A US man who stored his amputated leg in a barbecue smoker that was later auctioned off is locked in a custody dispute with the man who bought it. John Wood's smoker was sold to Shannon Whisnant last week after he fell behind on payments at the storage facility in North Carolina where it was kept. He wants his leg back but Mr Whisnant says he has a receipt for the smoker's contents and wants to share ownership. Mr Wood's leg was amputated above the knee after a plane crash in 2004. He asked to keep the leg so he could be buried as a whole man when he died, and stored it at the facility in Maiden after losing his home. But when Mr Wood failed to pay the necessary rental fees, the storage company auctioned the smoker and all its contents. After buying the smoker last Tuesday, Mr Whisnant looked inside and found a man's leg wrapped in a wire screen. He initially gave the leg to the police, who concluded it had not been removed as a result of a crime and sent it to a funeral home until Mr Wood could pick it up. But after making money by charging adults $3 (£1.47) and children $1 (49p) to look inside the empty smoker, Mr Whisnant asked for it back. His request was refused by the funeral home, so he decided to try to persuade Mr Wood to share custody and profits. "I told him I'd share custody of it..." Mr Whisnant said. "It's a strange incident and Halloween's just around the corner. The price will go up if I get the leg" ...

Harrods have sacked a Father Christmas who made 'inappropriate' remarks to customers. The former employee worked at Father Christmas World at the flagship store in London's Knightsbridge. His seasonal contract was terminated after complaints from visitors, reports the Sun Online. The Santa had reportedly asked an Asian family: "What are you doing here - shouldn't you be in Tesco?" And he allegedly invited the same family's teenage girl to sit on his knee. A Harrods spokesman denied the Father Christmas had been racially abusive but admitted he made 'inappropriate' comments. The store said in a statement: "We were able to identify the individual in question and having investigated the complaint thoroughly we terminated his seasonal contract. "There is no excuse for causing any level of complaint amongst our customers - and even if the remarks were made in good humour, we cannot condone behaviour that offends our customers. "It's also very sad that these incidents may ruin the enchantment of the grotto for our younger customers who still hold dear the fantasy that there is only one Father Christmas"...

A Russian farmer has asked President Vladimir Putin to allow him to marry a cow. According to MosNews Boris Gabov asked Putin for permission to marry the animal during a recent webcast in which Russians could send email directly to the president and ask him anything. The farmer from the Kemerovo region in southern Siberia said: "All the girls have left our small village and moved to the city, so I cannot find a woman to be with. But I see the solution to the problem. I love animals very much and want to ask when we will be allowed in Russia to marry domestic animals, such as cows?" It is unclear what Putin's reply was...

Bangkok - In what has been billed as a world first, two dwarf Brahman cows have been scheduled to tie the knot in Thailand's northeastern province of Sa Kaew next month, media reports said on Monday. The nuptials were set over the weekend at the Sa Kaew cattle market, 160km east of Bangkok, where the owners of two male and female dwarf Brahman cows agreed to get their diminutive bovines together for the sake of reproducing the petite breed, said The Nation newspaper. Krachang Kanokprasert, owner of the dwarf bull, originally wanted to buy the intended bride - who stands 70cm tall and weighs 50kg - but her proud owner refused to part with her. Instead, the farmers agreed to join the diminutive breeding stock in matrimony, with the date set for July 10. The ceremony will be conducted with all the pomp of a human wedding...

Prague - A man who tried to smuggle dozens of rare animals into the Czech Republic was caught with turtles in his luggage and a snake in his pants. A customs spokesperson said the passenger, who flew in from Tbilisi, Georgia, was nabbed after officers searching his luggage discovered scorpions, a horned viper, several beetles, a turtle and a brown bear claw. They then searched the man and found another snake hidden in his pants "in the area of his abdomen". They said they seized 60 live animals altogether and arrested the man...
