Pink Floyds Loses Big Flying Pig

Roger Waters, the famous man behind Pink Floyd, watched in horror as his two storey high inflatable pig with OBAMA written on its belly (Waters is backing Barack Obama) became unattached from its moorings during his gig at the Coachella Festival in Calafornia, United States of America.

Roger Waters, the Pink Floyd bass guitarist was heard shouting "Thats my pig" as it took off on its upward journey....who ever said pigs can't fly? Unhappy with seeing his huge pig fly off in to the sunset Waters offered a $5,000 reward and four lifetime tickets to the Coachella Festival.

Luckily the pig was found in a luxurious country club in La Quinta. The pig was found in two halfs by two seperate families who will each have a reward of $2,500 and lifetime tickets to the festival.

Roger Waters is really happy to be getting his huge inflatable pig back and the pig is said to be doing fine!

Wanted: Women to Test Chocolate

Its a well known fact that the ladies of the human species love to nibble on a piece of chocolate so I imagine that women would love to test chocolate so this would be the perfect job for many a woman out there in the world.

One hundred and fifty women are required by the University of East Anglia based in Norwich, United Kingdom. Unfortunately this is not a test about the release of endorphins but more about a test on whether chocolate can help the female species with type 2 diabetes and possible reduce the chances of women getting heart disease when in their senior years.

The science behind this test is due to Flavonoids, a plant compound found in the cocoa used to make chocolate as it is believed to help reduce heart disease. The University in question has recruited a top chocolatier from Belgium who is making chocolate that is three times higher in Flavonoids than the average chocolate bar.

The lucky 150 women who are taken on for this research will have to eat one chocolate bar a day for a year and need to have past their menopausal stage, have type 2 diabetes and be in the process of taking statins to reduce their cholesterol.

Porn Lands Woman in Jail

A woman from America has been arrested and jailed after getting confused during a porn film and attacking her boyfriend!

Amanda Moya, a twenty year old woman from Albuquerque, was enjoying the foreplay of a little porn before jumping on the good foot and doing the bad thing with her boyfriend until a particular scene popped up on the screen.

Amanda saw what she thought was more than she bargained for when a porn actor, who looked very similar to her boyfriend, entered an intrigueing position on the film. Amanda saw red and grabbed a knife before starting to attack her boyfriend.

The boyfriend had the knife at his throat before managing to escape the property in nothing more than a skimpy pair of shorts, at this point he was being chased down the road while on the phone to the police. Amanda had already managed to knife him in the face and bite his chest (not out of lust I may add).

Amanda Moya has been arrested and interesting not only charged with assault and aggravated battery but also with child abuse as when she was chasing her boyfriend, the victim, down the road she had also left her eight month child alone at home.

It is important to note at this point that the porn star in question was not her boyfriend although I imagine for all his troubles he probably wished it was him.

Romanian Electrician Stakes Claim for State Position

The title may not seem like much of a story but there is an interesting twist to this little piece of Romanian news.

Cornel Cernoschi, a Romanian electrician who found himself out of work decided to take a history course to prove his intelligence. After studying long and hard our Romanian electrician stumbled across some interesting ancestry about his family.

Cornel searched long and hard to find that he is related to a fifteenth century ruler of the Romanian province of Moldavia, this ancestors name, believe it or not, is Stephan the Great.

Since finding this information out our Romanian electrician has decided to stake a claim with the government to lands stolen from his ancestors many years ago. Cornel has even gone as far as taking the government to court demanding that he gets titles, land, a house, recognition as the heir to the region and other privileges that anyone of this position would have.

Cornel even stood in court and announced "I want to be granted a high state position to represent Moldova, as well as some kind of symbol of my status and worth - a manor house should do."

The court case is still ongoing and it will be interesting to see if our Romanian electrician ends up with what he feels he is entitled to...I feel it may be time to start researching my family ancestry!

Dog Becomes Mother to Nine Kittens

The setting is in rural Des Moines county Iowa, thats in the United States of America for those unsure, and the story is about a dog who has become a mother for the second time in six weeks and this second time is to kittens...impossible I hear you cry...well read on and find out how!

Lily, a black labrador, was resuced from a farm after being deserted by her owner and taken to an animal shelter. During her first two weeks at the shelter Lily gave birth to six little puppys and took to motherhood like a duck to water.

After her own puppys grew old enough Lily's puppys all went to good homes but then a problem came up at the animal shelter in which Lily was able to help.

Three litters of kittens were born and none of the mothers survived, this meant that nine kittens were without a parent and the shelters workers were working round the clock to bottle feed these new born felines.

One of the workers who knew of lilys good nature thought to try Lily with two of the kittens to see how she fared...guess what...she took to motherhood of the kittens as if they were her own. Lily keeps a watchful eye on the little kittens and if one was to stray out of the bed she will go and pick the kitten up and bring it back, hell she even licks them clean like they are her own children.

Due to this success Lily the labrador is now the mother of nine kittens, all of which are three to four weeks in age.

The best part of this story is that due to Lilys good work she has now found a home with a loving family, although she wont be able to leave the shelter until her kitten babies are old enough to leave for their new homes in about two to three weeks.

Adolf Hitler Dolls For Sale

Adolf Hitler dolls could be hitting the shelves of toy stores near you!

Yes it's true, a Ukranian toy manufacturer is to start manufacturing dolls of the Second World War German dictator. The Hitler doll in question will be sixteen inches in height (thats a little over 35 centimetres) and will come with two clothing styles

• Early Adolf clad in Jodhpurs and a brown shirt


• Wartime Adolf clad in black trousers, a double breasted grey tunic and the coveted Iron cross

To take things a little further the Adolf Hitler doll will also come with Hitlers favourite companian, his alsation Blondi.

It will be interesting to see how well these dolls sell in the Ukraine and if they manage to become a childs commodity elsewhere!

The decision to make these Hitler dolls by a Ukranian toy company is quite unique as any positive depictions of the Nazi regime and images associated to the regime are illegal in this former Soviet country.

The company behind the Hitler doll are looking to have the dolls on the shelves of Kiev by the summer and to expand thereafter.

A Flying Priest Gets Lost

Rev Adelir Antonio de Carli from the Sao Cristovao parish in Brazil has gone missing after flying off in a chair tied to loads of party balloons filled with helium!

The daredevil priest took off from Paranagua, a city in Parana, Brazil on a journey to the city of Dourados which is located not far from his parish. The idea behind this huge adventure was for the priest to fly for over nineteen hours using the power of his party balloon chair to break the world record for the longest time someone has been in the air using helium filled party balloons and to also raise money a spiritual rest stop.

Unfortunately eight hours into his flight the forty one year old priest was hit by winds that decided his journey was not to Dourados and sent him in the wrong direction. The last the priest was heard from was when he radioed in to port as he was thirty miles off the coast line over the sea.

A big search is underway using helicopters and boats to find the elusive priest but it is believed he will be found alive and well as the Rev Adelir Antonio de Carli is fitted with a thermal suit and parachute along with the chair being bouyant so will float at sea. Oh not forgetting that this priest is a skydiving veteran!

Bulgarian Pop Idol - Valentina Hasan

Okay so you may not even realise that Bulgaria has a pop idol contest on its television, but it is now in its second season.

During the first stage of the Bulgarian pop idol auditions a few weeks ago a twenty nine year old woman from a tiny village called Zvezdelina in the khardzali province made history by becoming the first world famous Bulgarian pop idol export....but for all the wrong reasons.

The lady in question is called Valentina Hasan and although she is Bulgarian by birth she is Turkish by decent, research also shows that Hasan is her married name and that she currently resides in Spain.

What has bought Valentina Hasan to the world stage is her unique take on Mariah Carey's song "Without you". What makes it unique is that Valentina believes she is speaking in English and even tells the decision panel when they try to correct her that they are wrong.

Valentina's version of "Without you" is called "Ken Leee" (Can't live for those that do not speak Valentina's English).

Currently This Bulgarian pop idol export is being sent round all the social networking sites and has millions of views on Youtube, so why not see for yourself what all the fuss is about and comment below!

Credit where credit is due Valetina, it is a stirling effort and well done for having the guts to perform a song in a language you do not know!!!

Drunk Russian Knifed In Back

After a huge night on the alcohol in Vologda, a county in Russia, a fifty three year old Russian man stumbled home without a care in the world until he saw his wife the next morning. At this point you might imagine an arguement ensuing about his alcoholism but this was far from the truth as his wife found a knife handle sticking out of his back.

Yuri Lylin, the Russian with the knife in his back, said he had not realised the knife was there and did not feel any pain throughout the evening although he did shed light on how it probably happened!

