A video of a seven-month-old Australian baby learning to water-ski is going viral online.
Ryder Blair, from Queensland, looks like he was born to water-ski in the footage, taken at Lake Dyer, west of Brisbane.
He seems to show no fear as he takes to the sport in his life-jacket as mum Tamara runs alongside. In an accompanying post, she writes that her son is not actually behind a boat he is just being pulled along the shoreline.
She added: “Next step is to get him beside the boat next season when its warmer again. We used our GoPro to capture this moment.”
Car park demolished around car
A motorist in China is going to struggle to drive his car home – after the car park around it was demolished.
Construction workers in Taiyuan, Shanxi, ran out of patience after waiting in vain for ten days for the driver to collect the car. They felt they could wait no longer to complete a street-broadening development and decided to level the area around the car, leaving it stranded among rubble.
Pictures show the white vehicle, which looks surprisingly pristine, on a cracked platform enveloped by broken stones.
Two headed piglet saved from abattoir
A piglet has been saved from the slaughterhouse after being born with two heads. The animal, which has two snouts, two ears and a shared eye, was born in a Chinese village in Jiangxi province.
It had been due to be slaughtered but its owners have now insisted it is cared for instead. The animal will struggle to survive for long, though, according to the vet looking after it. The piglet’s rare condition is known as polycephaly.
Restaurant offers cancer – with chips
A British tourist has complained after finding ‘cervical cancer with chips’ on the menu at a restaurant in Poland.
Owen Durray, 32, from Kent, found ‘Cervical cancer served on beetroot carpaccio’ being offered at the Bee Jays restaurant in Poznan. Durray said: “I wanted something fishy but I didn’t expect this.
“No one I know has had cervical cancer but I can imagine that if it had been seen by somebody else they might have been well upset. As it was I quickly lost my appetite, the meaning doesn’t exactly encourage you to order anything does it?”
A spokesman for the restaurant said: “This was a mistake in translation. “The food item was for crayfish and somehow that got turned into Cervical Cancer. We will be having a word with our translator. “We apologise if we have offended anyone.”
