Stranger News: Church angry at German Men taking the piss

ALSO IN THE NEWS: CHURCH ANGRY AT GERMAN MEN TAKING THE PISS

Ulm Minster, in Germany, which has the world's largest church tower, is having a problem with men spending a penny on the church.

 

The urine is destroying the stone base and the fear is that the church may collapse in the future if men continue to syphon the python on the structure.

 

As a punishment for blokes taking a leak the Pee-Police have doubled the fine for those caught to 100 euros.

 

However it seems to have made little difference.

 

Michael Hilbert, head of the department that maintains the building, and a semi-professional peepeeping Tom, said, "I've been keeping an eye on it for half a year now and, once again, it's coated with urine and vomit."

Stranger News: Brides banned from dancing at their own weddings

Also in the news: Some of the Stranger News stories

Brides banned from dancing at their own weddings.

 

They are also banned from cutting the wedding cake with their new husband.

 

The Mayor of Grozny, in the Russian republic of Chechnya, banned cake cutting and any indecent dance moves at Chechen weddings.

 

The bans on cake cutting and indecent dance moves, as well as showing up drunk and being dressed in a way "that doesn't conform with the Chechen mentality" are an attempt by the Mayor to "Safeguard the spiritual and moral development" of young Chechens from what it believes are increasingly Western influences.

 

Whilst dancing, partners must be held at arms length. And under no circumstances should the bride be allowed to dance.

 

All Weddings in Chechnya will be observed by officials who will immediately put a stop to any inappropriate behaviour they witness.

 

Acting Minister of Culture, Khozh Baudi Daayev, said, "Our special working groups will stop proceedings if they see clothing or dance moves deemed alien to our national customs and traditions."

 

The Morality Police, as local media have dubbed them, will stop any proceedings.

 

President Ramzan Kadyrov has condemned "Western cultural imports."

 

These include: drinking alcohol, the bride and groom cutting their wedding cake together, wearing of skimpy clothing, celebratory gunfire, and spontaneous dancing.

 

There are mixed reactions to the Morality Police monitoring weddings in Grozny.

 

One local resident said: "The authorities are trying to control the public as much as possible. What next, are they going to monitor funerals?"

 

Another commented: "They are right to do this. Traditional weddings often turn into discos."

Chinese city inundated with clean butts

Also in the news (a glance at some stranger news stories):

 

Butts, there are too many butts.

 

One Chineses city has had to stop offering tissues for butts because of too many butts.

 

In Shengzhou, Zhejuang Province, China, people were encoured to collect discarded cigarette butts from the streets and hand them in for a reward of a pack of tissues.

 

They were rewarded with a pack of tissues for every 50 cigarette butts they collected and handed in.

 

It proved popular. Way too popular.

There were butts everywhere. However, not a lot of dirty butts. And you only get tissues for dirty butts.

They were inundated with butts. Almost five million of them. But the authorities cried foul play as the butts didn't seem to be dirty enough.

They believed people were shipping the butts from out of the city as they were just too clean to have been picked up from the streets.

One old lady had over 9,000 butts. Probably from her own personal supply. She smoked a lot. Reminds me of my grandmother. That'd be about a week's supply.
