All eyes on Olympic ski-jumping’s crotch-enlargement scandal in Norway​

The Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics are rapidly approaching, and a weird cheating scandal has shaken the world of ski jumping, and drawn international attention to the high-stakes battle over equipment rules. In a bizarre discovery, it seems the cold temperature on the ski jump ramp has an indirect effect on aerodynamics. Dubbed the “crotch-enlarging scandal” or even “Penisgate” in some media circles, the controversy centres on Norwegian team officials caught illegally modifying athletes’ suits to gain an aerodynamic edge, specifically by enlarging the crotch area for extra lift and distance. https://euroweeklynews.com/2026/01/...umpings-crotch-enlargement-scandal-in-norway/

A Minnesota man was charged Thursday with impersonating an FBI agent after he showed up at a federal prison in New York City claiming to have a court order to release an inmate, identified by a law enforcement source as accused killer Luigi Mangione.

In his backpack, BOP workers found a barbecue fork and a “round steel blade” that resembled a pizza cutter.

Anderson had traveled to New York from Minnesota for a job opportunity that didn’t work out, and he had been working at a pizzeria, the law enforcement source said.

A Buddhist temple in central Thailand has been left without monks after all of its holy men failed drug tests and were defrocked, a local official said Tuesday.

‘Emergency surgery was carried out, and the object was found to be an artillery shell dating back to the First World War.

‘Worse still, it had not exploded, and so bomb disposal experts had to be called to diffuse the shell, with the fire brigade standing by.’

Imagine if that HAD gone off. Talk about fallout! Zing!

Martini in student's lunch box prompts Georgia police to warn parents: 'That is NOT Apple Juice'​

“That is a whole ‘Parent had a long night’ starter pack,” read the tongue-in-cheek warning from the local PD, along with a picture of the canned martini that was packed in a child's lunch.

Police near Atlanta kindly asked parents Wednesday to double-check lunches they pack for their children after one tyke came to school with a martini to wash down a midday snack.

The South Fulton Police Department released a picture of what, at a quick glance, looked like a normal school lunch.

But on closer examination, the aluminum can wasn't juice, soda or any other non-intoxicating beverage. It was a can of lemon martini made with "vodka, triple sec and lemon juice," according to its label.

Are they sure this didn't belong to one of the teachers? God knows, I would need a drink to get through the day if I had that job.
