Onlookers in an Irish town found themselves rubbing their eyes
after witnessing a police car chasing down a flying saucer through the streets.
The strange vehicle was also spotted zooming through a
children's playground in Gorey, County Wexford. After a low-speed pursuit,
witnesses saw police pull the craft over, to discover a very worldly
explanation. The flying saucer was, in fact, the work of local artist Ali
Kemal Ali, who created the unique piece for a youth and arts festival.

Conservationists in Tanzania are using an
unorthodox way of keeping elephants from wandering into human settlements - by
throwing condoms filled with chili powder at them.
Chili powder mixed with soil is packed with
a firecracker into a condom; its end is twisted shut with just the fuse
exposed. When lit, the condom bursts open with a bang, spraying a fine dust of
chili powder into the air. One whiff is usually enough to send an elephant the
other way.