After drinking copious amounts of Vodka Yuri and his friends made their own version of Russian roullette up, this involved one of the drinking crew to be blindfolded and given a ten inch knife which they started making stabbing motions with while all the other friends danced around them.

Yuri left the party with fond drunken memories of the silly games his friends and he had played, got home and went to sleep. It was only a peircing scream from his wife that woke him up in the morning that made him realise that the ten inch blade was sticking out of his back.

Yuri's wife rang an ambulance and he went to hospital where the knife was successfully removed, Yuri was then sent home. After all thats happened Yuri has no anger towards his friends and says its all a drunken accident, although I imagine his wife will have a few words to say when he goes out with this set of friends again!

Dancing Naked Parrot

Youtube strikes again! Only a few days ago I wrote a story about a Dutch schoolboy who got in to a spot of bother by putting a video of him showing his tackle while on a school trip to the Taj Mahal...this time Youtube has made a celebrity out of a naked Parrot!

Oscar is a parrot that suffers with a disease that meant she cannot grow any feathers on her body, this means she is naked and looks like a fresh chicken. Oscar was taken in by the Broward County Humane Society and given 6 months to live, this was 12 years ago and she is still growing strong.

What is surprising is that it isn't the fact Oscar has no feathers that is making people flock to visit her on youtube....oh no...its her dancing. People are just in love with her dancing antics, especially when she starts immitating Mick Jagger, talk about animals having personality!

See Oscar in action...this naked Parrot is amazing.

Women Saved By German Man Falling On Her

Not the way you would normally fall for a woman granted but for a twenty seven year old German man it was the way he saved an unconscious women's life.

Twenty seven year old Jens Wilhelms was walking along when he had the misfortune to fall down a twenty five foot lift shaft. What broke his fall at the bottom and saved him from injury was a big surprise to him, it was actually an unconscious fifty seven year old woman who had fallen down the shaft the day before.

Some would say its unlucky that the lady fell down the shaft and even more unlucky that she then had the misfortune of a man using her as a crash barrier when he fell down the shaft. The truth is that the fifty seven year old lady in question was actually saved by Jens as she had been unconscious for over 24 hours and was serious injured.

The emergency services who rescued both from the lift shaft said that it was a bizarre event as Jens falling on the woman actually damaged her more severely but saved her life at the same time.

Man Trades His Wife For a Goat!

Stoil Panayotov, a Bulgarian farmer, stunned a large crowd at a cattle market in Bulgarias second largest city Plovdiv by exchanging his third wife Elena for an eight year old goat!

Yes, yes, the Bulgarian farmer was not happy that his third wife could not supply him with an heir to his farming estate and decided to take emergency action. Mr. Panayotov took his wife to the cattle market with one thing on his mind, this was to trade her in for a younger model...albeit of the four legged variety.

The deal all started when one of Mr. Panayotov's friends said he didnt have any luck with women and had taken a fancy to the Bulgarians wife. Mr. Panayotov spoke to his wife who gave her approval to be swapped for the eight year old goat.

To rubs salt in to Mr. Panayotov's now ex-wife Elena's wounds, the goat that she was swapped for has now given the Bulgarian farmer three kids....sp he now has three heirs...although they are obviously not his own children!

Flashing The Taj Mahal

An International incident it became, also an incident that had many people laughing!

A young Dutch man who is studying caused outrage and an international incident when he took it upon himself to video his penis then pan around to the revered Taj Mahal. The Dutch student at the centre of the incident was even heard giggling as his trouser snake was seen in plain view by the camera with the Taj Mahal as a back drop.

The student was found out by uploading the clip of his escapades on the well known video sharing site You Tube (I believe they have removed this now)

The Euro College of Rotterdam where the student is studying has formerly apologised to the Indian Ambassador to Holland and suspended the student immediately as it happened on a school trip he was on.

The school has even been reported to possibly taking legal action against the student who they believe has seriously tarnished their reputation as an upstanding school that sits as a pillar of the community.

Fireman Turns Arsonist For Overtime!

Powel Leszek, a young Polish man at the tender age of eighteen faces up to ten years in jail just because he wanted to work overtime so he could buy his girlfriend a nice present!

Powel was earning the equivalent of two pounds (four dollars) an hour as a voluntary fireman in his home town. With his girlfriends birthday coming up the young Powel decided to put in as much overtime as possible in his job as a voluntary fireman, the only problem with this decision is that if there are no fires, there is no overtime.

