1. In Ireland, a man stole 36,000 pints of Guinness beer. But although that’s a lot of Guinness, it was apparently not the world record. Police later caught the man visiting the world’s largest urinal.
2. In Houston, four police officers are suing because they were demoted for having beards. The officers claim to have a skin condition that makes them unable to shave. Yeah, I have that problem too -- it’s called not hitting puberty yet.
3. In Sudan, a teacher has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for allowing her students to name a teddy bear Muhammed. When an enemy like Sudan does this, the White House officially calls it an “outrage”. However, when Saudi Arabia, a friend, sentenced a gang-rape victim to 200 lashes and six months in prison, the White House called it “astounding”. For most people, “astounding” comes before “outrage”, but not for the Bush Administration.
4. Scientists have discovered a species of antelope in Africa in which the females pursue the males with aggression, while the males are more choosy with their mates. Fox Television has already negotiated with the antelopes to produce a reality show on their lives.
5. A riot broke out in Tibet when two monks were arrested for robbing a motorcycle shop. Fellow monks and their supporters then went on a rampage. Eventually, the monks went home, because this was the most work they’d done in years.
