Not "fake news" a la Trump but actual news which is decidedly odd and makes me smile {I have a bitter and twisted sense of humour}. Add your own examples.

* In the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh the Minister for Happiness is on the run from police accused of murder.

* Severn Trent Water has said that the repair of their burst water pipeline has been delayed due to the vicinity being flooded {by water from the pipe}.

After a dumping of snow hit the roads on Sunday the emergency services warned people not to travel unless necessary.

But the decision by most people to stay away from their cars may have meant worse conditions for drivers that did venture out yesterday and this morning too

Because while gritters had been out in force ahead of the bad weather, the spreading requires a certain amount of traffic to help distribute the rock salt and clear the carriageways.

This meant even on main gritting routes, conditions were far from ideal
