Around The Weird: Bizarre News Briefs

Amsterdam, Netherlands (WFN) -- The Dutch are shucking off their wooden shoes and tulips, claiming the icons are "too corny" now that the Netherlands is taking up the presidency of the European Union. A spokesman for the Dutch European Affairs Minister says, "The cabinet isn't denying traditional symbols such as wooden clogs and tulips, but nevertheless we want to portray a more modern image."

BRASILIA, Brazil -- When Brazil's national soccer team visits Haiti to play an exhibition soccer match this August, spectators will be invited to swap firearms for free tickets to the game. The president of the Brazilian Soccer Federation says the gun exchange program is "part of an attempt to disarm rival factions in the country."

MACON, Ga. -- It's not easy being Chuck E. Cheese-y. A Georgia teen who dresses as the pizza place mascot was assaulted with pizza and threatened with a whipping by an irate mom who thought the costumed character wasn't paying enough attention to her child. The Macon "Telegraph" reports the 17-year-old victim hasn't filed any charges against her pizza-tossing assailant yet.

GUGLINGEN, Germany -- A German company which helps people cheat on their lovers has been such a success that it's expanding into the Austrian market. The Perfect Alibi agency gets around 350 cheating customers every month and provides them with excuses for being away from their spouse or partner, such as invitations to weekend-long business seminars.
