FLATULENCE has led to a major
drug bust in the UK, after a group
of police officers opened the
windows of their vehicle because
one of them kept breaking wind.
The patrol car was in Leicester,
and when they wound down
the windows the crack team of
operatives noticed a distinct smell
of marijuana as they breathed in
the welcome fresh air.
“They asked their colleague
in the back what he had been
eating, and after fits of giggles
and denials, they realised the
cannabis smell was in the air in
the street outside,” according
to a report in the British Police
Federation magazine.
Suspicions were raised and
the police left the car to find the
cause of the smell, tracking it to a
nearby house where they found
a cannabis factory with a crop
worth about $20,000.
The windy officer had
apparently been on a high protein
diet after taking up body building,
with a report on orange.co.uk
citing a police source saying “it
was a good collar and it was
all down to this officer and his
flatulence”.
SCOTTISH children are being
encouraged to develop their
scientific curiosity via new remote
controlled cockroaches.
Demonstrated this week at
a technology conference in
Edinburgh, the revolting insects
have been fitted with a minute
backpack which communicates via
their antennae.
A lot more fun than pulling the
wings off flies, The Scotsman
reports that the electronically
adapted roaches can then be
controlled via bluetooth using a
smartphone.
They’ve been created by
scientist Greg Gage, who said
he was “pretty certain” it didn’t
cause pain for the cockroaches.
However an RSPCA spokesman
said the society “believes it is
inappropriate to encourage
children to dismantle insects”.
