Funny/Strange News Stories

In the case, we Texans didn't seem silly enough to the world, just read this on Jalopnik.
God Bless Texas. The state's house just overwhelmingly passed a law allowing hunters to shoot wild hogs from helicopters. It's called the "pork chopper" bill and it's not redneck silliness. Feral hogs cause $400 million in damage each year.

Not to say I have an issue with it, just thought it was funny that a law was made strictly for me to kill a hog from a helicopter.

ONLY IN TEXAS ... Texas Beer Joint Sues Church in MT.Vernon, Texas . Drummond's Bar began construction on an expansion of their building to increase their business. In response, the local Baptist Church started a campaign with petitions and prayers to block the bar from expanding. Work progressed right up until the week before the grand reopening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground! After it was burned to the ground by the lightning strike, the church folks were rather smug in their outlook, bragging about "the power of prayer", until the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the church ... "was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either through direct or indirect actions or means." In its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise. The judge read through the plaintiff's complaint and the defendant's reply, and at the opening hearing he commented, "I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but it appears from the paperwork that we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that now does not."

"I want Quebecers to have the same opportunity to listen to that debate that Canadians will have," Duceppe said.
"We all know hockey is very popular in Canada, and also in Quebec, and I think it would be a better choice to have that debate on Wednesday...

I know Quebec have been wanting to break away for years, but did they quietly succeed to do so recently? Its kind of like saying Alaskans and Americans, or Yorkshiremen and Englishmen, no?



On a similar, but probably sadder note, we had the time of a debate before our last election moved because of a cooking show. Link
 
Real Madrid won the coveted Copa Del Rey last night... they immediately took it on an open-top bus trip around Madrid to celebrate, but Sergio Ramos managed to drop it from the top deck, and the bus ran over it :ouch: :dopey:

Vladimir Putin once used a rubber dinghy to hunt whales with a crossbow. Among other things (it's Cracked, so it's NSFW for sweariness), like driving a Formula 1 car, personally fighting bushfires, shot a tiger with a tranquiliser pistol and measured its teeth and has mastered judo to the point where he has his own special move. The man is Dirty Harry, Han Solo and Solid Snake all rolled into one.

Who do you want running your country?
 
Putin needs to be in the next Terminator movie.
