Slightly amusing news articles.

[PAGEToap44]

I've searched this and didn't find anything similar. If there is, my bad.

I just came across this aricle ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8169428.stm ) which is quite ridiculous. It made me chuckle a little. Then again, others among you may find my humour to be lacking in substance or of bad taste. But that's beside the point. I created this thread to ask you, fellow Escapists, to find and share any recent peices of information from around the globe, whether they be hilarious, thought provoking or downright shocking, and post them here.

Happy hunting!

Oh wait, that's not funny at all. It's just idiotic and faith-eroding.

There are several good news articles about mistranslation from English to Welsh...
