Humour Happenings & Curious News Around The World

A man in Liaoning, China, accidentally threw away 124,000 yuan or approximately Rs. 12 lakh into trash. Luckily for him, the money was returned to him after it was found by his neighbour who turned to the police for help. According to South China Morning Post, the man - surnamed Wang - left his home earlier this month while carrying two plastic bags. While one bag contained banknotes that he wanted to deposit in his bank, the other contained household trash.

Two recent instances of animals being made scapegoats in an attempt to cover up alleged corruption in Nigeria have left social media highly amused. A sales clerk was suspended from her job in February after she claimed that a snake had swallowed 36 million naira, or approximately $100,000. Just weeks later, a senator was ridiculed for suggesting monkeys stole 70 million naira, or about $194,600, from a farmhouse. In the first instance, a clerk in the office of the Nigerian examination board which collects exam fees blamed a snake for swallowing $100,000. Quite a mouthful for a snake, isn't it? According to the BBC, the exam board, known as the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board, dismissed the woman's claim and suspended her after a disciplinary hearing.
