Leave a message after the moo
A Devon farmer lost his mobile phone after accidentally inserting it into the rear end of a cow while using the device as a torch during calving. The incident was one of a list of bizarre claims compiled by the website mobileinsurance.co.uk. A woman from Nottingham baked her Nokia in a Victoria sponge, and the organiser of a fireworks display in Plymouth said his iPhone had been launched 3,000ft into the air after being left in the "blast zone". In another claim, a woman from Liverpool said she had thrown her HTC phone at her cheating boyfriend but missed, hitting a wall.
A theft too far
An overambitious scrap dealer has been arrested by police in Bosnia after stealing an entire bridge. Officers in Brcko found the 39ft iron bridge, cut in half for ease of transport, in the garden of a 29-year-old man. It had been taken from the banks of a river on the town's outskirts.
Thy speedo runneth over
And the Lord spake unto Melissa Miller and said: "Go out in your silver Toyota and drive at 100mph in a 30mph zone."

She claimed the Almighty also told her to sound her horn as she did so.
