pathology_doc1. Former Happy Mondays dancer Bez has been sent to jail for attempting to strangle his ex-fiancée Monica Ward. Bez, real name Mark Berry, has been given a four-week sentence at Manchester Magistrates Court yesterday, after refusing to perform unpaid work as a sentence, reports the Daily Mail.
If I ruled the world, such a man would go to the gallows... as would the brain-numbingly stupid magistrates who thought that unpaid community work or a month in prison constituted sufficient punishment. Twenty to life with hard labour at the minimum, please.
2. A Californian man who says he ordered French onion soup and bit into a condom instead of melted cheese has settled his lawsuit against the Claim Jumper restaurant chain. Hey, chef: condom ≠ consommé.
3. Police and wildlife experts have launched a search for two baby alligators that escaped from a zoo in southern France. Fortunately, 'These are young alligators with jaws hardly any bigger than a poodle's, so no one will get eaten.'
So they say now. Come back in a few months and we may not be so blasé
4. Looking for a fast-food fix? Can't decide between pizza and burgers? Burger King is here to save you: Burger King is set to launch the Pizza Burger - a two-in-one dish that contains more than 2,500 calories and is four times the size of the chain's Whoppers. The meal will delight fast-food fans when it is exclusively introduced at Burger King's Whopper Bar in Times Square, New York, next month.
Sounds a lot like a variant on the calzone. That being said, I'd buy one.
