I don't usually post about new stories... but this one just made me sit back and think... what? And 'What?' on so many levels too. (click here for the story)

I've heard some strange stories in my life... but this one is really getting up there. Really.

A few thoughts on the article:

"A HUNGRY Muslim who tried to eat a swan while fasting during the Islamic festival of Ramadan was today given a two-month jail sentence."

Ok... strange. You have my attention... I would have thought there would be a McDonalds around somewhere. Cheeseburgers are better than Swans.

"Killing swans is illegal in the UK - as they are the property of the monarch."

Dude... that Queen chick must be loaded. EVERY swan in the UK belongs to the Queen? I wonder if there is an illegal swan trade over there...

"It is unclear whether Miah bit through the swan's neck or stabbed it with a knife, Llandudno Magistrates Court heard"

Tut Tut... table manners my friend.

"The court heard Miah, from Llandudno, had white feathers stuck in his beard and blood on his shirt."

Yeah... not really the most innocent way to dress is it...

"Jim Neary, prosecuting, said that when interviewed Miah said: "I was hungry, I had to eat the swan so I killed it, I stabbed it. I did nothing wrong, it was just a bird, I needed to eat."

You had to eat the swan? Hey, I hear you... When I go for a walk at night, and see cats, dogs and possums, I feel the urge to eat them too... but I control myself. Self control dude.

"The officers told him the swan was the property of the Queen and he replied, 'I hate the Queen, I hate this country',"

I'm sure there are plenty of English fishermen that would lend you their boats.

A witness saw "what he believed to be the head of a swan falling out of the bag. He called the police."

Getting messy... Thats how I got caught... Someone saw the Horses head hanging out of my backpack, and straight away he knew I killed Pharlap.

And the saddest part of all this? I can't actually use the phrase "Only in America"...
