Posessed dog case

Because a dog wandered into a rabbinical courthouse in Jerusalem, the judges just had to have a trial. After all, they couldn't get it to leave!

In the end, these judges ruled:
* The dog was a reincarnation of a lawyer who died 20 years ago.
* This dog is this lawyer because 20 years ago, the judges ruled that the lawyer's spirit would enter the body of a dog. This classic ruling was made because the lawyer insulted the judges.
(Imagine that, insulting *these* fine judges? No way!)
* They are certain of this because the dog wouldn't leave.
and... My favorite part of the ruling:
* That the dog should be stoned to death, by children. Fun for the whole family!

Good, solid, and quality judgin'...

Freedom of information isn't always free

The City Council of Leicester (UK) was forced to consider and admit that they are unprepared for a zombie attack. Because they don't have bigger problems to solve, a 'concerned citizen' filed a Freedom of Information request. As no such information was available, they instead had the head of Information Governance announce their lack of planning in regards to this fictitious threat.

I don't know about you, but I hope my city council is working on far more important things. On the plus side, this couldn't have taken up any more than 5 minutes of City Council time. And I hope the chuckle gained makes up for the few minutes lost...
