  This brand new collection of strange news stories covers a year of hilarious-but-true gems from around the world. In this new volume of stories from the inexplicable to the downright ridiculous, the snippets are again grouped by theme (Sex, Animals, Sports, Politics etc.) and cover such tales as: a man who faked being deaf and dumb for seven years because his wife was a nag; zookeepers who were sacked for eating the animals; a clairvoyant telling the future by feeling his clients' bottoms; a Turkish woman who kept a herd of cows in her apartment; a footballer transferred for his weight in prawns; and a Canadian man arrested for not eating an iced bun. This is real life - but not as you'd expect. Prepare to be baffled.

  From the slightly worrying to the barely believable, Another Weird Year 3 is the book that no one who is tired of the drudgery of everyday front page news can afford to be without. The stories are once more grouped by theme (Sex, Animals, Lawyers etc.) and include: The policeman who took 36 years to make his first arrest; a man who turned arsonist to avoid sex with his wife; and the birds who felt that migrating south under their own steam was too much effort by half and decided to go by car instead. It's all true - but you may find you're pinching yourself to believe it.
