N. J. man proposes through video game
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
A New Jersey computer programmer decided to get nerdy when he wanted to
propose to his girlfriend. Bemie Peng reprogrammed Tammy Lis favorite
video game, “Bejeweled." so a ring and a marriage proposal would pop up on
the screen when she reached a certain score. She reached it and said yes.
Peng said the reprogramming was a tricks- task and took him a month. The couple
plan to marry over Labor Day weekend, and Pop Cap, the Seattle company that
makes “Bejeweled." will fly the couple to Seattle as part of their honeymoon.
“Most video game companies would frown on people manipulating their games."
said company spokesman Garth Chouteau, “but it won him a woman. Asa bunch
of geeks, we have to say. ‘Bemie. hats off to you.’"
NOTED A would-be robber who demanded
money from a Des Moines cigarette outlet was
forced to flee after a cashier pelted him with
chewing tobacco.
The unknown robber flashed a knife and
forced one employee to the floor. Then a cashier
threw two cans of chewing tobacco at the man.
one of which bounced off his face. The robber
broke off and ran out the door.
