The Weird World of News... In Triplicate!

I have three very weird news stories that I've found at United Press International.

1. A man who admitted having sex with a bicycle (yes, that's right, a bicycle!!!) in a Scottish hotel has been placed on the sex offenders register.

First of all, how the hell do you have sexual intercourse with a bicycle? Second, why is this man on the sex offenders register? Surely there's a nice padded rubber room somehwere that has this man's name on it.

2. British government jobcentres are carrying a job advert for a woman to strip on an internet site. Not surpisingly, the Daily Mail has it's usual conservative spin on it, condeming it by proxy. But this from a paper that blatantly shows provocative poses of Teri Hatcher from an episode of Desperate Housewives that has yet to air in the UK. Another case of do as I say not as I do.

3. Some Zimbabwean officials are disappointed to learn that you can't produce refined diesel by striking a rock with a stick!

The daftest thing about this story is that any government official believed her story long enough to give her money!!!
