Police dogs in Germany will get special blue plastic shoes for when they go out on patrol. All 20 of the police dogs are being trained to walk in the new shoes which have been introduced because of the high rate of paw injuries the dogs sustain whilst on duty. The shoes come in small, medium and large and even match the police officer’s uniforms.

A man who was accused of killing his wife came up with a really great alibi. Rather than use a more plausible explanation such as “I was in the pub”
David Clark said he had been trying to exorcise a demon from his wife’s body when it returned and killed her. Now why don’t I believe him?

A
Malaysian burglar was caught after he took time out from robbing a house to help himself to some cookies. As we all know, after eating cookies you really need a good nap and that’s just what the burglar did next. Needless to say when the family who owned the house arrived home the burglar was quickly discovered and was arrested for trespassing.

There have also been attempts to include Morris dancing in the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics

All the fish were saved.
