THAT'S A BIT STEEP, ISN'T IT? In Finland, there are no set fines for traffic violations. They are linked to a
driver's income. As a result, 27-year-old dot-com millionaire Jaakko Rytsola was grabbed for doing 40 in a 25 and
fined $71,400.
LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON: Patrick Hayes had a passionate encounter one afternoon in an apartment in
Pittsburgh with Jewel Vermillion, an enchanting dame he had met not long before. And he didn't stick around long
afterward either. The tryst, which took place 59 years ago, produced a son named Jack Hayes, at least according to
the very same Jack Hayes, who is currently trying to get an inheritance from Patrick, his alleged father, who died in
1998 at age 84 without leaving a will. To prove Patrick is his daddy, Jack had him exhumed for DNA tests after a
21-month court battle. Results are pending.
CAR, CAR, CAR, CAMEL, CAR: Motorists on the southbound highway to Ludwigshafen, Germany, told police
they thought they saw a camel running along the road. They were right. The beast had escaped from a nearby
circus. Police herded him into a courtyard where they captured him.
