Glen Woodcock, 31, drove his Ford Bronco onto an Army bombing range, then got
 stuck just as soldiers prepared to open fire. Military police at Fort Bragg,
 North Carolina, arrested the still-unsuspecting Woodcock after he walked
 across the range, which is littered with thousands of pounds of unexploded
 ammunition and pockmarked with bomb craters, and asked some soldiers to help
 him move his truck. "Why or how he did not step on something and blow himself
 totally up is a miracle," garrison commander Colonel Woodrow Wilson said.
 Since retrieving the vehicle would be too dangerous, it was left as a target.

 Three janitors at an elementary school in Ceres, California, tried to freeze a
 gopher to death by spraying it with a solvent that freezes gum and wax so it
 can be peeled or chipped away. Jeff Davis, 35, said he and his colleagues had
 sprayed several cans of the gum remover on the gopher inside a small, poorly
 ventilated utility room with the doors closed when one of them tried to light
 a cigarette. Sparks from the lighter ignited the solvent, causing an explosion
 that blew the janitors out of the utility room, sending them and 16 pupils to
 the hospital. The gopher survived and was later released in a field. Ceres
 Unified School District Superintendent Bruce Newlin commented that the men
 "used extraordinarily poor judgment."

 Six people drowned while trying to rescue a chicken that fell down a 60-foot
 well in the Egyptian village of Nazlat Imara. Police said an 18-year-old
 farmer, his sister, two brothers and two elderly farmers that came to help
 climbed down one by one but all drowned, apparently after being pulled down in
 the water by an undercurrent.

 After surgeon Rolando Sanchez amputated the wrong leg of a patient at
 University Community Hospital in Tampa, Florida, the hospital started a new
 policy of writing the word "No" on patients' limbs that are not supposed to be
 removed.
