Hilarious Events - Recent ones as (well as a few funnier ones past)

I have this habit of checking the BBC's pages and those of several other news agencies each day. And I do find certain VERY amusing stuff on them.

Remember the actual fun is within the article, especially the comments that the reporters get from people on the scene or those involved. So read it through. I've included the summary from each page here, but please click on the links and take a look at the news pages.

Here's a few that might interest you:
