A generous Irish fundraiser has launched an intriguing bid to help support a teenager with cancer by hitchhiking across Scotland - while carrying a microwave oven.
Diarmuid McCleary said he hopes to raise 2,000 to help 14-year-old Robyn Smyth, who is suffering from neuroblastoma.
McCleary (pictured) is running a GoFundMe campaign seeking support for the stunt under the simple title "Microwave Across Scotland," saying the trip will "be a long trek across the land relying on the kindness of strangers".
He said he was inspired to carry the appliance after hearing about the 1990s feat of a man who travelled around Ireland with a refrigerator.
Fruit delivered to a prison in Houston, USA last week came with some extra not-so-goodness, after authorities found almost $18m worth of cocaine hidden inside the boxes.
A Facebook post by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice confirms the drugs were found in two pallets of bananas which had been donated because they were too ripe to sell through retailers.
A corrections officer found a "white powdery substance" under the pallets, with customs workers eventually uncovering 540 packages of cocaine in the fruit.
