WIRELESS FLASH BRIEFS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

SEATTLE (Wireless Flash) -- Here's the straight poop on the latest issue of the "Farmer's Almanac": the newsprint is designed to work as toilet paper. That's according to editor Judson Hale who says the pages of the almanac -- which has been in publication for 208 years -- were once the preferred form of toilet paper for use in outhouses. In fact, he claims the paper is even smoother now than in years past. -- LOS ANGELES -- Here's proof drugs can destroy your mind: An upcoming episode of "COPS" will feature a woman who flags down a police officer and then demands that he arrest a drug pusher who sold her two pieces of plaster in the guise of crack cocaine. -- LOS ANGELES -- Ex-Poison member Rikki Rockett is planning a tribute album of glitter rock songs from the '70s -- but has no idea what to record. Rockett is asking fans to log onto http://www.knac.com and vote for the songs they want to hear. The proposed CD may feature guest appearances from ex-members of Mott The Hoople, T-Rex and New York Dolls and, possibly, David Bowie.
