Weird news
Independence Day, the World Cup and Wimbledon Tennis are but a few of July's events – along with other eventful weirdness

Holy cow
A farmer in Egypt is striving to keep a special animal alive on his farm. Labelled a “divine miracle”, a two-headed calf was born taking two hours to remove from its mother’s body. It is now being kept as a reminder of God’s ability to do what he wills with his creatures. Miracle or mutation? You decide.

Pimp my ride
On the other side of this sporting month, the genius guys (or maybe not so now) at Land Rover have unveiled a new addition in the form of the “smallest, lightest and most fuel efficient Range Rover ever”. They have also announced another addition: Mrs Victoria Beckham to be a new creative design director for the vehicles. Yes, that’s right Posh Spice. So fellas, how manly will it feel knowing that your next Range was designed by a Spice Girl? (Eek!)

Strange sports
The Metro have rounded up five of the weirdest sports that actually exist around the world. These include mud racing, literally through the filth; topless tobogganing, which is pretty self-explanatory; high-heeled racing for a €10,000 prize; toilet racing in actual loos; and a prisoners' Tour de France, which they’re actually not allowed to race in. What is the world coming to?

Oh deer…
A man from Alaska has been charged for stabbing his roommate with deer antlers. Cries for help were heard by neighbours who called in the incident but luckily, by the time the police arrived, the roommate was not badly hurt. Makes you think twice about who you share with. And what kind of room it was that there were antlers on a shared room wall…?

Bigger than the World Cup?

Dad Perry Higley forked out £10,000 to get his girls to the cup. The cup they wanted, that is: boob cup. Mother Deborah and two daughters, Rose and Harriet from Essex have all gone under the knife to get the same bra size, from an A to D bustier result. It was a joint birthday present for the girls apparently. That’s an awfully big gift – in every sense!

Va-va-vu-vu!
The world’s most expensive vuvuzela - encrusted with diamonds and made of white gold - has made one football fanatic very happy. Bought by a Russian businessman for €17,000, this is one mighty present! It was used for the World Cup final on July 11 2010. That is some expensive racket-making!

I love the quirky love stories. I can't believe Katy waited until she was married for her first kiss, hopefully it wasn't a case of 'Never been kissed' and really, would anyone buy that bra, lol! I've got to tell my mate about the Maccy D's diet, classic! Great stuff.
