Rescuers broke the commode and some of the piping and, after ten minutes, were able to successfully extricate the man's arm: Flush hour: Chinese man gets arm stuck in toilet trying to retrieve cell phone

In West Palm Beach, CA a large camel, part of a Christmas pageant rehearsal at a local church, fell on a handful of attendees sitting in the pews. The animal's assigned handler attributed "Lula Bell's" mishap to stage fright as it was the first time the animal had appeared in front of a large group of people. No one, including the camel, was injured in the incident: Hump day: 1000 lb camel falls onto church go'ers at Christmas pageant rehearsal |

A Florida wildlife rescue center owner named James Jablon is currently halfway through his one month long stunt which he hopes raises $150,000 for his facility, which takes in various species of unwanted exotic and wild animals. And what exactly is the stunt? Living inside a cage with two fully grown lions. Jablon has a tiny microphone and video camera mounted to himself so those outside the cage and communicate with him and see a real time "streaming" video of sorts of what goes on inside the cage. The rescue center owner has arranged a corner of the cage for himself, replete with chair, small table, a laptop computer and sleeping bag. For sanitation and personal hygiene Jablon uses a miniature spigot(water) and portable toilet. The facility owner has said he can scale an adjacent tree in case the lions become belligerent. Jablon's stunt, meant as a way to draw attention to the financial struggles of these types of animal rescue centers across the United States, has drawn, not surprisingly, widespread condemnation from animal rights groups and owners of other animal rescue sanctuaries. There has been no word on exactly how much money has been raised thus far. Read more: Kitty pride: FLA animal rescue center owner lives in cage for a month with two lions

A 48 year old man is recovering from minor wounds to his buttocks after being the victim of what authorities are calling an April Fool's prank. The man sat down on a toilet seat inside a bathroom located inside an Elkton(Maryland) Walmart store which had been covered in a colorless glue. Consequently the man found himself stuck to the toilet seat and was unable to stand up. Police were called and the man was eventually freed from his predicament. Police are looking for the suspect and say the person could face second degree assault charges if found: http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/04/06/maryland.toilet.prank/index.html?hpt=T2 |

In Kirkland, Washington a state trooper became suspicious of a driver's sudden and erratic exit from an HOV(high occupancy vehicle) lane onto a local interstate. The trooper pulled the driver over, expecting to see at least two people in the vehicle(the driver and a passenger) as HOV lanes are only to be used, legally anyway, by those driving their vehicle with at least one other occupant. The state trooper discovered that the driver was in fact driving alone and had another "occupant" in the vehicle which was stuffed clothes made to resemble a person strapped into a seat belt.

In Australia a horse veered off course and leaped over a fence into a group of fifty seated fans at a steeplechase, sending several people to the hospital. Among the injured was a young girl with a broken collarbone and an elderly woman who was admitted for x-rays to her hip and pelvis. Local police and the authority in charge of the steeplechase facility and grounds are investigating the incident to determine if any additional safety measures or changes to current safety regulations are warranted after this incident: Bucking the trend: horse leaps into group of fans at Australia steeplechase |

The annual San Fermin festival began today in Pamplona, Spain and one of the festival's major attractions is the "running of the bulls" in which hundreds of people, locals, tourists and others on vacation, run down a 900+ yard street along with large steers and bulls. There have been, unfortunately, many injuries and fatalities from this particular event in the past with numerous runners, many inebriated or unfamiliar with the notoriously unpredictable movements of the bulls, gored to death or trampled by these large animals which generally weigh well over a thousand lbs. Today's event came off without any injuries. Read more: Steer clear: San Fermin festival's "running of the bulls" begins |

Bulls remain the featured attraction for many festivals in Spain, including the famous San Fermin festival and it's "running of the bulls". Despite the popularity of this as well as bull fighting in Spain the fact is severe injuries, even fatalities occasionally occur. The latest fatality involves a man recently gored to death by an 1100 lb bull named "Raton"(that's 'mouse' in Spanish). This particular bull which, like others of its kind often exceeds half a ton in weight, has also killed two others in the last ten years: Point taken: 1100 lb bull claims its third victim in ten years |

An Australian woman named Janet Karson is recovering from injuries sustained after she was attacked by a male kangaroo in a Perth, Australia suburb. Karson was walking her dogs when the canines began barking and harassing a nearby kangaroo. The kangaroo, apparently aggravated by the dogs' behavior, first attacked the woman's dogs and then turned its aggression on her. Eventually the kangaroo ceased its attack although the victim doesn't know why. In Australia kangaroo attacks on humans are something of a rarity but they happen from time time. Adult male kangaroos can grow as tall as six feet and weigh in excess of two hundred pounds, the animals possessing powerful hind legs and clawed hands: Kicking it: kangaroo attacks Australian woman Cell phone users in Britain may be experiencing crappy reception on their cell phones literally for a reason: a recent study done in the U.K. has concluded that as many as one in six cell phones are likely contaminated with traces of fecal matter as a result of people not washing their hands after using the facilities to defecate.

Wayne Polk of Xenia, Ohio recently got in his car and left for Cleveland, Ohio on a business trip. After driving two hundred miles he stopped at a rest stop in Medina(OH) after noticing an odd smell coming from his car. Polk lifted up the hood of his parked car and discovered a cat hiding near the engine block. The cat presumably made the entire trip under the hood of the man's car. An Ohio state trooper who had pulled up to check on Polk called a local SPCA. The SPCA rep took the cat to a veterinarian. Some minor surgery has been scheduled to remove some of the burned fur and dead tissue on the cats' back side. The vet says the cat will make a full recovery: Out of the bag: cat survives 200 mile trip under hood of Ohio man's car

In Maysville, Georgia 72 year old farmer Raymond Parks is recovering from injuries he suffered after being attacked by one of his cows. Turns out the 900 lb animal was rabid. Parks told reporters the huge cow head butted him and pushed him backwards into a barb wire fence. The farmer managed to retrieve a shotgun and fired off three blasts of buckshot into the rabid bovine, the animal walking away and laying down. A veterinarian eventually put the animal down permanently after it was confirmed the cow had rabies. Parks, who suffered a gash to his forehead and a couple of broken ribs, has been ordered by local county health officials to keep numerous other animals on his farm under quarantine for six months and monitor them for signs of rabies, a condition which is ironically a rarity among cattle: Cattle call: 900 lb rabid cow attacks Georgia farmer

An Oregon farmer appears to have been eaten by his own hogs. Authorities found only dentures and a few remains of 69 year old Terry Garner after they went looking for the missing farmer in Coquille, OR. Garner's dentures and remains were found in a hog pen on his farm. Police, while open to the possibility of foul play, believe Garner may have been knocked down by the swine or suffered a heart attack, fallen and then was presumably attacked by the hungry hogs. Domestic hogs are not typically aggressive but will bite if provoked: Ham handed: Oregon farmer eaten by his own hogs
