Zimbamwe Police gear possessed [Satire]

HARARE, Zimbabwe (Anonymous) - Zimbabwe's Police truncheons and Police boots are possessed by cunning, yet invisible colonial evil spirits claimed octogenarian President Robert Mugabe yesterday on Zimbabwe's national television - as he tried to explain the incident last week when main opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was hospitalized after Police boots and truncheons found their way all over his body up to his head, almost splitting it open - as they uncontrollably pounded him into a pulp.

President Robert Mugabe has immediately sent an envoy to the Vatican in an attempt to plead with the pontiff to dispatch an army of priests and bishops to Zimbabwe as soon as possible to carry out an exorcism on the 'faulty' possessed Police combat gear. Apart from the truncheons and boots, some shotguns and teargas canisters also seem to be possessed as many Police officers have reported witnessing them with the eerie ability to explode on their own, whenever there seems to be a gathering of no more than 2 Zimbabwean's at any one place. The Holy See has promised to help the African country.

In the meantime President Mugabe is praying for the speedy recovery of Mr Tsvangirai.

Neurosurgeon conversation [Joke]

A British doctor says: "The medicine in my country is so advanced that we can remove the brain of a man, put it in another man and make him get a job in six weeks."

A German doctor says: "That's nothing. We can remove the brain of a person, put it in another one and prepare him for war in four weeks."

The American doctor, not to be surpassed, says: "Friends, both of you are outdated. Recently we identified a man without a brain from Texas and placed him in the White House. Now we have half the country looking for a job and the other half preparing for war!"

Boy's voice 'kills 400 chickens' [Fact]

BEIJING, China (Reuters) - Hundreds of chickens have been found dead in east China, and a court has ruled that the cause of death was the screaming of a four year old boy who in turn had been scared by a barking dog, state media reported on Wednesday.

The bizarre sequence events began when the boy arrived at a village home in the eastern province of Jiangsu in the summer with his father who was delivering bottles of gas, the Nanjing Morning Post reported.

A villager was quoted as saying the little boy bent over the henhouse window, screaming for a long time, after being scared by the dog.

"One neighbor told police that he had heard the boy's crying that afternoon and another villager confirmed the boy screaming by the henhouse window," the newspaper said.

A court ruled the boy's screaming was "the only unexpected abnormal sound" and that 443 chickens trampled each other to death in fear.

The boy's father was ordered to pay 1,800 yuan ($230) in compensation to the owner of the chickens.
