czech sprite
A beggar has been arrested after dressing up as a water fairy and demanding money from youngsters skating on a Czech lake. Police arrested the 47-year-old, who was dressed in green and covered in green ribbons, after parents complained that he was claiming to be a water sprite and demanding money to guarantee the ice did not break.

The Russian Orthodox Church has rejected a request from a militant young churchgoer to brand chess as the work of the devil. Archbishop Wikenti from Yekaterinburg said: 'Chess is a quiet, intelligent game that encourages people to think. It's not a sin.' Personally, I think it depends on whether you're playing black or white.
