Strange news round up...
Water Fight!
A total of six people have been arrested after a mass waterfight broke out near Oxford Street in London last Friday. It is thought that as well as water pistols the revellers were using dart guns, dartboards and Darth Vaders. The fight was alleged to have gone on for around 8 hours and was timed using one of these beautiful array of clocks. Other watches and timepieces are also available.
Penguin 5 1/2-a-side
11 penguins were playing a bit of football in South Korea last week as a bit of entertainment for passers by. Out of the water and onto the pitch the Humboldt penguins were just practising by aiming their flippers at the goals and taking a few penalties. And although some spectators thought they saw a fight break out it was claimed it was a friendly match and they were saving their energy for their game against the meercats at next weeks animal World Cup. Zebras are favourite to win because of their pace and their ability to dazzle the goalkeepers with their stripes.
Wayne the hell did you do that?!
15 members of staff at a pub in West Yorkshire have changed their names to Wayne Rooney in recognition of England's efforts in the World Cup. And both the managers have changed their names to Fabio Capello. Apparently it's hilarious for the regulars because when they shout 'Wayne' all of the bar staff turn around. I bet it's quick to get a pint in there.
Cheesus Christ!
The annual cheese-rolling event in Gloucestershire has proven super popular even though the event was said to have been cancelled last year. Event organisers said injured persons would not receive care amid health and safety concerns. An unofficial event went on anyway with 6 times champion Chris Anderson winning the race. Anderson commended the fact that some people had chosen to run down the hill instead of merely rolling from the top. 'It was a bit tougher than normal. I had a bit of competition this year. Some decent competition. Some local Brockworth boys for once' Anderson said after dressing his swollen ankle.
Some less brave cheese-chasers were said to be hurling smaller cheeses such as Dairylea and Babybell down a molehill in the area. Their efforts to gain the respect of the big cheese-chasers went un-noticed.
That concludes this weeks round up of news. Enjoy.
