Manhole cover museum

If you're interested in manhole covers the museum will provide you with hours of entertainment

THIS is the most boring museum in the history of the world - unless you’re inexplicably interested in manhole covers.

The International Manhole Cover Museum has opened in Farrara, Italy to widespread public disinterest. 
 
Creator Stefano Bottoni claims the manhole is an underrated art form that should be celebrated.  
 
Bottoni, who studied at the Academy of Arts in Bologna, said: “Manholes are not often regarded as artistic creations yet they are rich in tradition, culture and history.”
 
The museum has an enormous collection of manhole covers from all over the world including Amsterdam, Havana, Helsinki, Prague, Rome, Bucharest, Sarajevo and Vienna.
  
Bottoni is hoping to get his first manhole cover from the UK this year, and has appealed for anybody with access to British manhole covers to get in touch.

World Cup weirdo: This sexy model will pay you £100-a-day to watch the football from South Africa with her

A WORLD CUP mad model has offered to pay a male fan £100-a-day to watch the football with her – and explain what’s going on.

Pretty Daiyu Fang, from Beijing, China, has been turned down by all her girlfriends and has now placed an internet ad for a companion to watch the whole tournament with her.

“I have money but football isn’t very popular in China and people are too busy working,” explained Daiyu – who is determined to see every game beamed from South Africa.

“My only rules are I get to keep the remote control and there is absolutely no kissing no matter how exciting it gets on the pitch,” she told the Austrian Times.

It looks like someone is going to need a new mane sewer after this fully grown horse fell through a manhole cover in a freak accident.

Charley – a 12-year-old riding horse – saddled firefighters with a headache when the drain cover gave way after he returned from a morning canter with his owner Boris Fretz, 27, in Hewingsen, Germany.

Charlie was so excited by his time in the sewer he needed a lie down to recover

Winching gear lifted the 16 hand high beast free from the gully after two hours of being calmed by vets and animal lovers.

“Amazingly Charley was exhausted and filthy but absolutely fine after some hay and a good clean,” one firefighter told the Austrian Times.

This statue of a policeman about to pull his gun was stolen less than 48 hours after being installed as an anti-crime measure

THIEVES walked off with this life-sized statue of a policeman used to deter crooks at a shopping centre in Limburg, Germany.

The model – showing an officer about to pull his gun – was supposed to make thieves think twice before chancing their arm.
 
But less than 48 hours after it was installed crooks copped the 80lb statue as a trophy to show off their skills, say police.
 
“They clearly weren’t fooled by it.
 
“We’ve got a real one down there now,” one officer told the Austrian Times.
 

 

 

Meet the five-year-old who can beat you at cards…without even using his hands

CARD TRICKS: The boy can beat adults using just his feet (Europics.at)

POKER players are used to keeping their cards close to their chest.

But this five-year-old prefers to keep them somewhere else…between his toes!

Little Xiao Tao has become a dab hand at snap, even though he has to use his feet to play.

The five-year-old lad, from Hangzhou, eastern China, baffled medics when he was born with tightly clenched hands and feet.

Now surgeons at the Tong De Hospital are restoring the damaged digits through a series of operations.

Tao has already learned to use his feet to play, eat with chopsticks, and comb his hair and now doctors say his hands will recover too.

“He is a clever boy and learning to use his new skills fast,” proud mum Xiao Wu, 26, told the Austrian Times.

Adolf Hitler loved rock music: Nightclub owners arrested in Nazi row

NIGHTCLUB bosses have been arrested under anti-fascist laws for using pictures of Adolf Hitler to promote their bar.

Sklot rock club in Warsaw, Poland, doctored a picture of the Nazi leader wearing sunglasses above a Third Reich eagle for posters plugging the club’s party nights.

Now the owners are facing two years in prison for promoting fascism, strictly illegal in Poland which was occupied by German troops in World War II.

“The content of this poster which uses images to promote fascism is a crime,” said Renata Mazur from Warsaw’s prosecutor’s office.

But club bosses say the row is just a storm in a tea cup.

“The idea is that Hitler isn’t happy with the condition of Warsaw clubs so he plans to invade and make them better,” club spokesman Kalina Koslinska told the Austrian Times.

“It’s just a bit of fun.”

SEXY farmers daughters in Austria have stripped off for a sizzling calendar.

The hot babes wanted to prove that life on the farm was fun.

And it’s worked – the x-rated steamy scenes of country life are moo-ving off the shelves as fast as they can print them.

The models – all daughters of working farmers – say they wanted to show that things are changing down on the farm.

“We’re not as unsophisticated as people seem to think.

“It’s about time people saw that all that nature has an effect on young people,” one gushed to the

Austrian Times.
