Breaking news this morning:
Thaksin Shinawatra, former prime minister of Thailand, has been left in a coma after a tree he was standing next to toppled over and crushed him.
Doctors treating the deposed PM say there is a 50-50 chance of Thaksin waking up.
Thaksin is reported to have given the tree “a little kick†before it uprooted itself and pinned him to the ground, said police.
Police have sent the tree to forensic experts to be examined.

Never trust any strange news around april 1st.
The Zoo in Rotterdam, Holland has figured out that vegetarian food is better for animals and for the environment. Therefore starting today, all animals will be put on a veggie diet. Feel free this morning to watch the lions being fed salade for the first time :-)
Any news about the tree yet?

Ha, Ha! I heard Thaksin got his thingy chopped off as he became the first ex prime minister ladyboy. He is going to create a new party – Ladyboy Thai Rak.
He must be one smart ladyboy. With all the males chopping their thing off, he should garnish many votes..:)
