Zonkey: rare zebra-donkey born in Italy
TO Florence, where a zonkey is making news. A zonkey is a cross between a zebra and a donkey. Ansa.it says it’s a rare animal, although not as rare as a piger (tiger-penguin cross ) and not as common as a toyger (tiger-pet cat cross).
Ippo the zonkey was carried by a rare breed donkey and fathered by a zebra confiscated from a failing zoo. The pair met at an animal sanctuary.
Ansa reports:
Ippo was not bread intentionally, but is the product of the zebra’s determination after he climbed a protective fence to get to the donkey, the reserve managers said.
The zebra is part spider on his mother’s side…

Giant mouse found in Tesco store was by sent by God as punishment for supporting gay rights
WHY did a “giant mouse” run amuck at a Tesco store in London’s Covent Garden in 2012? One theory was that the mnouce had grown super fat on chicken and cakes.
Stephen Green, national director of Christian Voice, says the mouse was an act of God. Tesco had spent £30,000 to support London Gay Pride.
“It is symptomatic of the bad management of Tesco. Any company which announces its support for Gay Pride six weeks before Christmas obviously can’t operate basic pest control.”
“Nothing has gone right for Tesco since they decided to support ‘gay pride’. Their only hope is to repent of that decision and put their trust in God.”
File under: gay mites.

Man committed suicide because a crow sat on his head
“I AM waiting for the post-mortem report, but even I think he took the extreme step due to the crow incident. My brother had called my mother, Parvathi, and told her about the crow. He was very tense when he spoke. My mother rushed to an astrologer and on his advice told Anand to pray at the Hanumantharaya Swamy temple.”
The Bangalore Mirror reports:
Preliminary investigations revealed that Anand got very upset after a crow sat on his head on Wednesday. He immediately called his mother and narrated the entire incident to her, expressing fears that it augured ill… His mother tried to allay his fears and told him to visit the Hanumantharaya Swamy temple and light a lamp. Anand, however, was not convinced and went home and locked himself away before taking the drastic step.
Banu Prakash Sharma, an astrologer, said Hindus believe crows contain the souls of people who have committed suicide.
“After death, such a soul will not have or find any place to settle down, so it enters the eggs of a crow.”
Such are the facts…

Lancashire Wildlife Trust’s Alan Wright says:
“My jaw dropped when I saw it but the bird is perfectly happy… I have never seen anything like this before. It’s great that the builders are taking care of this bird. They will probably be like a doting family when the chicks are hatched.”

Mother offers car to any women who will have sex with her Harvard-bound son
A LOVING mother is calling for a “sugar baby” to have sex with her son before he heads to Harvard. Her advert on Craigslist says in exchange for lots of sex with the lad, the sexer will earn a car. It’s all pretty extraordinary, especially given that hiring prostitute is not all that tricky.
Anyhow, the 18-year-old is handsome, fit, clever and owns almost “zero body fat”. Mum is “sure” he’s virgin. How sure? Let’s not wonder too much:
What odds “mum” is the college kid?

Cornwall woman trapped for days in patio furniture
“WE don’t actually know how long she was there for but it was quite a long time,” said Polruan station manager Peter Ripley, of the woman found trapped in her patio furniture.
“It was one of those metal deck chairs with a canvas seat. The canvas had broken and she slipped right down in the seat and couldn’t move. It wasn’t until her neighbour came to water the garden that she was discovered. Paramedics came and she was taken to hospital as a precaution. She hurt her right leg, as her legs had been over the bar.
“She was in the sun all of the time too so she was dehydrated and quite brown.We don’t get a lot of these type of incidents but people who haven’t used their deck chairs for a while should be careful and check them before use, especially the elderly.”
Next week: tanning in swing chairs.

Invisible sex scares teachers stiff
TO Nashongo and Makaba primary schools in Siavonga, Zambia, where the teachers are scared stiff of invisible sex with wizards, witches and ghosts.
Chief Sinadambwe of the Tonga-speaking people says the teachers are making ready to flee the area. The Zambian Mail quotes him thus:
“The male teachers complained that they have been having sex with women they cannot see. This has been happening to them for about three weeks…
Have they tried opening their eyes?
“I received a complaint from a female teacher of Makaba Primary School who told me what had happened to her on Friday. She said while sleeping next to her husband, an invisible man undressed her and had sex with her.”
The woman awake to find herself naked and her nightdress and underwear on the floor. She asked her husband (not invisible) if he had had sex with her?
“The husband started wondering who could have done that to his wife.”
Chief Sinadambwe has called on Government to help resolve the matter.
Meanwhile, if you see anyone looking like they’re having sex with an invisible person or thing – we’re looking at you Rihanna (see stage show) – says ten’ Nail Marys’ and three ‘How’s Yer Fathers…

This hairless guinea pig looks like a baby hippo
DID you know that hairless guinea pig looks like a baby hippo? Well, it does. This might be how the little pets are treated before they hit the pot in darkest Peru:
In the United States, most guinea pigs intended for human consumption come from Peru as whole, frozen, hairless rodents in plastic bags.
Hippos are killed in a less refined manner:
In his poaching days in the Congo forests, Guillaume Kasereka used a rusty Russian-made rocket launcher to kill hippos for meat…
“I know killing a hippo is illegal, but I don’t know why,” said Kiyana Zirimagawabo, 55, wearing green flip-flops and a cowboy hat over his graying hair. “Animals are for us to eat.”
