“the pizza-filled captors” line says it pretty well. But why no beer? You’d think these guys would want beer too.

OK… When I click the link I get Yahoo! News, with a lot of stories, but I see nothing about pizza or captors. Which story are you referring to?

No pizza/prison stories anywhere but if you click on the AP story link there’s a good one about a chicken getting a ticket for jaywalking.

They must be moving it around on you, **Hypno-Toad**. I went to “International” news (nothing there), then to “Australia/Antarctica” (I know, what a combo), and then found the story here: [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050509/ap\_on\_re\_au\_an/australia\_prison\_pizza/nc:733](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050509/ap_on_re_au_an/australia_prison_pizza/nc:733)
