Calif. Motorist Struck by Flying Deer
BLACKHAWK, Calif. - Motorist Robert Brooks thought he hit a deer. That is, until he got out of his car and the deer hit him.
Brooks stopped his car Tuesday evening along a rural road 35 miles east of San Francisco to check for damage from the collision.
Nothing. No damage and no sign of the deer.
Then headlights from another car emerged and struck the animal, propelling it airborne into Brooks and breaking his ankle.
"He was in the wrong place at the wrong time," said California Highway Patrol Officer Steve Creel.
The deer was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are still looking for the driver of the second vehicle. -
Oh dear.

Ostrich on loose tramples car in bid for freedom
NICOSIA (Reuters) - A runaway ostrich that eluded police caused severe damage when it attacked a Mercedes car during a three-hour rampage.
"Somehow it got out of its pen. We sent two patrols after it, but in the meantime it caused some damage to the bonnet and bumper of a Mercedes before we caught it," a police official in Cyprus said.
The ostrich caused considerable damage when it pounced on the car, the daily Phileleftheros reported.
The ostrich is the largest of birds and can weigh at least 400 pounds. It is also the fastest creature on two legs and can run up to 43 miles per hour;
"It took us more than three hours to catch it," the police official said.
Maybe it has something against Mercedes cars -
poor merc owner, have to travel on ostrich for the time until car get repaired.
wonder if it is cover under insurance

Moon Unit Zappa tops celebrity children bizarre names poll
Sun Nov 13, 7:35 PM ET
Frank Zappa's daughter Moon Unit has topped a list of celebrity offspring with the most bizarre names, according to an online poll.
Another of the US singer-songwriter's four children -- Dweezil -- also makes the top 10 at number seven, but there are no mentions for the ground-breaking musician's two other children: Ahmed Emuukha Rodan and Diva Muffin.
Moon Unit Zappa won out ahead of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter, Apple.
Behind them followed Misty Kyd -- Texas singer Sharleen Spiteri's daughter -- Blur bass guitarist Alex James' son, Geronimo, and Heavenly Hirani Tiger Lily, the only daughter of the late INXS star Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates.
The survey of 2,300 people was carried out by online entertainment site getlive.co.uk but found that the names of Michael Jackson's children, Prince Michael and Prince Michael II, were not "wacko" enough for the top 10.
"Rock stars have always been known for their outrageous living," said the website's international new media vice-president, Mark Yovich.
"But no amount of sex drugs and debauchery can ever be as bad as naming your offspring a peculiar name that they have to live with for the rest of their life."
Asked once why he gave his children such unusual names, Zappa reputedly said simply: "Because I wanted to."
He also considered that "Zappa" might be more of a problem than their unconventional first names.
The top 10 is:
1 Moon Unit -- Frank Zappa
2 Apple -- Chris Martin (Coldplay)
3 Misty Kyd -- Sharleen Spiteri (Texas)
4 Geronimo -- Alex James (Blur)
5 Heavenly Hirani Tiger Lily -- Michael Hutchence/Paula Yates
6 Dandelion -- Keith Richards (Rolling Stones)
7 Dweezil -- Frank Zappa
8 Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q -- Bono (U2)
9 Zowie Bowie -- David Bowie
10 Rufus Tiger -- Roger Taylor (Queen)
