Weird

This one is from the too weird to be true file. <br />n<br />n<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=518&u=/ap/20050221/ap_on_re_eu/stolen_swimming_pool&printer=1" target="_new">Thieves Steal Built-In Swimming Pool</a><br />n<br />nA Norwegian family returned to their mountain cabin for the first time since November and found their swimming pool installed 20 years ago was gone.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>"It must have been a terrible job to disassemble such a big pool. There is a steel lining all the way around, plus there is a plastic liner and then there was a skimming system, a filter system and a lot of big hoses, and pipes," said Brit Nicolaysen, who owns the cabin with her husband. <br />n<br />n"They must have had a whole lot of time," she said. <br />n<br />nBrit said no one, not even the police, believed them at first. <br />n<br />nPolice said they had never heard anything like it. They suspected the pool was taken for someone's private use, since there's not a market for 20-year stolen, in-ground pools.</blockquote><br />n<br />nI kind of doubt there is a market for used 20 year old built in pools. It makes you wonder who did it and why. Aliens or was it a prank?<br />n<br />n<b>Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of "the rat race" is not yet final.<br />n<br />nIn Memory of:<br />nHunter S. Thompson </b>