To have work for his overtime to be agreed Powel went on an arson spree where he set fire to three seperate barns over the space of a week, at first everything was going well for the young Powel until a local resident saw him setting fire to another barn.

From just trying to earn a little extra to buy his girlfriend a nice birthday present Powel Leszek has been charged with endangering public safety and arson which carries a possible prison sentence of up to ten years!

The Wheelchair Getaway

The place - California
The bank - Wachovia Bank, Stanford Shopping Centre in Palo Alto
The perp - An old man aged sixty five to seventy years old in a wheelchair!

An old aged pensioner of around sixty five to seventy years of age with white hair and a beard innocently wheeled in to the Wachovia Bank at the Stanford Shopping Centre before pulling out a gun and getting the cashier to fist handfuls of cash in to a bag. Once the perp had got his cash he made a speedy getaway in his electric wheelchair.

Given he is in an electric wheelchair you would imagine that the police would be able to catch this aging armed robber but you would be wrong. The old robber managed to evade capture from the police and made his getaway without any problems.

The police are currently searching for this old man and have released a sketch, the problem is that they could not capture a good image of him on CCTV because of the hood of his sweatshirt that was covering his face.

It seems that no matter how old a person gets they can decide the criminal path is the one for them, who would ever have thought that a wheelchair bound pensioner could rob a bank and make a speedy getaway evading the police!

Child Assualted By A Hedgehog

Okay this is a serious story, albeit one that I am trying to keep a straight face while writing! Right....a fifteen year old boy has been attacked in New Zealand by a man weilding a hedgehog.

The fifteen year old boy who resides in the northern town of Whakatane in New Zealand was minding his own business when a 27 year old man by the name of William Singalargh decided to pick up a harmless hedgehog that was ambling along and throw it at the boy.

The fifteen year old boy suffered puncture marks and a red welt of a large size...William Singalargh who attacked him has been charged with assault with a weapon (never knew a hedgehog could be classed as a weapon).

If found guilty William Singalargh faces up to five years in prison and this is without the possible charges of animal cruelty that could also be bought against him.

Unfortunately I do not have evidence to say whether the hedgehog was physically or mentally scarred by the episode!

An Armed Robber Is Given A Cuppa

A man in Czechoslovakia donned a Spiderman mask and walked in to a supermarket brandishing a gun to rob the cashier of the money in her till but got more than he bargained for from the cashier, fifty nine year old Marketa Vachova.

Even though the would be robber was hidden behind a Spiderman mask and brandishing a gun at her she thought he was a nice young man and started to ask him what had caused him to want to rob the shop. As the shop was quiet and they were the only people present they got talking and Marketa, the cashier even invited him back for a cup of tea and a slice of cake!

The man in question actually apologised for what he was doing in the end, agreed to come back for the cake and cup of tea before walking out of the supermarket without the cash.

Unfortunately for our masked man the Czechoslovakian police are currently looking for him and say that he could potentially end up with a ten year prison sentence.

My hat goes off to Marketa Vachova who really did face something most people would not be able to handle and manage to diffuse the whole situation through the power of conversation.

Chinese Wounded Angel - Panic

A Chinese artist used his imagination and created an artistic piece called "Wounded Angels". What the artist didn't know was that his piece of art would cause widespread panic in the city of Shanghai that resulted in an elderly lady being rushed to hospital due to a heart attack brought on by the shock of the piece.

So what had everyone in a panic?

The Chinese artist in question had hung four mannequins with wings on their backs outside of skyscrapers. The problem was that early morning commuters mistook them for real people and thought they were ready to jump to their deaths.

The police received many calls about these "People" and rushed to the scene with firefighters to find they were just mannequins.

It seems that the artist in question did manage to engage an audience and really get people talking but it will be interesting to find out what will happen now after the widespread panic he caused.

A Camels Beauty Pageant

I thought I had heard it all, that was until I heard about the special beauty pageant being run in Abu Dhabi. Yes Abu Dhabi, a jewel in the UAE, has started a beauty pageant for CAMELS...yes camels.

You would think this is a small affair, a few camels and a few strange men ranking their beauty for a plastic trophy to be one but this could not be further from the truth.

Over ten thousand camels coming from as far as Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman are going to compete to become the most beautiful camel there ever was and the lucky owner can win up to four million British pounds, thats EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS. For those not lucky enough to win this large prize there are smaller prizes of cars and other expensive items.

The reason why so much money is at stake is because this wonderous event is sponsored by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, the ruler of Abu Dhabi.
