The PowerBars are flying at Kenny G's estate
Submitted by imaginary char on June 30, 2007.This may win the award for the strangest article I've read all week.
MALIBU, Calif. - Investigators are trying to determine who threw objects from a bluff-top compound owned by musician Kenny G that struck a 9-year-old girl on the head.
The incident happened June 23 when Brooke Porter was at the beach with her family and she was hit in the head, according to Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives. She needed four stitches to close her wound.
Sheriff's officials said they believe two teens on the musician's property — neither related to him — threw the objects that hit Brooke 50 feet below.
Although authorities would not say what was thrown, Kenny G's attorney said Hershey's Kisses and a PowerBar energy bar were thrown.
"I have been informed a PowerBar hit the girl accidentally on the head," said attorney Lee Blackman. "It was just an accident."
He said Kenny G's wife paid the girl's medical bill.
The girl's parents were upset about the incident and believe whoever threw the items targeted Brooke and her brother, Chase, a 12-year-old with Down's syndrome and autism.
If anyone else has an article that can out-strange this one, I'd like to hear it.

this is pretty weird too:
NEW YORK (AP) -- A peacock that roamed into the parking lot of a Burger King in New York City was beaten by a man who insisted it was a vampire.
Animal control officials in Staten Island say the bird was beaten so fiercely that most of its tail feathers fell out and it had to be euthanized.
The seven-year-old male peacock wandered into the restaurant parking lot and perched on a car hood last week. Charmed employees had been feeding it bread when the man appeared.
A restaurant worker says the man grabbed the bird by the neck, hurled it to the ground and started stomping it. She says when he was asked what he was doing, he responded, "'I'm killing a vampire!"'
Employees called police, but the man ran when he saw them.

I don't know if this beats the Kenny G story or not, but I found it awfully unusual -- a more than a little gross.
