I too am a student of the weird, wacky, and wonderful. Fortean Times Magazine, published monthly, documents many strange events all over the world. Not all bizarre stories are as unfortunate as the one about the "bulletproof man". Here is one from the March issue. "Teresa Burch was walking down a street in Melbourne on 16 September when she was forced into a man's car and driven off. Back at his flat, he made her wash and iron a huge pile of clothes and wash his dirty dishes. Then he drove her back into Melbourne and set her free." Sunday Mercury, 24 Sept, 2000.
