A LESSON THEY'LL NEVER FORGET: A student has sued New York's Pace University School of Law for $5 million after Prof. Gary Munneke allegedly used her as a demonstration for a lecture on torts. Denise DiFede charges that as she went to sit down in her chair, Munneke pulled it away, causing her to fall and injure her back.

POLICE! DROP IT! Tellers at the Royal Bank of Scotland in Manchester, England, noticed the man wearing a fur hat and heavy coat -- on the hottest day of the year -- even before he presented a teller with a shopping bag and ordered it filled with money. He got 6,000 pounds (US$8500). "But his actions once he left the bank were bordering on the comical," a police inspector said. The man's getaway vehicle was a bicycle. As he rode off, a dye packet with the cash exploded, enveloping him in a cloud of red smoke. Surprised, he fell and dropped the money, and a security camera taped his efforts to scoop up the cash. And since he knocked his hat off as he tried to straighten it, the camera also recorded his face. He jumped back on the bike and then crashed into a curb, falling again and dropping more of the money. In all, he left two-thirds of his loot behind during his getaway. (Manchester Evening News) ...Hey: even criminals have business expenses.

HEY BUDDY, MOOOVE! The last thing Ethem Sahin remembers was sitting in a coffee house in Nevsehir, Turkey, playing dominoes with friends. "My friends told me later what happened. I couldn't believe it," he says. A cow had wandered onto the cafe's roof from a hillside and crashed through the ceiling, landing on Sahin. He suffered cuts and a broken leg, and woke up in the hospital. The cow was not injured. (AP)
