Strange but true

[TightEnd]

to begin with, consider the following


Hundreds of chickens have been found dead in east China – and a court has ruled that the cause of death was the screaming of a four-year-old boy who in turn had been scared by a barking dog. The bizarre sequence of events began when the boy arrived at a village home in the eastern province of Jiangsu in the summer with his father who was delivering bottles of gas. A villager was quoted as saying the little boy bent over the henhouse window, screaming for a long time, after being scared by the dog. 443 chickens trampled each other to death in fear. The boy's father was ordered to pay 1800 yuan (£150) in compensation to the owner of the chickens.


and, not only that. Cow news.

A cow has gone for a four-hour swim in the surf in a bizarre bovine spectacle before drowning off Queensland's coast. The two-year-old Brahman-cross escaped from a nearby paddock on Sunday and travelled 2km to where it was spotted by beachgoers paddling 300m out to sea. The owner said when police phoned him to report his missing cow had been sighted swimming in the ocean it was the strangest thing he had ever heard. A crowd of more than 100 were drawn to the beach as word spread about the body surfing cow, which swam for three hours, coming to shore twice before returning to the waves. The owner and a friend eventually took a tinnie out to try to rescue the cow which was paddling in water around 7m deep but could not bring her to land. She eventually drowned from swallowing water. A University of Queensland school of animal studies lecturer said it was the first time in 20 years he had heard of such strange behaviour. Cows are good swimmers and often wade out into dams. But to swim in the ocean for that long was bizarre. "It is unusual, I've never seen anything like that."

A man who took more than the recommended dose of Viagra to increase his capacity for sexual pleasure is claiming it has left him with blue vision.

Pfizer recommends users stick to the dosage to avoid unwanted effects

John Pettigrew, 58, a heating engineer, said he is suffering from a permanent side-effect after taking extra pills that he bought on the internet.

The father-of-two said he regrets not heeding the advice of doctors and drug manufacturer Pfizer after only being able to see the world in shades of blue.

"I admit I ignored the advice on the packet," he said yesterday. "I was having too much fun.

"But I'd give up all the sex in the world to be able to see a red letterbox again.

"I have been seeing the world in blue for more than a fortnight now and it's doing my head in."

Mr Pettigrew, who lives in Brighton, East Sussex, added: "At least I'm a Chelsea fan."

The Kent firm Pfizer, which makes Viagra, say that people should not exceed the recommended dose as the drug can add a blue tint to users' eyesight.
