MAN DIES FROM PET EMISSIONS
(Netherlands) - Police suspect that a man found dead in his home was poisoned by ammonia gas from the excrement of his pet parrots and ferrets that had been badly cared for. The man reported feeling unwell early in the morning in his house in the town of Tegelen in North Limburg. An ambulance reached his home by 7:00 a.m., but he was already dead. A postmortem is to be carried out on his body to confirm the cause of death. A spokesman said it appeared the victim had not cared for his parrots and ferrets well and ambulance workers were struck by a \"penetrating odor\" when they entered the house. It is suspected the animals\' excrement was allowed to accumulate in the building over a long period of time and that it began releasing toxic amounts of ammonia. Normally, police seal off a property where a person dies in suspicious circumstances, but in this case, the windows and doors were opened to clear the ammonia vapors. Locals reported the parrots\' screeching was heard all around the town.
BURGLARS GO BACK TO ASK FOR RECEIPTS
(Brazil) - Three burglars were arrested in Brazil after they returned to a house and asked for the receipts for the goods they had stolen. The young thieves told the owners of the house in Belo Horizonte that they were struggling to sell the stereo, TV and mobile phones because they didn\'t have the original receipts. A police spokesman said, \"We have never seen anything so stupid. It was obvious that when they rang the bell the owner of the house would call us straight away and they were all arrested. They are all underage and I think they were just really naive and thought they would get away with going back.\"
VET AWED BY FAMILY\'S BUNNY BREEDING CLAIM
(Czechoslovakia) - A Czech family say they\'ve bred a rabbit with three penises. The Samek family says two other rabbits they bred, but killed and ate, each had two penises. Lenka Samkova, 14, said, \"We went to see a vet and he was puzzled. He said he\'d never seen anything like this rabbit with three penises.\"
VOYEUR FALLS TO DEATH PEERING AT NAKED WOMAN\'S CORPSE
(China) - A voyeur fell to his death in southern China after climbing up the side of a building to get a better look at a woman\'s naked body. The woman was a prostitute, who leapt to her death from an apartment in Shenzhen after being held hostage. The man climbed up the building after a large crowd gathered around the body, the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily reported. His death set off rumors that the ghost of the woman had lured the man to his death to be her companion in the afterlife, the newspaper said. Two men have been arrested over her death.
