Catalan authorities said women should have the right to go topless at public swimming pools, noted The Telegraph.

Twin sisters have boys with twin brothers

Identical twin sisters have married identical twin husbands and now both couples have had a son.

Their one-year-old toddlers are known as “quaternary twins”.

A zookeeper in Thailand has dressed as an ostrich and run amok in the zoo, reported The Guardian. The staff member was taking part in a training drill designed to ensure the animal was unable to escape its enclosure. The Chiang Mai Zoo director, Wuttichai Muangman, revealed the “wild animal management plan” which simulated various emergency situations including an ostrich falling out of its nest. The man was eventually captured and escorted by three fellow staff members, including one man holding a giant fishing net.
