Flocks of peacocks are terrorizing villages across Britain in a desperate but futile search for mates. The lovelorn peacocks have descended on rural communities, chasing children and destroying vegetable patches in a vain search for peahens to mate with. Experts say that because the hens nest on the ground, they are being eaten by foxes, meaning that there are not enough ladies to go around. But peacocks are not known for their monogamous habits. Each male bird requires at least five hens to mate with.

Maria Vasilieva is delighted that new teeth have poked through as she loves ginger cookies, and they don't taste the same with false teeth. She is apparently the oldest person to grow new teeth, baffling doctors in the remote southern region of Tatarstan, and dentists elsewhere around the world. However they have suggested that she doesn't eat to many sweet biscuits as she might need fillings in years to come. The North American city of Seattle is known primarily for the fact that it rains there most of the year.
