Bad Habits

And when we say bad habits, we mean bad habits. A melee broke out in a convent in Cyprus. The nuns and the priests were apparently acting more like the Sharks and the Jets. Two people were treated for stab wounds and two others were arrested.

Witnesses said priests and nuns were involved in the night-time fracas at the Metamorphosis tou Sotiros convent, some 35 km (22 miles) south east of the Cypriot capital Nicosia.

Disputes there have been simmering for months over control of its speculated vast wealth.

The people injured and those arrested were laymen, police said. "Two required stitches for head injuries inflicted by sharp implements and two were detained for obstructing police," a police source told Reuters.

A turf war in a convent? Gee, officer Krupke, where are you when we need you?

Gee, Officer Krupke, we're very upset;
We never had the love that ev'ry child oughta get.
We ain't no delinquents,
We're misunderstood.
Deep down inside us there is good!
