A corporate exec has resigned from his job after being alleged to be the "poo jogger" of Brisbane, after his neighbours set up a a night vision camera to catch the defecator with his pants down.

Douglas Macintosh, 64, is alleged to have befouled a footpath outside an apartment block 30 times in a year. He was charged on 4 June with creating a public nuisance, which was then "downgraded to an infringement notice" resulting in a $378 fine, according to the Courier Mail.
 
Think we already covered this story earlier but the update is pretty bizarro as well:
More Americans in China say they’re victims of mysterious health attacks
One identified victim says the attacks were not isolated events—and the US knew.

Consulate General of the United States in Guangzhou.
More US diplomats, employees, and their families in China are being medically evaluated and evacuated amid growing accounts of mysterious episodes involving sound and pressure that appear linked to the development of mild traumatic brain injuries, according to reports by TheNew York Times.

Last month, the State Department revealed that one US employee at the US consulate in the city of Guangzhou, just northwest of Hong Kong, reported experiencing “subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure” and sustained a mild traumatic brain injury despite no evidence of a blow to the head. The episode drew eerie parallels to the mysterious “health attacks” experienced by diplomats at the US embassy in Cuba, which left 24 Americans with similar brain injuries.

That unidentified employee in Guangzhou was evacuated and sent for more medical testing in the US. The State Department, meanwhile, issued a health alert on May 23 for those remaining in China. Though the department suggested vigilance, it added that it was “not aware of any similar situations in China, either inside or outside of the diplomatic community,” suggesting that the episode may have been an isolated event so far.

But in an interview with the Times, Mark Lenzi, an American security engineering officer at the Guangzhou consulate, disputed that suggestion. “They knew full well it wasn’t [an isolated case],” he said.

Today is World Ocean Day! To celebrate, PETA has asked Mayor of Stockholm, Karin Wanngård, to maybe change a street name to something a bit more fish-friendly.

Fiskargatan, or "Fisherman's Street" in Södermalm comes in for stick, with the animal rights organisation suggesting that "Fish Are Friends Street" would better, promoting "kindness and respect rather than the mass killing of sensitive sea animals."

I liked the video titled (something like) "people attempt to chase and tackle fleeing driver".
I couldn't help noticing that "people" was 100% men. I wonder why someone didn't intervene to make sure that there was 50% female representation before letting this crowd go about its chasing. Just seems sexist not to.

Did you notice the kid in the red and black rugby shirt who tried to trip him?!?

Then in the mug shot it seems the driver attempted escape by repeatedly beating his nose against against a fist of someone trying to detain him ;)

Swiss cops will 'tolerate' World Cup rabble-rousers – for 60 minutes
The land of the cuckoo clock* brings you more endearingly cuckoo rules

A Swiss police force has decreed that up to an hour of car-horn beeping during the football World Cup will be officially tolerated by the famously pernickety nation.

Senior officers in the canton of Vaud have said they will tolerate car horn beeping for up to an hour after World Cup matches so fans can express their “joy or disappointment”, The Local reported.
