Biker looks for false teeth on busy Spain highway

MADRID — A motorcyclist brought traffic to a standstill on one of Madrid's busiest highways after he pulled over to look for his false teeth, which flew out of his mouth when he sneezed, according to local media reports.

Two municipal police officers approached the motorcyclist Saturday and ordered him to resume his journey for his own safety and that of other drivers on the capital's M-30 highway, Europa Press reported. It wasn't known if the man found his dentures.

City police weren't immediately available to confirm the report and provide more details

Natural' energy drink banned for containing erectile dysfunction drug

MosKa, described as a herbal energy drink designed to naturally enhance sexual performance, was found to contain Levitra - the brand name of drug vardenafil - when tested by Australian authorities.

Possible side effects of the drug include priapism - an abnormally long lasting and persistent erection, which can cause permanent damage, along with sudden hearing loss.

It is particularly dangerous for men with heart conditions - who are not prescribed the drug - due to possible cardiovascular side effects.

In a statement on the company's website, MosKa said the batches were produced by an external supplier and so they were unaware of the undeclared ingredient.read more

Ghost: The figure of a girl can be seen at the bottom of the picture

A couple who claim the ghost of a Victorian girl is "haunting" some of their family snaps say they have been left terrified by the spooky images.

Weird news of the week: April 25, 2014

Economic plight forces mobsters to go straight

From record-breaking lifts to the hunt for the perfect cheese recipe, here's the weirdest news of the week.

The current economic crisis in Italy is forcing members of the Mafia in Sicily to get “real jobs,” according one of its jailed bosses.

Giovanni Di Giacomo, a Cosa Nostra don currently serving a life sentence, was secretly recorded lambasting recession-induced cutbacks that have forced the closure of the businesses and hotels the gang would extort money from in return for protection.

The result is cuts to support payments to incarcerated members – a Mafia tradition – and the hunt for legal job opportunities by cash-strapped mobsters.

So residents can look forward to being served by Lucky Luciano in a supermarket, or waited on by Don Corleone in a restaurant. You’d definitely make sure you tipped correctly, that’s for sure.

Man named Edward Cocaine arrested for drug possession

There were giggles in the bond court and Judge John "Jay" Hurley did a double take as the man's name was announced, before he uttered: "What?"

"My last name is Cocaine," the man said proudly at the podium, it transpiring that it was indeed his legal name as stated on his driver's license.

"You know, I thought I'd seen it all," Hurley laughed. "How many times have the police told you to step out of the car during your life?"

"Just about every time I get pulled over," Cocaine replied.

Funnily enough Cocaine was actually arrested for illegal possession of Xanax.read more

Sheffield’s Meadowhall shopping centre introduces fast and slow walking lanes

One young shopper, 10-year-old Chloe Nash-Lowe, had finally had enough of the zombie-like shufflings of her fellow consumer; so she decided to write her local shopping centre a letter about the problem, explaining that she is “incredibly disappointed” by the number of slow walkers.

“It annoys me so much I want to scream,” she added. “People are in a rush for work and this can cause people being late. It is dangerous because if someone bumped into you the person that is slow will fall over.”

Sensing the PR opportunity, Meadowhall Shopping Centre were quick to respond - by opening a slightly genius fast and slow walker’s read more

Celebrity vet Chris Brown interrupts 'dolphin orgy' during filming

Dr Brown said he was swimming with the animals off the New South Wales coast after attempting to attract them by singing a high pitched tune.
His call appeared to have worked when he suddenly found himself surrounded by dolphins.
"Either they are here because of my call or they are here to tell me to 'shut the hell up'," the surprised vet can be heard saying in a clip from the programme's teaser.
He said he only realised the animals were mating when he watched the segment back.
“I’ve always known dolphins to be incredibly social and inquisitive. And this day they were. But it was different,” Dr Brown told The Daily Telegraph's Sydney Confident
