A Scottish brewery, with a history of controversy, claims to have made the world's strongest beer. The drink, named "Tactical Nuclear Penguin" is so strong that it should be served in small measures usually reserved for spirits. Its maker, BrewDog brewers of Fraserburgh described the 32 per cent proof tipple as its "most audacious and ambitious project to date". But its launch comes amid a high profile debate in Scotland about an epidemic of alcoholism in the country. The devolved SNP administration is considering introducing minimum pricing in an attempt to curb problem drinking. BrewDog, which describes itself as making "progressive, craft beers" was previously responsible for an 18.2pc drink called Tokyo which it claimed had been "banned" by the Portman Group, the industry body which runs a voluntary code of conduct. It also made a low alcohol brew which it mockingly name "Nanny State". Only 500 bottles of its latest beer have been produced, with half going on sale for £30 each and remainder offered for £250 with a share in the company also on offer. In a posting on the company's website, James Watt, the managing director said: "This beer is bold, irreverent and uncompromising, a beer with a soul and a purpose, a statement of intent." He added: "Beer has a terrible reputation in Britain, it’s ignorant to assume that a beer can’t be enjoyed responsibly like a nice dram or a glass of fine wine. "A beer like Tactical Nuclear Penguin should be enjoyed in spirit sized measures. "It pairs fantastically with vanilla bean white chocolate it really brings out the complexity of the beer and complements the powerful, smoky and cocoa flavours." A warning on the label advises drinkers to take it in small servings: "and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. "In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost." Source

A luckless crook surrendered to police after four robberies flopped in the same day. Ralf Lautenbach, 24, fled after trying to hold up two hotels which set security guards on him - and then abandoned a break in at the local tax office in Muelheim an der Ruhr, Germany. Finally the failing would-be crook handed himself in after he was trapped in his getaway car after using it to ram a bank security cash van. "He needs a change of job," said one officer.

From the outside, Anthony Toth's house looks quite ordinary - but step inside and you find a big departure from the norm. This airline nut has recreated the passenger cabin of a 1980s Pan Am Boeing 747 in his garage. His homage to the defunct fleet is so detailed he even has a real departure board, aircraft seats, luggage racks, oxygen masks, safety manuals and sick bags. The 42-year-old, who works for US carrier United Airlines, has spent thousands of pounds over 20 years to achieve his dream. 'I became obsessed with flying Pan Am because of the amazing cabin interiors,' said Mr Toth, who built a model of the aircraft's interior when he was just ten. 'The great thing about Pan Am was that it was so identifiable - you could sit in that cabin and know exactly who you were flying with,' added the fan, from Redondo Beach, California. His obsession even influenced his choice of house - he picked one with an oversized garage. Source
INDIANAPOLIS — A man was arrested after police said he left his 5-year-old son in a tractor-trailer while he ducked into an Indianapolis strip club to drink. The 39-year-old was arrested at 1:15 a.m. Tuesday on child neglect and public intoxication charges after calling police to report his truck stolen and his child missing. Police said the man was too drunk to remember where he had parked. They found the boy inside watching cartoons on a television inside the cab. The keys were in the ignition, and the doors were unlocked. Police said the suspect put his son in jeopardy by leaving him exposed in a high crime area. The man was taken to the Marion County jail, where his wife picked up him and the child. Source
Two lovers have had sex in broad daylight in a clock tower above a busy junction in Sydney. The couple shocked onlookers by getting down to business on the roof of one of the city's landmarks in the middle of the afternoon, reports the Daily Telegraph. Crowds gathered at the foot of the building - a former department store converted into university accommodation - and at least one member of the public captured their passions on camera. "A few other people had noticed as well and when I started taking photos everyone in the area started to look up and point, laugh, grin," a witness told the Australian Daily Telegraph. "From the looks of it, the couple did seem to know they could be seen and seemed completely unfazed." Australian newspapers are now appealing for the couple to come forward. There is speculation that they were students staying in the building who decided to make love on the roof as a prank. The property on which they displayed their affection was constructed for the Grace Bros department store in 1923, and remains one of the most prominent buildings in the city. Source
