5/13

1. In Australia, a driver has been fined for using a seatbelt to strap down a case of beer, while his five-year-old child played in the back. Now, this being Australia, the reason for the fine was that the beer was not in a beer seat.

2. In Barcelona, the water reservoir has dropped so low that it revealed an ancient city. Sort of like when I finally mowed the backyard as a teenager and found my five-year-old brother. Or at least, he was five when we last saw him.

3. In Italy, a man was arrested for using a camera in a duffel bag to photograph thousands of women up their skirts. The police are planning to officially charge him, but first they have to review the evidence for a few… months, and bring in lots of other officers to assist with the review.

4. Barack Obama tried to congratulate Hillary Clinton on winning the Democratic primary in West Virginia, but was only able to get her voicemail. Maybe she was too busy taking a call from the voices in her head. “You can wiiiin, you can wiiiiin.”

5. The army in Lebanon says that it is “ready to use force”. Doesn’t that make it… an army? If an army weren’t ready to use force, it would just be a bunch of guys.
