Now that it is a new year, it is time to look back at the most important news events of last year. Nah! Let’s forget about them and look at the oddest news of 2007:

  1. A German man who shared an apartment with his mother left her in her favorite armchair in the apartment after she died… for two years.
  2. Because of the bad smell in another German apartment, Police broke in expecting to find a corpse. Instead they found a man with very smelly feet.
  3. A Croatian man got on a tram and died. And no one noticed for six hours as he rode around the city of Zagreb.
  4. Mark McGowan, a British artist, ate meatballs made from a dog (A Corgi) that died from natural causes. McGowan claimed his meal was a protest against animal cruelty. He also said the Corgi tasted terrible.
  5. A man in Zimbabwe stole a bus because he needed to get to the government office so he could get his driving license.
  6. A German bus driver threw a woman off his bus because her cleavage was distracting him from driving.
  7. A 60 year old German man (why do these things seem to happen in Germany) stripped off all his clothes in court during his appeal for a previous conviction for… flashing.
  8. 25 years ago a woman in Thailand got on the wrong bus, got lost, and ended up living in the streets. But 2007 was a good year for her as she finally was reunited with her family.
