Rotten fridge cleanup sends 7 to hospital
People always joke about the things in fridges - particularly office fridges and students' fridges. This was one occasion when all those jokes became true! The fumes from the items in the fridge were so noxious that they had to call 911, and a hazmat team were sent in!

German MP wants DNA testing on dog poo
There are other uses for this of course - postmen can sue if they get bitten and retain some DNA evidence, paternity tests could be run when someone's bitch gets knocked up and if the dog eats your homework...
Peter Stein, a conservative politician in eastern Germany, told AFP that under his proposal, officials would test the excrement and then match it up to the offending dog using a DNA database of all pooches.

The dog finally relented after it was convinced the boy was committed to the relationship. Plus it got two rings and a chain. There must be better jokes than "His wife's a bitch"...but I can't think of any.
"A group of Indian tribals have married off a toddler to a female dog in eastern India in a bid to prevent his predicted death at the hands of a tiger, a report said Wednesday."

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."
