Not mine, says Florida man of cocaine found in buttocks
A Florida man arrested with a bag of cocaine in his buttocks has denied that the drugs are his. Deputy Sean Cappiello says that after he pulled Raymond Roberts over for speeding, he found two plastic bags wedged between his buttocks, one containing “a green leafy substance,” the other containing 27 pieces of crack cocaine. Under questioning, Roberts drew a sharp distinction between the substances, allegedly admitting that he’d hidden the marijuana there, but insisting that “the white stuff is not mine.”

Wang Xihai's strong-willed pig
A Chinese pig born without its back legs has learned to walk by standing up on its forelegs. Local villagers in Henan province have named the walking marvel Zhu Jianqiang, for “strong-willed pig.” The pig’s owner, Wang Xihai, says he trained it “a little each day” by holding up its tail while it walked on its forelegs, until the pig mastered the trick of walking upside down. “A circus offered me a lot of money for her,” says Wang, “but I won’t sell no matter what they offer.”
