Germany: doner kebab sparks arrest
A simple doner kebab has led to the arrest of a man in Berlin.
He got on a bus while eating the Turkish dish, despite the driver asking him not to.
An attempt to make him get off at the next stop also failed and resulted in the 57-year-old passenger trying to hit the driver. The police were called, but even they couldn’t convince the man to leave, so they ended up carrying him off the bus!
Scotland: giant bunny, anyone?

Once he reaches adulthood, he could measure up to 1.2 metres in length – that’s the size of a large dog!

Greece: the truth is out there
People in Piraeus, near the Greek capital, may be surprised by what they see parked by the Municipal Theatre.
An Unidentified Flying Object is sitting outside. But no need to “phone home” just yet, it’s there to promote the popular TV series X-Files, which has made a comeback in recent months and is now on air in Greece!
