Strange, Weird News That We Never See

American news loves America. British news, however, loves everything. Mostly the Spice Girls and football, but having been a global empire for so long, the Brits are still interested in news the world over. Here's what you've been missing:

Rugby Player's Eye Bursts: A 34 year old man explains how he 'lost some of the jelly-like fluid' in his eye during a rugby match.

Man Stabs Himself to Avoid Work: A Denver video clerk stabs himself, falsely reports an assault, and later admits the wounds were self-inflicted so he could avoid work.

27 Foot Effigy of Pop Star To Be Burned: A large effigy of reality-TV star Katie "Jordan" Price (think of her as the British version of Kim Kardashian) will be burned tonight. All major papers are running this headline.

Fashion Week in Kazakhstan: No really. Fashion week in Kazakhstan.

Airline to Reduce Gas Emissions by Reducing Passenger's Gas
: Japan's Nippon airways believes it can save five tons of carbon emissions by having passengers relieve themselves before boarding the flight. The combined weight difference of full-bladdered passengers vice empty-bladdered passengers may be enough to save fuel and save the environment.
