A Brazilian woman was driving in a suburb of Rio de Janeiro when she was caught by a traffic warden for not wearing a helmet. She did not accept the charges with good reason: she was driving a car!

A Swedish man recently endured a divorce and as a result, had to give half of what he owned to his former spouse. He became distraught and found a way to avoid giving away what he owned: He sold all his belongings for cash, then piled the money up and burned it. No word on whether the man's ex-wife gets half of the ashes.
