A Polish man living in Germany was shot in the head five years ago and only recently found out.
He remembered being hit on the head during a New Year's Eve party but was too drunk to care. He recently went to the doctor's with a lump on his head. Surgeons dug out the bullet.
German beer works wonders for pain relief...

Man Guilty of Indecent Exposure in his own Home
At first glance, it seems strange that you can be found guilty when you are in your own home, but the fact is a child saw him naked.
He wasn't found guilty of obscenity, just indecent exposure. And not drawing the blinds...
Judge Finds In-Home Nudity Intentional, Indecent | NBC Washington:
"If you live in Virginia and don't own a bathrobe, it might be a good time to get one.
A judge convicted a Virginia man of indecent exposure Friday after he was seen through a window strutting around naked inside his house."

Texas police arrest intruder suspect in bath

Well, at least he came clean.

Irish School asks pupils to bring own toilet roll..
A school in Ireland beset with budget woes, has made a request to parents to send in a toilet roll with their children, so as to reduce the paper budget (or is that stationery budget?).
When I was at school a lot of the homework we produced could have been used as toilet paper - it wasn't much use for anything else!
I hope they've put their names on the rolls...

Thief breaks into toilet (he didn't have change)
Has anyone considered the fact that he wasn't actually trying to rob the safe but, in fact, desperate to use the bathroom? So many people who wear black clothing, carry drills, explosives and other tools that can be mistaken for burglary paraphernalia (and a bag that says "swag" of course) are arrested when all they want to do is tinkle.
It would be an interesting defence in court!
Lost thief holes up in bank lavatory - Yahoo! News:"A hapless thief drilled his way into a French bank at the weekend, but missed the safe and instead found himself in a lavatory where he was promptly arrested, a French newspaper reported Sunday."
