WEIRD BUT TRUE
A Massachusetts woman says she found something a little too special in the house special at the Jade Chopsticks restaurant – a mouse head.
“It was disgusting-looking. It had two little black eyes and a little narrow snout . . . I’ll never eat out again,” said Delphine Hamilton.
Health inspectors in Dorchester shut the eatery after finding mouse poo and rodent infestation.

Students in England can now get extra points on their final exams – if their pet dies.
New academic guidelines say the trauma caused by the loss of a dog or cat is worth two extra percentage points.
That’s become a pet peeve for education reformer Nick Seaton, who says, “This panders to the growing attitude in society that there is an excuse for everything.”

Officer Marius Vlasceanu claimed his bizarre remarks and the $40 fine were just a joke, but he’s not laughing now. He’s working a desk job in a remote village for “inappropriate behavior and defaming the police force.”

Doctors in northern Thailand say they removed three dozen maggots from a woman’s nose just in time – because they were eating their way toward her brain.
The nauseating discovery was made after the 38-year-old pig farmer complained of excruciating pain in her left cheek.
“Probably while she was sleeping, a fly went up her nose and laid its eggs, which then hatched into larvae. The maggots had eaten so much of her nasal tissue that some of her cartilage was exposed,” said Dr. Tawee Thanuparprangsan.

A boxer’s wife watching her husband’s title bout jumped into the ring and started beating up the referee.
Cops say ref Norberto Polimeno had halted the title fight in Sao Paolo, Brazil, between Marcos Duarte and Emanuel Davi to save Duarte from being hurt, but Duarte’s wife, Luciana, didn’t agree with the decision and pounced.
“If she likes to fight so much, maybe she should take up boxing herself,” a police spokesman said.
