Local Man Addicted to Food
GILBERT AZ -- It's not just that Gilbert resident Kevin Walsh wants to eat,
but that he must eat - and
regularly, or he will die. Indeed, so addicted to food is Walsh that he
must eat up to three times each and every
day. "You can't imagine the inconvenience, having
to drop what you're doing three times a day just to eat. It's heartbreaking
at times."
Scientists disagree on just how long it is possible for Walsh to
abstain from eating; some say two weeks, others insist that he can survive
for up to thirty days without consuming food. "Nobody really knows, and Kevin
won't cooperate in our studies. It's very frustrating," says Paul Felton,
Professor of Biology at the Phoenix College of Industrial Arts. Felton is
considering legal action to force Walsh's cooperation. Says Felton, "It's a unique
opportunity for study. I think he owes it to humanity to help uncover the
truth."
Tree Falls in Forest, Makes No Noise
GILBERT AZ -- An age-old question was finally answered yesterday
when a sixty year-old coniferous fir tree toppled in the Tonto
National Forest and produced no noise. "Well, we finally know," said

a mile from the spot where the tree fell and I didn't hear a thing."

example of an out-of-touch Pope dictating archaic dental practices
to a modern industrial nation" complained Sister Theresa Adams
of the Chicago Archdiocese.
