babyhitler The British Secret Service MI5 called in the help of a certain German astrologist during the Second World War. The astrologist was used in the battle against Hitler. This was made public today by the British National Archive.

The German astrologist went by the name of De Wohl. He came to Britain in 1935 and had little trouble to convince the British Intelligence community that Hitler would not take any military decision without consulting his personal astrologist. Hitler indeed had a personal astrologist. This was Ernest Kraft, a Swiss national.

De Wohl told MI5 he could find out what Kraft’s predictions would be. This way De Wohl supplied the British with horoscopes from 1940 until 1943.  These horoscopes were then used to predict Hitler’s military strategies.

Latvia The rabbit of Latvian president Valdis Zatlers is dead. Lisis, as the bunny was called, was a  famous celebrity in Latvia. Lisis came to fame after president Zatler had told the press that he viewed his rabbit a full member of the presidential family.

It is speculated that Lisis was suffering from depressions after the family moved to the presidential palace last year. He longed back to his old home.

Although the Zatlers allowed Lisis to roam free around the palace, the little animal saw his new home as a golden cage.

The First Rabbit was never really able to cope with his celebrity status.

Cemetery burial plot is lottery grand prize

February 23, 2008 By: Bolkie Category: funny, odd, politics, sad, weird No Comments →

 

italy_flag In the Italian town of Marano, close to Napels, a very interesting lottery is being  organized. First prize is a burial spot on the local cemetery.

The town’s cemetery is completely full at the moment. That is why an emergency cemetery is being built in Marano. Though that new graveyard will only have enough spaces for 48 people.

The city administration is concerned that people might be starting to bribe city officials, as to obtain an exclusive resting place.

This made them decide to start the  rather odd lottery, of which the winner at least gets buried properly.

Though this is still a temporary solution. Work has begun on a much larger cemetery. The new graveyard will have space for over 1.000 burial spots.

The religious police, or Muttawa, are considered to be the guardians of the ultraconservative Sharia laws. If you do the crime, these guys make sure you do the time.  One of their most demanding tasks is to keep the male population strictly separated from the female population, as demanded by law.
