A dog named Booger, Part 2

   
Can it really get any weirder than the woman who sells her house to finance the cloning of her deceased canine, and then names one of the five new pups after herself? Yes, oh yes... it can get a whole lot weirder than that. Bernann McKinney, the obviously insane woman who made worldwide headlines two weeks ago is back in the spotlight—but the news isn't all cute floppy ears and cuddly puppy happiness. 

When it was suggested that she was the infamous Joyce McKinney, who fled the UK in 1977 after being accused of the abduction and rape of a fellow student, she originally denied the connection. But after being literally hounded (how appropriate) by media that she herself engaged, admitted that she is indeed Joyce Bernann McKinney... former Miss Wyoming, BYU drama student, nudie-mag model, stalker, fugitive and global troublemaker. In her defense, she snapped "I thought people would be honest enough to see me as a person who was trying to do something good..." Uh, yeah, because nothing says 'I've repented' like cloning your dog.
