Suspect in armed robbery

A goat is being held for suspicion of armed robbery.

Pot Oranges - using PCR to stick it to the man

Forget pot brownies, keep your eyes out for "special" oranges. Biochemist Hugo Nanofsky, after having been burned by current drug laws in Florida when his son was arrested and charged for possession of drug paraphernalia decided to pit his skills against the ineffective system. He succeeded in genetically engineering THC-producing oranges, and then proceeded to offer the seeds for free to the general public.

Cross species cetacean aid

Normally I'd avoid a dolphin story due to the charismatic megafauna conspiracy. However a New Zealand dolphin seems to have lead two pygmy sperm whales off a beach and out to sea, just as conservation workers were going to give up on them.

Henry the Hexapus

Yes, hexapus . He is a six-legged octopus likely from a birth defect.


"Until Henry, the most famous six-legged octopus was one that appeared in a 1955 B-movie, 'It Came From Beneath The Sea.'

As was common of many science fiction movies of the era, the film was made on a shoestring budget -- and designers left off two legs from the creature because of budget contraints."

Beach theft in Hungary

I know what you're thinking - how does a landlocked country like Hungary even have a beach? Well, the answer is, they don't... anymore. Someone stole it.

The country formed its own beach on the side of a river, but it has now been stolen - beach huts, playgrounds, sand and all. Read the press release HERE.

This, of course, makes you wonder a few things:
1) How do you go about stealing six thousand tonnes of sand (plus buildings and playgrounds)? Multiple trips? Get your friends to help? Sneak the sand out little by little in your shoes?
2) How do you do it without anyone noticing?
3) How do you come up with such an idea, anyway?
4) How can I get what they were drinking?

Donut/Cop High Speed Chase

After shoplifting eight giant red hot pickled sausages, Warren G. Whitelightning stole a Krispy Kreme truck, and did two laps around the parking before leading the cops on a high speed chase through Madison.

Assistant District Attorney Michael Verveer conceded that the scene described in the criminal complaint of several squad cars chasing a donut truck around the west side could elicit laughter from many.

"Because what you have is two different police agencies chasing the defendant in a stolen Krispy Kreme donut truck with donuts flying out of the back of the truck," he said.

I'm not sure what's funnier about this article:
