Act of God destroys Jesus statue


A giant statue of Jesus Christ has been destroyed by lightning in the US state of Ohio.

The 19-metre-high sculpture on a highway outside Cincinnati caught fire and burnt to the ground after being struck during a thunderstorm.

Insurance companies described the incident as an act of God.

Puppy-hurling student escapes on bulldozer

A German student created a major traffic jam in Bavaria after making a rude gesture at a group of Hell's Angels motorcycle gang members, hurling a puppy at them and then escaping on a stolen bulldozer.

Police said that after making his getaway from the Hell's Angels club, the 26-year-old dumped the bulldozer, causing a five-kilometre traffic jam near the southern town of Allershausen.

He then fled to his home nearby where he was apprehended by the police.

"What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell's Angels is currently unclear," said a spokesman for local police, adding that the student had lately been suffering from depression.

The puppy was now in safe hands, the spokesman added.
