Beware falling pensioner. In Hong Kong, a widow fell from a 27th floor window, landing on 51-year-old Chan Kwai-mui, killing both instantly. 

Part-time dog-walker, full-time dangerous driver Paul Railton has been fined after being caught walking his dog while driving. Railton held the leash through the car window while motoring slowly along a country lane. He admitted 'there was an element of laziness' to the act. The walking itself would've been made easier if his dog was Giant George, the world's biggest canine. The dog, over 7ft tall, would however prove problematic if you were to indulge in this kind of taboo activity.

Hilarious idiot of the day comes from Nuremberg, Germany where a nightclubber was detained after being caught attempting to snort drugs off a patrol car.

Hilarious idiot(s) of the day two come direct from John F.Kennedy Airport, New York, where an air-traffic controller allowed his child to direct airplanes for take-off and landing. According to transcripts a pilot complimented the child for doing an 'awesome job'. 

Finally a news story to warm the heart of any jaded gamer. Blind Zelda enthusiast Jordan Verner asked for help in finishing The Ocarina of Time game. What he received was a staggering 100,000 keystroke script, detailing the exact moves required to complete the game. The script took two years to complete, and came thanks to to Roy Williams and a troupe of dedicated Zelda fanatics.
