No, general public...cuz I would totally go to a pony ranch (or whatever the heck they're called) to ride a horse that looked like that. It's so cool looking!!

Couldn't they just dye the horse's hair?

MEADVILLE, Pa. — A 1,500-pound wrecking ball broke loose from a crane cable and raced downhill, smashing into several cars and injuring three people before coming to rest in the trunk of a car at an intersection Monday.

The world's tallest man has married a woman who only comes up to his elbow. Bao Xishun, a 7ft 9in herdsman from Inner Mongolia, met his bride earlier this year after sending advertisements for a wife around the world. But in the end he didn't have to look too far - 5ft 6in saleswoman Xia Shujian hails from his hometown of Chifeng.

Theoretically yes, if when she grows up she's horse-sized, though zebras are fairly temperamental and she may have inherited the trait....

*cough*

But what they didn't say here was that old Bao is really old - 56, if I remember correctly from the JPost caption. And little Xia is only 27 or something. Why did he wait so long? And why did she marry someone so old? I'm sure that she could have found someone a little younger that she could look up to.

Oh, so you're one of these young married people who is completely insensitive to the fact that there are a lot of older single people who are very serious-minded about marriage, but for one reason or another, it hasn't come easily to them.

I remember that. The owner's boyfriend broke up with her when she adopted it. But then she met a better man who accepted it. But then it died.

Greek villages encircled by flames appealed for help today as strong winds continued to fan forest fires that have killed 63 people in three days.

The forest fires have burned down hundreds of villages and came close to destroying the ancient site of Olympia.

Thousands have been left homeless and 63 people have been killed, with more feared dead, trapped in villages cut off by flames.

The government has offered rewards of up to €1 million for help in tracking down arsonists it suggests have played a major role in the fires.

This holidaymaker found herself stranded in her deckchair as the tide came in and started lapping at her feet. The woman, estimated by some onlookers to weigh as much as 20 stone, had been unable to get out of the chair after its legs became firmly wedged in the shingle.

It took coastguards in yellow jumpsuits and wellington boots to rescue the turbanwearing tourist, said to be 49 and from Belgium. Two of them prised her free just as the water came up the beach, watched by a crowd of onlookers.

B"H

Where on earth did you get that from?!
Not only do I have no problem believing this item to be true, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. Or do they prefer to call 'Chaverim' whenever something like that happens?

I see- it's from the Daily Mail. How else could it be!
