Even Agent Mulder Would Have Been Foxed

That’s A Smashing Car
Someone Going To Pay For This - But Who?

The 420bhp Veritas RS III was on display in Moenchengladbach, Germany. The two men crashed into a lamppost and police arrested them as they tried to flee the mangled wreck.

Naked Ambition
All The Nudes That’s Fit To Print
German holidaymakers will be able to indulge their love of naturism by taking to the skies on special naked flights. The flights are aimed at former East Germans who feel nostalgic for the naturism that was authorised and extremely popular under communist rule. The first nude flight will be a July 5 day trip between Erfurt in southeast Germany and the white sandy beaches on the Baltic Sea island of Usedom.

Right Of Weigh
No Traffic Lights In German Town
A German town council has decided the best way to improve road safety is to remove all traffic lights and stop signs. From today, all traffic controls will disappear from Bohmte - a town used by 13,500 cars every day - and drivers and pedestrians will enjoy equal right of way. The idea of removing signs to improve road safety, called Shared Space, was developed by a Dutch traffic specialist and is supported by the European Union.
