not want to go Independence Day on them, an apparent reference to the movie starring Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, and Bill Pullman. In the 1996 film, an invasion by alien aircraft is repelled, but not before earthlings suffer widespread death and destruction (including the incineration of poor Harvey Fierstein). Fleurant is locked up on $500 bond on the misdemeanor charge. His rap sheet includes convictions for battery, theft, and probation violation.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Kathy RE: IE browser size   Dear Webby: How can I make the IE browser size stay put in the size I want? Thanks Kathy  Dear Kathy You must be one of the last IE users. OK, here i the approved method for that: It's a bit of a rigamarole, and MSIE does not remember it forever, but it usually works for a week or two. Close ALL open MSIE windows. Open MSIE, right click on a link in the page you opened, and select Open in New Window from the context menu. Resize the new window to the size you want all IE windows to be when you open them by clicking a link. Hold down the Shift key and click the Close icon (X) at the top right of the window to close the new window. Resize the first window you opened to the size you want IE to be when you launch the browser. Close it by holding down Shift and clicking the Close icon. Now your IE windows should open in the sizes you've set, depending on how you open the browser (from a link or by clicking the IE icon to launch the browser). Have FUN! DearWebby

 The aspiring psychiatrists were attending their first class on emotional extremes. "Just to establish some parameters," said the professor, to the student from Arkansas, "What is the opposite of joy?" "Sadness," said the student. "And the opposite of depression?" he asked of the young lady from Oklahoma. "Elation," said she. "And you sir," he said to the young man from Texas, "How about the opposite of woe?" The Texan replied, "Sir, I believe that would be giddy-up." ____________________________________________ A paramedic was asked on a local TV talk-show program: "What was your most unusual and challenging 911 call?" "Recently we got a call from that big white church at 11th and Walnut," the paramedic said. "A frantic usher was very concerned that during the sermon an elderly man passed out in a pew and appeared to be dead. The usher could find no pulse and there was no noticeable breathing." "What was so unusual and demanding about this particular call?" the interviewer asked. "Well," the paramedic said, "we carried out four guys before we found the one who was dead." ____________________________________________ Q: If there is H2O on the inside of a fire hydrant, what is on the outside?
