Sneak Peek

Over lunch, I read some interesting snippets in mXnews that had me very entertained. So if you're having a down Friday (for whatever reason), hope you'll cheer up after this.

Story #1
HEADLINE: Oh Bollocks, This Makes Me Testy
A CROATIAN man got a nasty surprise when he tried to get out of his deck chair and found his testicles were stuck. Mario Visnjic went swimming naked in the sea at the Valalta beach in western Croatia.
His testicles shrank while in the cool sea and slipped through the slats when he sat on his wooden deckchair. But as he lay in the sun they expanded back to normal size and got stuck between the slats. He was freed after he called beach maintenance services on his mobile phone and staff cut the deck chair in half.

Story #2
HEADLINE: Bummer
A US fire station had to close yesterday after it became infested with felas. The station house, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was overrun after hundreds of fleas latched on a crew answering a call to a condemned home. They sprayed the station down with pesticide but had to call an exterminator to get rid of them, spokesman Brian O' Connor said.

Story #3:
HEADLINE: Punchy End to Freedom
Two Italian prisoners released under a national pardon celebrated freedom with such gusto in a bar they were back inside within five hours.
Freed from Macomer jail on Sardinia to relieve prison overcrowding, Massimiliano Formula, 32 and Raimondo Muntoni, 28, were arrested for punching police.

Story #4:
HEADLINE: Urine Real Trouble Now
There was a comedy, and there were toilets, but any humour was purely unintentional.
An Indian film crew shooting Keep At It, Munnabhai ran into trouble when filming in a snazzy blue-and-white tiled toilet in a popular suburban mall.
The problem: automatically flushing urinals.
"At one point, with so many unit members inside the loo, all the flush sensors went berzerk and started flushing simultaneously," director Raju Hirani said.
