TAXIDERMISTS tend to react a little differently to regular citizens when discovering a dead animal.
"What could I turn that into?" is likely one of the first thoughts to pass through their minds.
One New Zealand artist who found a dead cat decided to repurpose the body as a 'one-off, glamour puss' purse.
The finished product (pictured below) polarised opinions online when it was posted for sale on the online marketplace TradeMe for NZ$1,400.
The creator said the bag was a perfect expression of her "desire to engineer the surreal, particularly using feral and domestic felines".
It reportedly sold for NZ$400.
A ROYAL mint worker in Canada managed to smuggle $180,000 worth of gold out of his workplace by secreting it up his backside.
Butt smuggler, Leston Lawrence, is now facing charges including theft, laundering the proceeds of crime, possession of stolen property and breach of trust.
He is accused of sneaking out the "cookie-sized" nuggets of gold along with gold coins between Nov 2014 and Mar 2015 (we're pleased to know it wasn't all in one go).
He would then allegedly sell the gold (hopefully after giving it a good wash) to a local gold buyer before depositing the cheques.
It a the bank teller who raised initial suspicions.
