Police catch a pigeon with 200 ecstasy pills hidden on its back. Authorities have caught a pigeon trying to smuggle 178 ecstasy pills from Iraq to Kuwait, in this little hand-stitched backpack.

Teachers Give 13-Year-Old Girl ‘Most Likely to Become a Terrorist’ Award. A number of teachers at Anthony Aguirre Junior High in Channelview, Texas, are under fire after they held a mock awards ceremony on Tuesday and named a 13-year-old student “most likely to become a terrorist.” Lizeth Villanueva, a seventh grader, received a certificate from one teacher, and said that copies of the same certificate were given to several other students while other students and teachers “watched and laughed.” Ena Hernandez, Lizeth’s mother, found the certificate strange because Lizeth is in an advanced academic program and has never been in trouble.

The telegram that drove Hitler to suicide, recently sold for $55,000. “My Fuhrer: General Koller today gave me a briefing on the basis of communications given to him by Colonel General Jodl and General Christian, according to which you had referred certain decisions to me and emphasized that I, in case negotiations would become necessary, would be in an easier position than you in Berlin.

Your faithful Hermann Goering”
