DID YOU FART?

Now this is different. The police burst into a home in London during a drug raid. Apparently, one of the officers farted during the proceedings and didn't apologize. The druggies were offended by this lapse in common courtesy and have now issued a formal complaint against the police involved. "An allegation has been received from a person in the house that one of the male officers broke wind and did not apologize to the family for his action...the complainant felt it was rude and unprofessional," the letter stated.

Diamond Mining

When Mary Denise Flowers went to Littman Jewelers she saw a lovely 1.5 carat diamond ring that she liked so much she could just eat it up! So she did. Sadly for Mary, a security camera caught her swallowing the $20k piece of jewelry and she was arrested.

Littman Jewelers has now recovered the slightly-worse-for-wear ring and is going to have it melted down, and they swear they won't resell the diamond itself. Ew.

Running of the Wool

Wellington, New Zealand, wants to be the next Pamplona. Lacking bulls to run down their city streets, though, they settled upon sheep. 2000 of them. The first annual Running of the Sheep went, well, baaaaaaaaaadly.

Unlike the big angry bulls which trample everything in their way as they course straight down the city streets of Pamplona, the sheep reportedly just kind of ran around in circles a la Far Side cartoons.

So the spectators all started pushing the sheep around and whistling and shouting at them and the woolies just ran all over the place with looks of confusion on their dull faces.

Said one spectator: "The sheep I think panicked . . . and we couldn't keep in front of them,"

The event "was extremely ambitious, sheep being sheep, and people being people," one unnamed woman told TV3 News.
