A man has to be taken to hospital after he became stuck to a toilet. Emergency services were called to a public toilet after a man found himself stuck. An ambulance crew were unable to free him so he was taken to hospital still attached to the seat. A doctor used a special chemical to free the man and the toilet was later returned. It appears that someone had left glue on the seat as a prank.

A drunk pony had to be rescued from a swimming pool after he ate too many fermented apples and fell into the water. The pony broke into a garden in Cornwall to get to the fruit trees. He gorged himself on the fermenting apples, getting himself "punch drunk" and then ended up in the swimming pool. The pony was later rescued by a team of firefighters who used a harness to pull him out.

An attempt to break the world record for the world's largest sandwich has failed because onlookers ate it. The 1,500 metre long sandwich was going to be filled with ostrich meat before being displayed in the park in Tehran. As the sandwich was being measured hungry spectators rushed forward and started eating it meaning that the exact length of the sandwich could not be verified for the world record attempt.

Cooks in Iran have assembled what could be the world's largest ostrich sandwich at a food festival in Tehran. 1500 cooks used 1,000kg of ostrich meat to make a 1,500m long sandwich which they hope will be large enough to earn a place in the Guinness Book of Records. It took two days to prepare the enormous sandwich which was created as part of an effort to promote Iran's ostrich farming business.

Romanian police have arrested a horse because they suspected it was drunk. The officers noticed the horse because the cart it was pulling looked out of control. They ran an alcohol test which came back positive and the horse was then arrested. It is thought the horse had been given alcohol before it was sold to make it look stronger and healthier.

This is interesting, it about a herd of elephants that pass through a hotel during their migration. The Mfuwe Lodge in Zambia was built right on the elephants migration route and rather than find another way around the elephants simply walk straight though. The herd of 10 elephants appear every November and take the same route every year to get to their favourite mango trees.

A couple have been killed after a bizarre ritual which was meant to help them give up smoking. The couple died of head injuries after being beaten with broomsticks and motorbike helmets during a family gathering at a home in Kuala Lumpar. According to the family members that were detained, the beating ritual had been suggested by a nephew after the couple said they could not give up smoking. It seems that the nephew convinced the other members of the family to beat each other.
