8/15

1. One of India’s biggest movie stars was interrogated by U.S. immigration officials for over an hour. Actually, they would have let him go sooner, but whenever they asked him a question, he kept bursting into song. And then they had to process all the dancers emerging from closets and under furniture. The problem was only solved when they found a female immigration official who sang questions to him, but then the two were mysteriously teleported to snowy mountains, where they continued the interrogation while chasing each other through the woods.

2. In Britain, people are competing to see who has the best memory in the world. Contests include memorizing playing cards, decimal numbers, random words, and many more tasks that can be easily done by even the most outdated computer.

3. In the upcoming Afghanistan election, President Karzai’s main rival is Abdullah Abdullah, who is supported by 26% of voters. However, later surveys revealed that half of those voters think Abdullah Abdullah is a 1980s pop band.

4. A ship from Finland carrying $1.8 million of timber has gone missing. At first, experts thought the timber ship was kidnapped by pirates, but now they think it might be termites.

5. At Michael Vick’s first practice with the Philadelphia Eagles, reporters surrounded him like a pack of… cats.
