GOTHENBURG, Sweden, May 4 (UPI) -- Swedish police said they were searching for a man suspected of cutting the hair of at least three women aboard city buses in Gothenburg.
One of the women, My Ander, said the man cut her hair short on the back and sides of her head while she was riding on bus route 60, The Local reported Monday.

It's Sweden.  They're shocked that anyone except the government would perform a free service.

Travel news from Fox:  BANGOR, Maine — A British woman allegedly had an in-flight meal of prescription drugs, wine and liquid soap — before trying to bite the crew of a London-bound jetliner.  Galina Rusanova punched and kicked flight attendants on the Chicago-based United Airlines flight after downing two or three bottles of wine, prescription drugs and liquid soap from the jet's lavatory, prosecutors said.  As the scuffle escalated, Rusanova snapped "like a dog" while trying to bite an attendant, prosecutors said.

What is she griping about?  Prescription drugs, wine and liquid soap - on today's airlines that's a first-class meal.

ROME (AP) -- Facing a divorce threat, Premier Silvio Berlusconi was quoted Monday as saying he doesn't know if he wants to patch up his marriage and demanding a public apology from his wife.  The billionaire media magnate's wife, actress Veronica Lario, confirmed Sunday she is seeking a divorce from Berlusconi for his constant flirtations with younger women. They have been together since 1980, married in 1990 and have three children in their twenties, but have lived separate lives for many years.

Bill Clinton is rushing to Italy to conduct mediation.

This just in, from Andrew Malcolm at the L.A. Times's Top of the Ticket:  Vice President Joe Biden, who infamously advised Americans against entering confined transportation spaces during the current swine flu outbreak, will enter the Wilmington Amtrak train station in Delaware this morning.

Just thought you'd like to be there.  But avoid sneezing.
