IF IT'S true that smoking can stunt your growth, then the Portuguese village of Vale de Salgueiro may be resigning itself to a very petite future by encouraging its children to light up and smoke.
The spate of juvenile smoking is in aid of the annual Epiphany celebration, ironically an event aimed at celebrating the concept of 'life', marking the Christian Epiphany & winter solstice.
The strange practice has been passed down for centuries for the cultural celebration, however it remains unclear why jamming a durry in the mouth of a child is required to dance the night away?
Drink driving can be seriously hazardous to your health, but it makes it even worse if you find yourself driving a military tank.
A Russian man was arrested recently after he stole an armoured vehicle and crashed it through the front wall of a supermarket.
The man, who was also found in possession of a bottle of wine, said he stole the tank because he was "bored", puzzling the police and witnesses at the scene.
