                UK man acccused of stealing 1.5 million
                Mars bars

                5 November 1998
                Web posted at: 17:22 CET, Paris time (16:22 GMT)

                LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Supervisor Martin Keys seems
                to have had a particularly sweet tooth -- he is on trial for
                stealing 1.5 million chocolate Mars bars worth 500,000 pounds
                ($829,000). Newspapers on Thursday said Keys, accused of
                plotting to steal eight truck loads of the bars, made so much
                money he paid 21,000 pounds in cash for a new car and put
                down a 52,000 pound cash deposit on a house.

                "This story concerns chocolate. The theft of chocolate. A lot
                of chocolate -- a mountain of chocolate," prosecutor Simon
                Brand told the court in Gloucester, southwest England.

                "This is not a case where someone simply slipped a Mars bar
                into their pocket that didn't belong to them," he said.

                The finger of suspicion fell on Keys when a truck arrived at
                the warehouse and found most of the bars that should have
                been on the shelves had vanished. Keys, 31, denies the charges.

        favorite entry from Donnelle, Age 5:

                A mouse.

           drain. Remember, EVERY CALL is $.99 from 1 minute up to 20, or
           do the math and at the best you're paying $.05 per minute.
           \_ That's a good point.  So if you're sure the person's at the
              other end is it worth using?  I'm in dorms where I have to
              use a university phone plan, and 5 cents is much better than

        \_Panasonic (I think) just came out with a 2.4GHz cordless phone,

                        the UCB campus.  The commission was
                        mostly made up of faculty, so this is a

                i do happen to know where that is from. in context, it more

                        \-well since i assume the person inquiring came across
                        this term embedded in a sentence, the context is more
                        relevant than the literal translation. "pride" and
                        "i am raised up" mean very different things. your
                        translations sound more like Euripedes' famous phrase
