A little boy was playing in front of his house when he saw a farmer driving along with a load of fertilizer.
Boy: What've you got in your truck?
Farmer: Fertilizer.
Boy: What are you going to do with it?
Farmer: Put it on strawberries.
Boy: You ought to live here. We put sugar and cream on ours.

A boy aged eight tied the knot with a 61-year-old woman in Tshwane, South Africa. Schoolboy Sanele Masilele and mum-of-five Helen Shabangu got married to please the boy's dead ancestors.

Latest on rapist, Bitti Mohanty, who jumped parole and lived incognito for 6 long years, and who has now been arrested in Kerala... (News source: Mumbai Mirror and ToI 10/3/13)
His father, Bidya Bhushan Mohanty, a former Odisha DG of police: "I'm not sure if the man arrested from Kerala is actually my son. I have seen the picture of the arrested youth, but he has no resemblance with my son".
(Speaks volume of police top dog he was… How can an ex-DIG of police ever even imagine that a convict who has jumped his parole and living under a false identity would retain his original looks?)
His family members and several Odissa cops believe that the case had several holes and suspect that he was convicted on account of pressure from the medium.
(Certainly this doesn't redound to the credit of the police force as they, themselves very much part of the law-enforcement and justice-delivery system, do not have much faith in the existing system)
