A truck driver managed to drive four miles along a motorway with a man in a wheelchair stuck to the front of his lorry. The wheelchair with its passenger became stuck to the front grille of the truck when it stopped for gas. The truck driver then drove off at speeds of around 50 mph and was pulled over by the police four miles later to be told there was a man in a wheelchair stuck to his truck. The man in the wheelchair was not hurt but he did spill the soda he had been drinking.

You would expect the police to be very aware of simple security measures such as locking doors and windows but it seems not all policemen are. A police station in Northern Ireland was burgled after police officers went on patrol and left the windows unlocked and the alarm switched off. Great security guys.

It seems when there is a full moon there are more violent incidents reported. That's according to the Sussex police force who have started putting more police officers on the street of Brighton when there is a full moon because of the sharp rise in trouble reported. It appears that lunar gravity encourages people out when there is a full moon. There have been no reports of anyone turning into wolves yet though.

Fishermen Chris Earl and Tony Allsopp got more than they bargained on a trip to check their lobster pots. Finding a large deer swimming past them in the sea, they lassoed it and took it back to shore. Quite a catch.

A new sport is becoming popular in Denmark show jumping but with rabbits instead of horses. There are a number of different disciplines that the highly trained bunnies can compete in.

We can all rest easy in our beds, safe in the knowledge that were we to lose an important item such as a shuttlecock the police would investigate promptly. When two teenage girls in Cambridgeshire lost a shuttlecock in a neighbour's garden the matter was taken very seriously by police who visited the neighbour to investigate the theft of the shuttlecock. I wonder if the police would arrive that quickly if someone was trying to break into her house.

Have you ever wondered what a cat would do if you put it on a treadmill? Not much if this example is anything to go by. I must try this with my cats.

No seriously. 600 people on spacehoppers hopped together on the millennium bridge to beat the previous record of only 551 people on spcaehoppers hopping together. Strange.
