Veterinarian creates pig mood music
A veterinarian in Belgium has created a compact disc with boars grunting to sexually stimulate pigs. The vet said the music excites sows and makes it easier for him to artificially inseminate them. The CD is already a hit in Holland, with 400 copies sold. The vet will now release the CD in his homeland. He has also found that the louder the music plays the more excited the pigs become. One pig farmer actually placed speakers in the stable with the sows making them think the pig is living with them.
Snake eats tail
A king snake at an aquarium in Taiwan ate its own tail. The snake, which had not eaten in 24 hours, saw his own tail’s reflection and assuming it was another snake, swallowed it. The snake recovered after undergoing emergency treatment.
Drive-in brothels a hit
Germany has now decided to open more drive-in brothels after its first one was a success. The original brothel in Cologne has eight garage areas where clients can drive in to do their business with the women who work there. Not wanting to discriminate, there are areas available for customers who do not have a car to also partake in the festivities. Showers and toilets are provided for the women, as well as alert sirens in case of an emergency.
Woman advertises for grandson
A 64-year-old Chinese woman advertised in a local newspaper that she was searching for a grandson, since her son was not planning to have children. The woman said that she has enough money to support herself but is looking for a grandson to take care of as well. The woman said she wants to find a three-person family with a small child who are willing to allow her to take on the role of grandmother. After a six-month screening process, she would allow the entire family to move in with her. She has already had several responses to her request.
Skinny as a rail
Two 15-year-old boys arrested for disturbing the peace escaped from a prison in Buenos Aires, Argentina, by sliding between the prison bars. Police said the boys were quite thin and they managed to pass through the bars at night when the guard dozed off. Prison officials said they are astonished that this could have happened and that they never thought something like this could happen. They do admit, however, that their prisons were not built to hold teenagers.
Student fails 39 times
A student from La Plata, Argentina, has finally graduated from a university after taking a course for 20 years. The unnamed student failed the same class 39 times consecutively before finally passing it. The university said it had never seen anything like this before and that they will enact new policies to prevent it from happening again. Although they do have tolerance with students, they said that this case was a bit much.
No laughing matter
Prisons often offer ways for convicts to rehabilitate themselves, but one jail in England is offering something new. Winchester Jail now offers comedy courses to inmates. The jail hired comedians to teach courses for 400 prisoners. A local comedy bar chain is funding the project, which teaches convicts different means of communication.
