French Spiderman Arrested After Climbing 57 Stories

If Spiderman was real, he'd be proud of this. Alain Robert, aka the French "Spiderman", has crawled his way up structures in cities from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, to New York, using just his bare hands and a bag of chalk dust. His last attempt in Sydney where he climbed 57 stories ended in a total buzzkill for the poor guy.

 Police arrested the man and "will be prosecuting him to the full extent of the law."

 I honestly think they should be more lenient with the guy, I mean you don't find people who can do that everyday. However, I also think a system should be made where special permission can be granted to him at special times. Businesses would love this too. ;)

Remember Paul the Octopus? Meet Dirty Harry, a Crocodile!

 I remember Paul the Octopus very well indeed, and it wasn't a particularly good memory, especially since I was cheering for both Germany and the Netherlands. Well, boys and girls, there's a new guy in the game, meet Dirty Harry.

Yeah, it's a croc. He previously correctly picked Spain as the winner of the World Cup, and now he's predicting the winner of the Australian Prime Minister elections!

 Damn, what a nasty way to die. During a storm, one man headed to a storm shelter.

Only to be crushed after the building collapsed due to the increasing weight of pigeon poo. Poor guy.
