All about unusual and funny news

If you get an itch whilst holding a loaded gun it would seem sensible to put the gun down and look around for something to care of the problem. One man in Texas finding he had a rather annoying itch scratched it with a loaded revolver and not surprisingly ended up shooting himself in the back. He was taken to hospital where he was treated for his injuries, it is not know whether he still has the itch.

A man in Tennessee who stole a pair of trousers whilst wearing a gorilla mask has been caught by police. The man had robbed a man at gun point and demanded that he had over both his wallet and his trousers. The masked gunman was later caught when police searched his car and found a gorilla mask, bandanas, 2 bullets, some latex gloves and the stolen trousers.

• Police in Lincoln are baffled after finding thousands of pounds of cut up money dumped in bins. The money has been cut into tiny pieces and is said to be beyond repair.

A man in Chicago has ordered a custom made beer can coffin. However, he has no plans to use the coffin just yet and instead threw a party for his friends using the coffin as a giant beer cooler.

A man in Crowley was arrested after he tried to cash a cheque for $360 billion. He had said the cheque had been given to him by his girlfriends mother so that he could start a record business. Surprisingly staff at the bank were a little suspicious and called the lady who had supposedly written the cheque. Also surprisingly she had no knowledge of writing the cheque. Now I think I might recall writing a cheque for $360 billion. Perhaps if he was trying to get away with it, he should have chosen to cash a cheque for a slightly smaller amount.
