1. In Egypt, a man attempted to smuggle 250 baby crocodiles in his luggage. Surprised Egyptian officials said: “Usually crocodiles ARE the luggage.”

2. The smuggler was from Saudi Arabia, and apparently in May, another Saudi tried to bring home 700 live snakes in his luggage. And we all thought “Snakes on a Plane” was unrealistic.

3. What is with Saudis trying to smuggle reptiles? Have they gotten tired of smuggling people? Why can’t they just stick a Filipino maid in their luggage like the rest of us?

4. President Bush and French President Sarkozy had an informal picnic lunch yesterday, but things turned a little ugly when Sarkozy annexed a bottle of French’s Mustard. “It says it’s ours right on the label!”

5. Protestors are gathering in front of Heathrow Airport in London to protest climate change. Apparently they think the temperature on airplanes is way too cold, and they want to raise it a bit.
