Give Us the Cock (Cameroon) Have you ever refused to take a gift because you think it is uncalled for? Many Cameroonians would say no. Reason: they are just too ready to receive anything that comes for free; even if they do not need it.

That is why members of a certain delegation that recently travelled to a rural area were shocked when a member of the group turned down a gift offered by one of the local inhabitants. And what gift! A big cock.

Most members of the delegation could not hold back their disappointment as they drove from the little village. But, to the surprise of many, on arrival in Yaounde, the rejected cock was in the back booth of one of the cars? Don't ask me how it found itself there.

Woman Kills 3 in Hellish Car Crash (Bulgaria) Sofia Appellate Court decided Tuesday to release on BGN 5,000 bail the 36-year-old Zhivka Ilieva, who caused a hellish crash under the influence of alcohol. The judges decided the defendant is not likely to hide or impede the investigation process. Besides she was suffering from neurasthenia and had to look after her seriously ill mother.

Zhivka Ilieva caused the hellish accident after loosing control over her car, it flied over a metal fence on the road and fall on the top of another vehicle, which was moving in the other lane.

The 16-year-old son of the drunk woman, who was travelling on the seat next to his mother, had his arm broken and slight injuries throughout his body.
