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.

A BARMY motorist has been banned by police after converting a beer crate into a mini quad bike.

The micro machine was given its last orders after Wolfi Maier, 24, tried to outrun cops on the booze machine in Dautphetal, Germany.

The biker said he had only just finished the vehicle and claimed it was on the way to a test drive at a private racing track.

“It looked good but it was not licensed to travel on the road – so we confiscated it,” one officer said.

“The vehicle featured a tuned-up engine that normally only goes about 15mph but this was much quicker.”

He added: “It would certainly make drink driving more risky.”

Police told the Austrian Times the vehicle could yet be returned if the owner promised not to use it on the public roads again.

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.

PADDED car parks are being introduced at shopping centres across China in a desperate bid to cope with the menace of women drivers.

Dozens of centres  in the north of the country now feature sections with wider spaces and colour coded walls to make them easier for women to spot.

The purple and pink colour scheme is also supposed to ‘ease the anxiety’ women feel when trying to reverse into a parking space.

And even the pillars are padded with foam to soften the impact of shunts.

Wang Zheng, boss of one of the shopping centres in Hebei, said: ”There is a scientific basis for all this.

“Women have a poorer sense of distance when they are locked inside a small space.

“That is why female drivers often bump the front and back of their cars.

“There is also a 15 per cent greater chance that a woman will drive her car door into another car when she opens it.”

He told the Austrian Times: “Each parking space is three metres wide, much larger than normal parking spaces and there is more CCTV to help women feel safer.”
