Maintenance workers trying to find the cause of a clogged courthouse toilet expected a stinky job, but none of them thought they’d actually find skunk.

The workers found dozens of small bags of hashish – 14 kilos (30 pounds) worth in all, completely blocking the waste pipe from the holding cell area in the basement of the Palace of Justice in the Spanish coastal town of Ceuta. This is, arguably, the most valuable toilet blockage ever dislodged in Spain. Its estimated street value is over $140,000.

Hashish is the resin produced by the marijuana plant, produced by compressing dried leaves and flowering tops of the plant. It takes between 45 and 75 kilograms of marijuana to produce a single kilo of hashish – making its street price significantly higher than ordinary cannabis.

Since December, when West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers first pointed a webcam at a slowly-ripening round of Westcombe cheddar, over a million visitors have stopped by to pay their respects.

Viewers from nearly 120 countries have seen the cheese – it can be seen 24-hours a day, all year long at www.cheddarvision.tv. “The whole idea was to show people how real food is made – and it seems to be working,” commented cheesemaker Tom Calver. “It takes a year for a cheese to mature. This is not fast food. It is slow food.”

Philip Crawford, chair of the West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers Group said, “As you can see we really do take our cheesemaking seriously. We nurture our cows so they produce lovely milk which in turn creates exquisite cheese. Some might say this is the most boring website of 2007, but our cheese is worth waiting for so it’s better than watching paint dry…just.”

For those with limited attention spans, a time-lapse video of the cheese’s progress is available. You an even channel surf, getting a glimpse of the cheesemakers, the cows and the finished products on offer at the West Country Farmhouse online shop.

A man dressed only in a stunning pair of heels caused a security alert in McMinnville, Oregon Wednesday.

Two police units responded to a 911 call in downtown McMinnville following sightings of a nude man sitting on a bench in the basement floor of a medical building. Though the medical building was locked down on the cops’ arrival, no trace of the high-heeled streaker could be found.

The man, described as being between 40 and 50, balding and thin, was last spotted running down a hallway in the almost vacant building. His speedy retreat serves as an indicator that he’s more accustomed to wearing women’s shoes than initially anticipated – though he’s obviously not so familiar with women’s clothing.

Officer Ed Lulko of Eastpointe, MI made a sticky discovery when recovering a stolen vehicle – a half-eaten cinnamon roll had been left in the car. It would appear that the thief - whose greed for cars was so extreme that he arrived on the scene in one stolen car, smashed the windows out of another car and proceeded to steal it - lost his taste for the sweet roll.

On what would appear to be a whim, in complete contradiction to all we know about police and their love of sweet bready treats, Lulko sent the pastry for analysis at the Michigan State Police crime lab. Then things got interesting.

The crime lab matched DNA traces on the partially eaten cinnamon bun to a convict already serving time for another auto theft – Norman O Wheeler. Wheeler’s DNA was on file owing to his previous conviction – lucky for the police, and local bakers, he’s already behind bars for another car theft.

Wheeler, who could hardly believe his mother was right about bad things coming to those who didn’t finish breakfast, faces sentencing for the 2004 crime on May 22.

A doctor in Florida is facing charges, after being accused of groping a woman while wearing a Captain America uniform with a burrito stuffed down his tights.

The incident, hardly fitting behaviour for a superhero, happened after 54-year-old Dr. Raymond Adamcik went on a bar-crawl with a number of other costume-wearing medics.
