for.

  2. Experts have seen a sharp rise in the number of divorces in which Facebook pages were used as evidence of 'unreasonable behaviour', as suspicious people now regularly use the site

to check up on their spouses. Divorces involving social networking sites are no longer eyecatching events as they have become so commonplace. Lawyers suggested last year that Facebook flirting could be involved in as many as a fifth of divorces.

  1. An elderly couple have had a huge cannabis plant seized by police after buying it at a car boot sale. Police said the plant seized was the biggest they had seen. The couple, who were simply looking for a pot plant at the boot sale, were shocked to find that the shrub they had cultivated was a giant cannabis plant, which had taken over a large area of their suburban garden. It is unclear whether or not the pair will be charged over the cannabis plant.
  2. An innovative dentist hopes to ease his patients' surgery fears after creating a musical drill to help keep their mind off the intrusive instrument. He modified a conventional dentist drill to play music via an MP3 player instead of the custom buzzing sound usually associated with a dentist surgery. He hopes to make those dreaded trips to the dentist slightly more bearable by using this tool to lighten the mood.
  3. A runaway ostrich provoked a rush hour police chase after escaping from its Florida home in a mating season moment of madness. Amorous four-year-old bird Taco jumped over a garden fence trying to find a female companion before running about aimlessly onto a busy motorway. The feathered fugitive approached several cars and even a man on a scooter, causing traffic jams during its early morning breakout.
