I rarely look at the news, finding it depressing. Today's quick dip into the BBC website though brought up this absolute gem
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10333211
Apparantly a student in Germany approached a Hell's Angels meeting place wearing nothing but shorts and carrying a puppy. He proceeded to moon the Hell's Angels, threw the puppy at them, then made his escape on a bulldozer! How obscure can you get?! But it get's better. He drove so slowly on the bulldozer that he collected a 5km tailback, then he abandoned the bulldozer and continued his escape by hitchhiking 
I imagine he wasn't too hard to pick up.
Seen anything ridiculous on the news recently?

Wow that is different. I feel the same way as you do I don't care to much for the news since most of it is very depressing. I think it would be a lot easier to listen to the news if it had more positive and upbeat things in it. But the depressing stuff sells and so that is what they stick with.

Well there's certainly a lesson in there for me, it seems the student stopped taking his depression medication. Well I hope I don't have the kind of episode this young student had if I forget to take my antidepressants! He certainly did it in style didn't he, something to tell the grandchildren in years to come. Hey kids guess what I did when I was 26, you'll never guess!

He didn't happen to be one of your former guests, did he?

We have all seen amusing and bizarre stories in the news at times, but I must admit that this is a rather exceptional one. he obviously had no intention of making a serious attempt to elude capture, so the only logical explanation would be a desire to make the news. There have always been people who will go to absurd lengths to claim their proverbial 15 minutes of fame, this being a prime example. By the combination of lack of clothing, pointless gesture of throwing a puppy at Hell's Angels and his outrageous mode of travel he was no doubt trying to insure the maximum level of publicity without actually committing a serious crime.
I have not yet claimed my 15 minutes of fame, but I cannot compete with that level of nonsense so I shall resign myself to remaining unknown.

Not that ridiculous. I hope that the puppy was OK. I think the person needs to be charged with cruelty to animals for something like that. I don't think the puppy asked to be thrown.
