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.
It is lonely at the top, Lisis

A desperate yell from her husband made 28-year-old Yvonne Sullivan wake up from a coma. It was just in time, because doctors were about to shut down her life support.
Mrs. Sullivan fell into a coma during child delivery. Unfortunately the baby did not survive and this shock proved too hard for her to cope with.
She was comatose for two long weeks. All this time, the husband, Dominic, grew more desperate. Then doctors told her husband they had given up hope and they were planning to switch off the life support.
This made Dominic, a trucker, launch one last attempt to wake her up. He started yelling: “You start fighting, don’t you dare give up on me now. I’ve had enough, stop mucking around and start breathing. Come back to me!”
After a couple of hours Yvonne miraculously opened her eyes.
In an interview Mrs. Sullivan told what had happened. ” I remember my husband begging me to wake up. This gave me the courage to fight again. “

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.
Winner takes all

Trying to pick up chicks in religious Saudi Arabia is a Huge Mistake.
The religious police in the Muslim nation has arrested 57 young men who had flirted with girls in a Mall in the holy city of Mecca.
A Saudi newspaper reported this today.
Among other things, the culprits are guilty of ” wearing improper clothing, dancing and playing loud music.” Cannot have people dancing in a mall, now can we?
This can be read in a statement by powerful Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
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.
