O Little Crown Of Bethlehem
A school handyman has carved a complete nativity scene from old classroom desks. Chris Reeves used a pile of 1960s science desks destined for the tip to create amazing wooden figurines of Mary, Joseph, and Angel Gabriel. The crib took two months to complete and will now be blessed by a priest. To see the photograph, go to Ananova.

Hell Copter
Shoppers And Choppers
Romanian shoppers were startled to see a helicopter landing between cars in a supermarket car park. The chopper dropped off two men who went into the Real supermarket in Bacau and the pilot returned an hour later to pick them up. (You can view the photo at Ananova.)

Plastic Fantastic
We’ll Drink To This Achievement
A Serbian maths professor has celebrated his retirement by moving into a house he built himself - entirely out of plastic bottles. It took five years and 13,500 bottles for Tomislav Radovanovic, from the central town of Kragujevac, to build the 60 square metre house. He hopes to enter the Guinness Book of Records and has already sent them an application. Only the foundation of the property is concrete, and all other parts of the house are made of plastic bottles that he had been collecting for years. Even the kitchen furniture and windows are made of plastic bottles. To see a picture of the house, go to Ananova.

Willy Wonky
Forget Hero And Leander, It's Hero And Meander
Whatever you do - don't follow this centre line. Blundering contractors have been ordered to repaint wonky road markings that they painted in the dark. The wobbly markings on the A337 Lyndhurst to Cadnam road in New Forest, Hampshire, have caused some amusement to motorists since they appeared last week. The workers have been ordered to do the work again after the first job was done at night, using only a small mobile light to see. Chairman of nearby Lyndhurst Parish Council George Bisson said it was no wonder the lines were wonky. "Presumably they were doing it then to prevent traffic disruption but perhaps it was counter-productive." To see the wobbly line, go to Ananova.
