Good grief – somebody stole Charlie Brown!

A 6-foot, 300-pound statue of the lovable “Peanuts” character was taken from Michele’s Restaurant in Santa Rosa, Calif., where it stood in tribute to one-time resident Charles Schulz, who created the legendary comic strip,

“I can’t believe it. It’s just wrong. It’s Charlie Brown,” lamented eatery owner Bob Forsyth, who’s offering a $2,500 reward for the statue’s return.

Lets hope they get Snoopy on the culprit’s trail.

So much for “something blue.”

Two giant toads dressed in bright-red clothes were wed in a traditional Hindu ceremony in India by villagers hoping to appease the rain gods and end a dry spell.

Some 400 people in Khochakandar cheered as women put streaks of vermilion on the female toad’s head while a band played music and priests legalized the marriage to the chanting of hymns.

Urine big trouble now, kid.

An Indian temple fined the parents of a baby who urinated on his mother while she was praying.

But the government told the Thrissur Temple in Kerala to refund the $45 penalty, saying the baby couldn’t be expected to control his bladder.

Priests were so freaked out by the baby pee, they held a special ceremony to cleanse the temple.
