Drama On the Savannah

Footage of a pride of lions downing a water buffalo calf. But that isn’t the half of it…

Video is a little over eight minutes long. Be sure to watch all of it, though. Push Play or go to YouTube. (Shaky-cam warning!)

Indian Robber Fed Banana Purgative

banana purgative

In Kolkata, India a thief pinched a 45,000-rupee (USD 1,118) necklace from a woman and promptly swallowed it when police and local residents caught him.

The Indian police forced Sheikh Mohsin to eat 40 bananas in a few hours hoping they would force him to excrete the gold necklace. They stayed up all night monitoring Mohsin’s motions; he visited the toilet three times early and was also forced to vomit but the necklace has failed to appear.

“We will have to look for other stronger purgatives now,” the yawning police officer added.

Update: After the failed banana purgative, Monshin was fed a hearty meal that included rice, chicken and local bread. He excreted the necklace in his fifth attempt during the afternoon, and a sweeper was paid 50 rupees (USD 1.00) to fish out the necklace from the poo.

Monshin’s plea for release was denied and he could face three months’ rigorous imprisonment.

To find out how an alien radio station looks like, you don’t have to travel some to Alpha Centauri, just go to Krakow, Poland and visit the headquarters of RMF Radio.
