Reported here by Reuters, a German student from Allershausen, Bavaria went nuts for reasons as yet unclear.
The first evidence of this was him (for no apparent reason) making "rude hand gestures" at a group of Hell's Angels. However, clearly feeling this was an inadequate method of venting his rage he then captured a small dog and threw it at the bemused bikers.
Perhaps at this time he felt he'd pushed his luck too far. (We all know what happens to people who throw puppies at Hell's Angels). So the student decided to make good his escape. By stealing a bulldozer.
Whether the HA decided to go after him is unclear. Possibly they would have been unable to catch up, as the academic miscreant managed to cause a 3-mile traffic jam by the time he dumped the machine. Police subsequently apprehended him at his house. Apparently he had been suffering from depression. The dog thankfully suffered no harm.

Boy Saves Sister from Moose using World of Warcraft skills.
From the Norway-based news site Nettavisen (here in English via Google Translate, here in Norweigan)
Hans JΓΈrgen Olsen, a 12-year-old boy from Leksvig, Norway was making his way to school with his 10-year-old sister when the pair were confronted by a....MOOSE! The moose was clearly in an irritable mood as it charged them on sight. Young Hans shrieked at the enraged beast but "realised quickly that it would not stop". Presumably when it butted him to the ground. When he regained his bearings the creature was standing menacingly over him.
At this point things get weird. Hans told the newspaper that he drove away the moose by pretending to be dead: a trick he learnt "on Level 30 of World of Warcraft". One might suggest that the moose (a herbivore) got bored and buggered off to find some grass to eat.
But in any case, the moose did leave so Hans and his sister were able to make it to school uneaten. The school nurse was able to confirm that the heroic youth had suffered nowt more damage than a few bruises. All's well that ends well!
Seriously though, a MOOSE? Is a moose really going to kill and devour someone? If so, how? A moose can't exactly GORE ya. Okay, sure, it has antlers. Antlers that look like OVEN GLOVES!
Come to think of it, oven gloves would probably do more damage. You could slap somebody with one and cause them to spill their tea over their foot.
This has been a World Of Bizarre special.
And unlike *other* sites, I've actually done my research and not embellished the news story.

World Cup predictor from the BBC
Aunty (the British Broadcasting Corporation) have favoured the license payers yet again with a pretty nifty online World Cup predictor. Ye just click on who you think is gonna win matches. Sweet 'n' simple.
It be located right here (BBC website).
FYI, my predictions have Argentina beating Brazil in the final with England coming third.
It looks like Group A is this tournament's "Group of Death" - could really go any way. What form will France show up in? I gotta believe that my Mexican homeboys will qualify from the group stages at least.

Batista needs your help!
When surfing the net the day after "The Animal" Dave Batista's departure from WWE, I came across this wildlife website which is coordinating aid for the former 'sports-entertainer' and captured a screenshot.

Lost In Translation: Twitter!
Following the example of PyroPoet, I've been putting Tweets in Portuguese through Google Translate to try to make sense of them. Hilarity insued!
These Tweets were all related to a certain Brazilian soccer star. Here are the cream of the crop:
Only three words can adequately sum that up:
"IT FUCKING BITCH!"
These Tweets were all related to a certain Brazilian soccer star. Here are the cream of the crop:
- Maluf opens avenue Michel Bastos. Steal a few balls, but he scores, and leaves a large estate on his back.
- imagine taking a kick in the sack of Michel Bastos? one lump sum to 139km an hour? dude, your bag would disappear for sure
- Every day for more old Michel Bastos Roberto Carlos. The great goal to put it confirms Zimbabwe. The best free kick.
- Michel Bastos bangers player coincide with the last name translation into French.
- Michel bastos firming its position by sending well! Thank goodness because I could not bear the Gilberto.
- Julio Batista, with pass-heel, and Michel Bastos, with lack of home run, left good impression.
- Good band player Michel Bastos. He has a great left foot shot. Footballer interesting.
- The kick from Michel Bastos reached 139 km / h. It fucking bitch!
- Great Michel Bastos. Shot the best player of the match!
Only three words can adequately sum that up:
"IT FUCKING BITCH!"

World Of Crazy - Freak(ing huge) Wave
Video footage of fishing ship hit by rogue wave. (They survived)
"Rogue waves" aka Freak Waves (2 x bigger than the mean of the largest third of waves in a wave record) have been long rumoured in maritime folklore but not scientifically measured until 1995 when one hit the Draupner Platform in the North Sea.
As their name suggests, rogue/freak waves appear randomly and there is no clear understanding of their cause and no way of predicting their occurrence. Researchers (and the media) have raised the possibility of rogue waves being responsible for many unexplained disappearences of ships at sea.

Retards Of Our Planet (Part 5)
Don't Trust Foreign Companies...
...is the opinion of renowned dumbass Sarah Palin in the wake of the environmental disaster in the Gulf Of La Raza.
Thankfully her husband Todd Palin is far less xenophobic, having only recently left British oil giant BP after 18 years of loyal service.
Reported here.
Evil Otters
The Kendal and District Angling Club are in uproar due to malicious otters having the gall to eat fish in local rivers.
Otters are a protected species in England after their numbers fell to near extinction in the 1980s. One angry fisherman, Mr Tony Ryan, has proposed lifting their protected status so he can legally kill them.
Reported here.
Bunting Banned
Carnival organisers in Ferndown, Dorset have been banned from hanging up bunting (strings of small, plastic flags) on grounds that it might cause lampposts to fall down.
Nuff said really! Reported here.
