A man in his late teens or early twenties, as described by witnesses, saw the peacock sitting on the hood of a car as employees were feeding it. He grabbed the bird by the neck, hurled it at the pavement and started stomping on it. When asked by the employees what he was doing the man said "I'm killing a vampire!"

A German Court on Monday dropped a case against three teenagers whose festive firecrackers outside an eastern German farm, allegedly, not only scared an ostrich but also made the bird impotent. Rico Gabel, the owner of the farm in Lohsa, northeast of Dresden, had charged that the boys should pay for the losses he incurred due to the impotency of the bird. After hearing a testimony from an ostrich expert that said there was no connection between the noise and the lack of offspring, the court ordered the teens to only pay $188 that Gabel spent on his ostrich's vet costs, according to the AP reports.

A 19-year-old woman was arrested after she tried to bribe an officer in exchange for a warning for underage drinking. According to authorities, Amber Breanne Gordon used someone else's ID during an identification check at the Summit Restaurant and Bar in Iowa City early Monday morning and offered the officer in charge, at the time, $17 for letting her go with a warning. According to Police, when the officer replied "no," Gordon said she was "kind of joking," but could still pay if the officer was "down," according to Press-Citizen. com.

A German Court has been deciding whether to charge the three teenagers whose festive firecrackers outside an eastern German farm, allegedly, not only scared an ostrich but also made the bird impotent. According to Rico Gabel, the owner of the farm in Lohsa, northeast of Dresden, he was at a loss of 14 ostrich offspring that would have otherwise been born from the ostrich's two breeding partners. Rico claims an ostrich on his farm lost its sexual desire after being scared off by the fireworks set off by the boys, ages 17-18, between Dec. 27 and 29, 2005, according to the Associated Press reports.

After nearly five weeks of continuously troubling her and getting her to national television, the hiccups of a 15-year-old girl from Florida have finally come to an end. Jennifer Mae started hiccupping Jan. 23 close to 50 times a minute and it only stopped when she was sleeping. She tried all possible home remedies including holding her breath, sipping water and breathing in air but all in vain. Mae also went to a specialist, an acupuncturist and a neurologist but none of them could top the poor teenager from hiccupping.
