Crazy World: Teen swallows spoon...

 A seventeen-year-old girl could not imagine what was causing her sore throat and decided to do a self examination for angina alone.

She looked into her throat using a spoon as a tongue depressor and while performing her own exam, swallowed the spoon.

When her throat pain became unbearable, the teenager from Czech city took a teaspoon, stood before the mirror and began to push the back of the tongue, as doctors do. Trying to get a better look at the throat, she inserted in a bit more inside until she began coughing and gagging and before she knew it the girl instinctively swallowed it!

In a panic, she rushed to the hospital. Doctors sent her to the X-ray, which showed the spoon in the stomach, reported News Weird magazine.

Under anesthesia the spoon was removed.

Her ‘husband’ was in fact a woman

(GETTY)

An Indian villager had to wait for six months to realise that she had in fact married a woman, and not a man.

But by the time the lid was blown, her “husband” had disappeared with a car and a 4x4 purchased with loans taken in the woman’s name, reports Press Trust of India.
 
In the rather bizzare incident, 27-year-old Minati Khatua from Rourkela was told by her “husband” that they couldn’t consummate their marriage since “he” was observing a religious ritual and hence sex was prohibited. And the poor village woman believed that.

The “husband” who had given the name as Sitakant Routray was found to be a woman. Police are now on the lookout for the woman whose original identity is not known.
 

Gang takes a dip before burgling house

(GETTY)

Police in Lancashire are investigating a string of burglaries in which the thieves took a dip in householder's hot tubs before raiding their homes.

There have been at least four similar incidents at homes with hot tubs in and around Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire.

In one case, the raiders even left their wet underwear on the side of the hot tub, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Ashley and Cherie Deakin had more than £3,500 worth of goods stolen from their detached home in Oswaldtwistle.

The couple, who had bought the hot tub last year as a joint 40th birthday present, and their son Nathaniel, 16, were sleeping upstairs when burglars jumped over the garden fence to enjoy a soak.

The raiders then broke into the house and stole a 42in plasma TV, a Nintendo Wii games console, mobile telephones, laptop and a wallet.

"It takes some nerve to use the hot tub before breaking in. We have been shocked at how cheeky it is," said Mrs Deakin.

"You would expect most burglars would want to get in and out of a house as quickly and quietly as possible, but not these thieves."

Sergeant Simon Holderness, from Lancashire Police, said: "We understand there has been some unusual activity in the gardens of the homes in recent weeks related to the hot tubs.

"There is a serious side to this, even though some people might find it amusing."

Bus driver quits for ‘killing’ snowman

(SCREEN GRAB OF THE YOUTUBE VIDEO)

An American bus driver has quit his job after a video of him running over a snowman was posted on Youtube and seen by his bosses.

The video clip shows a car slowing down and going around the snowman which was in the middle of the road in Urbana, Illinois, reports Orange News.

Seconds later the bus ran over and flattened the snowman with shocked onlookers yelling “Oh! No!”

Although the video had sparked a debate on who is to be blamed -- whether the bus driver or the person who erected the snowman right in the middle of the road – the driver quietly put in his papers.

The clip titled “Insane Bus Driver Brutally Murders Snowman” has already attracted more than 60,000 hits on Youtube.

Viagra hardens even pie

(GETTY)

What has Viagra got to do with pies? Well, a batch of pies stolen while being taken to a pie eating competition in Wigan, US, was laced with the libido pill.

The baker who made the pies later said he used Viagra as a preservative to keep the potatoes firm and not for anything to do with enhancing the male libido.

Tony Callaghan later told locals to watch out for the “hardened criminals” who stole the pies.
