Unfortunately, the container remains partly buried and inaccessible and nobody knows how many telephones it still contains.

Didn't Pete Doherty get hospitalised by a hedgehog yesterday?

When I was picking out some hotel room reading material in Tescos I saw a copy of Fortean Times on the shelf. I thought they'd stopped doing the print edition.

I think it's the other way round. I think it's their digital version they've dumped.

That's a suitably weird commercial decision in this day and age.

I suspect they've realised what most newspaper and magazine publishers have failed to notice, that it's possible to make money selling small numbers of printed publications and impossible to make money from having zillions of visitors to online publications.

Mystery animal sighting in Krakow ends up being a croissant.
When animal welfare workers in the Polish city of Krakow were called out to a sighting of an unusual animal squatting in a residential area, their initial reaction was this must be a late April Fool's joke.
A woman, with "desperation in her voice", called them to say the "creature" had been "sitting in a tree across the road for two days".
"Everyone is scared of him!" she told the authority, begging them to come and investigate.
"People aren't opening their windows because they're afraid it will go into their house," she added.
But, as it turns out, the beast wasn't a bird of prey as the officers hypothesised, but... a croissant.

Why? They're a bit peckish?

You can see that he'd be suited to distracting people.
