    CONTENT WARNING: NSFW, NSFL:

    A teenage boy stole his neighbours chicken, then raped and it died during the incident. Yes a chicken.

    The neighbour reported it. There were 2 eye witnesses. Medical examination of the chicken confirmed it.

    The boy was arrested, confessed and tried. At this point this was national news.

    In his defense the dude said, and I kid you not, the chicken was asking for it.

    This is one of those news stories that I think about from time to time and wonder what happened to that dude.

    Happened in like 2018 I wanna say.

    We have a historical site marker plaque on the spot where Elvis Presley jumped out of his limo to break up a fight and save a guy from an ass-kicking. Also, the official city bird is the plastic pink flamingo.

    About 10 years ago someone actually burned to death from static discharge at a gas pump like 2 miles down the road from my house. It's extremely rare, but it does happen.

    In Berlin, in 2004, a letfist local newspaper Taz initiated a move to rename part of a street their office is located at in remembrance of Rudi-Dutschke. He was a prominent socialist activist in the 60s, even survived assassination but unfortunately died a couple of years later.

    Another newspaper, Axel-Springer has their headquarters on the same street. The same company did play significant role in dissing the student movement Rudi-Dutschke was part of and some believe they are indirectly responsible for the assassination.

    What ensued was a long legal battle, where the court had to decide whether the street could be renamed. Taz won the court case and in 2008 the street got its new name.

    In 2009, Taz installed a sculpture displaying well-known editors of Bild (owned by Axel Springer), the most sold tabloid in Europe. Their chief editor Kai Diekmann (sic) sports an oversized dick that goes up to the roof of the building. Of course Bild tried to sue, but they lost and the sculpture is there to be enjoyed to this day.

    In Germany, you can have fun, but it must be blessed by the court.
