Flyin Padre meets Jesus and Chess Boxing

Hello. Welcome to the place where brains and brawn combine. This is Barely News. I'm Kurt LaBelle. Here to work that grey matter into one strong muscle. Let's get started with more dopey deeds from dubious dupes.

Helium balloons aren't only used for party decorations these days. Brazilian priest Adelir Antonio de Capri set off to break a world record of staying in flight for more than 19 hours being propelled only by hundreds of the colored balloons in mid-April. When he set off on his journey and was blown off course across the ocean, he was unable to notify his buddies on-shore of his position as he couldn't figure out his GPS device More than two months later , the priest's body was spotted by his blue and white jumpsuit 450 miles off course in the ocean. He found his way to god. Via con dios padre.

Police say a suspect threw about 100-thousand dollars in cash from his window during a chase. Drug enforcement agents were working with San Antonio police on a drug sting when they say the suspected drug dealer took off, leading them on the chase. Police say most of the cash tossed from the suspect's car ended up in a drain. But some rush hour drivers -- including a school bus -- did stop to pick up the loose cash.

Brawn and brains combine in a new hybrid sport that is equal parts aggression and strategy. Its calleed Chess Boxing. Five rounds of boxing are interspersed between 6 rounds of chess. Mathematics student Nikolai Sazhin, 19, competing under the name "The President'' knocked out a 37-year-old German policeman Frank Stoldt, who served as a peacekeeper in Kosovo until recently. The loser said he was simply too punch-drunk to fend off checkmate.
