On the night of his wedding, a German farmer learned that his wife was a man.
Wolfgang Zober, 55, said he turned to Internet dating because he had been unlucky in love, and hit it off immediately with Randy Victoria, 38.
“We only had a kiss and cuddle before we married. But on my wedding night, she told me she had a penis – and that her real name was Ralf. I was devastated,” he said.

Chewing tobacco is bad for you – especially if you’re an armed robber.
When a masked man flashed a knife in a Des Moines, Iowa, convenience store, the cashier hurled two cans of “chaw,” hitting the would-be crook squarely in the face.

A car wash in Russia cost $500,000 for one driver.
As workers emptied the vacuum cleaner at the St. Petersburg car wash, they discovered a diamond pendant.
“I didn’t know how much it was worth at first, so I got a jeweler to come around,” said the car-wash owner, Vladimir Shapiro.
“When I heard the value, my jaw dropped to the floor. You would have to notice losing something like this.”

In Uruguay, one might ask, “Where isn’t the beef?”
More than a thousand soldier/chefs barbecued 26,400 pounds of beef to set a new Guinness world record, while promoting the nation’s top export.
The army personnel set up a mile-long grill, and firefighters lit six tons of charcoal to kick off the gargantuan cookout.
Some 1,250 people grilled the beef, and about 20,000 spectators cried with joy when a Guinness judge confirmed the barbecue record had been broken.
