Full Story: "JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police are on the lookout for a thief with a super-sized chocolate craving.
The robbers broke into a factory in the northern Israeli city of Haifa late Monday and walked away with nearly 100 tons of chocolate spread.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said such a large heist indicated it may have been an inside job and police were searching the area of any traces of the sweet stuff.
Moshe Veidberg, one of the company's owners, told the Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot it would require five large trucks to transport the stolen chocolate, which he valued at roughly $415,000.
He said the company's alarm system was deactivated and its surveillance footage stolen as well, leaving the fate of the creamy chocolate a mystery."

Man grows Roots on Hands and Feet

An Indonesian fisherman who feared that he would be killed by tree-like growths covering his body has been given hope of recovery by an American doctor - and Vitamin A
Dede, now 35, baffled medical experts when warty 'roots' began growing out of his arms and feet after he cut his knee in a teenage accident.
The welts spread across his body unchecked and soon he was left unable to carry out everyday household tasks.
Sacked from his job and deserted by his wife, Dede has been raising his two children - now in their late teens - in poverty, resigned to the fact that local doctors had no cure for his condition.
To make ends meet he even joined a local 'freak show', parading in front of a paying audience alongside victims of other peculiar diseases.
Although supported by his extended family, he was often a target of abuse and ridicule in his rural fishing village.
But now an American dermatology expert who flew out to Dede's home village south of the capital Jakarta claims to have identified his condition, and proposed a treatment that could transform his life."

Nothing like Fresh Carp from the Sewers
Full Story: "In the Northwest's Klamath Basin, wild chinook salmon churn through picturesque rivers.
In the Rocky Mountains, world-class trout swim in cool streams.
In Des Moines, live carp slog through sewage pipes before meeting a screen - and their demise - at the treatment plant in the southeast part of the city.
It happens every few years when waters are high and rain sneaks into pipes carrying sewage, said Bill Stowe, city public works director.
Des Moines hired a contractor to run video cameras through a major sewage line from Fleur Drive to the spot where Walnut Creek feeds the Raccoon River. Crews are looking for holes in the pipes, though Stowe is guessing the fish get in where a manhole cover has popped off unnoticed.
The carp can live through the dank run of several miles because the sewage is heavily diluted and ammonia levels are fairly low, Stowe said. Carp also have a high tolerance for pollution"
