Around The Weird: Bizarre News Briefs

Mars (WFN) -- Mars may be a great place to visit but NASA scientists have discovered that it stinks to high heaven. The Mars rovers currently roaming the red planet have electronic noses capable of detecting Martian odors. The current info suggests the Mars smells like sulfuric acid and hydrogen sulphide, two particularly stinky substances.

CHARLESTON, W. Va. -- One mother from Charleston, West Virginia, has a bone to pick with a toy maker. Terri Heaver claims a singing toy dog uses language far too "ruff" for kids. Her 11-year-old son planned to give the Val Pal puppy to his girlfriend, but was turned off on the idea because the dog programmed to sing "You Got the Pooch," a parody of the 1998 song "Hooch," used the phrase "You got the bitchy, bitchy." Heaver contacted the Texas-based toy maker, but no one at Gemmy Industries will return her calls.

MOSCOW - Russian police officers are being sent back to school to learn their ABCs thanks to mounting complaints about the illegible parking tickets they are writing. Ananova.com reports that in some cases, police issued tickets that were so messy authorities couldn't figure out what the charges were. As a result, officers are being ordered to take Russian classes four times a week to straighten out their penmanship.

SYDNEY, Australia - A group of pagans have been banned from a bar in Sydney, Australia, because the proprietor claims they've been casting spells to clear out the place. Greenwood Hotel owner claims the group, which met weekly in his bar, spooked guests with their strange behavior. But a spokeswoman for the PaganPages group tells the "Sydney Morning Herald," "As far as I know, people don't case spells, but I can't vouch for everyone. It's not a very sacred space."
