In Case You Missed It

A thief in Norway walked out of an aquarium carrying a crocodile named Taggen. A $5,000 reward has been offered for the return of the reptile. I'm guessing the thief will return the animal after using the line,

"Well, yes, my darling. I am happy to see you and, as a matter of fact, that is a crocodile in my pants."

[Update from Barry] "The crock has been delivered back to the zoo. The thief was a reptile enthusiast who thought he could care for the crock better than the zoo. He got cold feet because the theft got so much publicity. The crock is ok, and the zoo says the reptile thief's claims of mal-treatment are rediculous (sic)."

In Germany, Mr. Norbert Pohl complained of pain after minor surgery, only to find out that doctors had left two, let me reiterate -- Two!, 15-inch surgical clamps in his abdomen.

The clamps "rattled and shook like a chain saw, mincing his insides to pieces," said Mr Pohl's lawyer, who has launched a £100,000 damages claims against medical staff who carried out the operation.

The clamps were 15 inches long! Isn't that about the size of a lug wrench?
