TRICK-or-treat.
A British man has been
arrested after he gave children
in the northwestern town of
Royton bags of cocaine instead
of lollies when they knocked on
his door last weekend.
Police were called when the
kids reported finding “sachets of
white powder” in their
Halloween bags, with
subsequent testing confirming
that it was cocaine.
Fortunately none of the children
consumed the drug, with officers
saying they believe it was an
isolated accidental substitution.
HONESTY may not have been
the best policy to be adopted by
a Californian restaurateur, who
has erected a sign outside his
eatery explaining that it’s closed
due to a cockroach infestation.
Cafe del Soul, located in Marin
County in the North San
Francisco Bay Area, put up the
notice near its front door after
dobbing itself in to local
environmental officers.
The owner said that he had
wanted to be honest.
“If I can’t tell the truth to my
customers, then why have a
restaurant,” he said.
BILINGUAL animal.
An elephant named Koshik is
turning heads in the scientific
community after a report found
that he can speak Korean.
According to the report’s lead
author, Dr Angela Stoeger from
the University of Vienna, Koshik,
who resides in South Korea’s
Everland Zoo, imitates human
voices by popping his trunk into
his mouth.
During her research Stoeger
found that Koshik spoke five
Korean words, including hello,
sit down, no, lie down and good.
Stoger did however note that
it was unlikely the elephant
knows the meaning of the
words, but rather talks as a way
to bond with humans.
