Man steals plane while drunk

Newsday reports on the case of 20-year-old Philippe Patricio, who is accused of stealing a four-seat Cessna plane and taking two friends on a middle-of-the-night joyride.

He'd had seven hours of student flight time, was twice over the limit and "a significant number of beer cans" fell out of the cockpit doors when they were opened.

The plane landed successfully at Westchester County Airport, which was closed at the time.

Randy donkey exiled

"A randy donkey has been banished to a deserted island after harassing female donkeys at a Croatian national park," Ananova reports.

Tourists were apparently complaining that the donkey spent all of its time trying to have sex with the other donkeys, who consequently went into hiding.

Driver requests tape to fix train

A driver issued a call for sticky tape after the train he was driving broke down, the BBC reports. The Midland Mainline train had a problem with an exterior air pipe, which the driver tried to fix but required something to hold it together.

Nobody on board answered his call.

How poor is Kat Fletcher?

Kat Fletcher writes in her Guardian column about the poor financial situation many graduates find themselves in. She hasn't been in the black since 1999, and lives on a little over £300 per month once her bills are paid.

Moral of the story: don't become NUS President if you want to get rich quick. Or a graduate, for that matter.
