Yekaterinburg, Russia (WFN) -- Talk about stingy: A Russian man who was jilted by his girlfriend is now suing the woman to retrieve gifts he gave her -- including Swiss chocolates, nuts and three kilos of bananas. Although the dude is threatening to take his case to the highest court in Russia if he doesn't win, the girlfriend says there's no way she can return the items, because she's eaten them. CANBERRA, Australia -- A drought is forcing hungry kangaroos from the Australian bush into suburban Canberra, and wildlife experts are now warning folks to stay away from the potentially-threatening marsupials. It's with good reason: One hungry 'roo recently attacked a woman and another drowned a dog by attacking it in a pond. Experts say the behavior switch from cute and cuddly to aggressive and attacking is due to a lack of food. TOKYO -- Japan's most infertile male panda bear, Ling Ling, failed to father a female panda again, officials announced yesterday (Jul. 7) at Tokyo's Ueno Zoo. This time, zoo keepers tried to use Ling Ling's DNA to artificially inseminate a female panda on loan from a Mexican zoo, but what they thought was success turned out to be a false pregnancy. LONDON -- If the French say the English language is destroying their native tongue, they're just as guilty for giving birth to the word "Va-va-voom." The word, meaning "the quality of being exciting, vigorous, or sexually attractive," made it into the 11th edition of the "Oxford Concise English Dictionary," and was selected primarily because the French soccer player Thierry Henry uses it in a popular French car commercial.
