I love quirky stories and the ones we get from overseas are just brilliant.
Take today's World page, on A9, for example. We have a cheeky monkey that stole a camera and then snapped himself in a variety of poses.
Then there's the Japanese man who cut his face with knives and
scissors to change his appearance after allegedly killing a teacher.
And in Mexico, a 19-year old woman was caught trying to sneak her common-law-husband out of a prison in a suitcase after a conjugal visit.
There are bound to be other quirky stories here in the Bay. So if you know of something weird and wonderful, let us know.
