Bigfoot

Volvo Owner Can’t Toe The Line

A German court has ruled that Volvo has to pay compensation to a man who claimed his feet were too big to use the accelerator on his new car. Michael Herzog, who has size 12 feet, said the area around the accelerator of his new Volvo C70 coupe was too small. The judge agreed and said the dealer should give him five per cent off the price of his new car.

Sweet Nothings

Doughnuts Could Be Creature Comforts

Whether the mystery critter roaming northern Florida is an orangutan, a "baby Bigfoot" or something else, wildlife officials think it might have a bit of Homer Simpson in it. After a bear hunter said an animal that could be an orangutan stole jelly doughnuts from him, a wildlife investigator has tried to use sweet treats to lure the creature into the open in Baker County. There have been several sightings of what witnesses have described as a "big orange ball of fur," though officials have yet to confirm it's an orangutan. Fish and wildlife investigator Ken Holmes laid doughnuts at the base of a tree in hopes of catching the animal, but it eluded him.
