My local paper's section on deaths, births and what-not on the day of the paper's publication contains the oddest of people.
Here are a few:
On this day:
Adolf Hitler born - German politician, famous for World War Two
Joseph Fritzl - Famous for sexual abuse and kidnapping for many years

Is this the Evening Star? I love their billboard headlines, they always make me laugh. They are getting more and more Daily Mail each and every day.

It is indeed. They are getting ridiculous, they had an article in there a few weeks ago about how some cranes by the waterfront looked liked dinosaurs. But in my opinion, only if you squinted, were drunk and upside down.

Not as baffling as most on here, but I love the fact that Newcastle City Council felt the need to swap a Christmas tree "secretly", "under cover of darkness".

From the Manchester Evening News
A prank caller who rang police claiming Coronation Street's tram explosion was a real-life disaster is being hunted by cops.
The hoax call - lasting nearly five minutes - was made after Monday night's episode of the soap, then posted on the internet.
The called, who identified himself 'James Martin', rang police control and said: "There's been a big smash.
"A tram's come over the top of the thing and smashed down on to the nightclub and shops.
“Little blonde Max is missing... I know Rita is stuck in the shop.”
