A friend of mine once posted cucumbers through 30 peoples letterboxes in the same street. Which was a little on the odd side.

Random story of the day...
As heard on the BBC, text from Ananova...
Anybody got any theories as to *why*?! For goodness' sake, why...
------------------------------------------------------------
"Hunters find 140 shoes filled with butter
A Swedish couple hunting on a remote mountain in Sweden's far northern province of Jaemtland have found 70 pairs of shoes, all filled with butter.
There were 140 shoes of all kinds - trainers, high heels, boots and tap shoes - each stuffed with half a kilo of butter and spread out in the landscape.
The find is similar to one done by artist Yu Xiuzhen's in 1996.
His exhibit "Shoes With Butter," was laid out in the Tibetan mountains surrounding Lhasa, China.
"If we knew who had done this we could make them clean this mess up," Alf Kjaellstroem, a province spokesman said.
"It's not going to be pretty when the butter starts to rot. And we have to wait for the snow so we can get up there with the snowmobile."

Bizarre; but oh, how amusing!

More weird Swedish stuff: A few years back, a Swedish newspaper set up a webcam in a forest, put a link to it from its site and offered a prize to the first person to spot a moose on the camera...
