Don’t you think this is just cruel?

Exam supervisors at a German University stuck by the rules when a student writing an exam stated that he had to urinate mid-exam due to bladder dysfunction he wasn’t allowed to exit the room and use the washroom. Nope. He was provided with a bottle to urinate in and had to do it in front of the other 120 students who were also writing the exam.

I hope no women had to pee!

The overseers of the exam told the 27 year old student of Freiburg University in South Western Germany that he’d be failed if he left the room during the exam. The man had a bladder control problem due to an accident that left him on crutches.

The supervisors wouldn’t even accompany the man to the washroom despite the request of other students.

A kind female student emptied her water bottle so that the man could use the bottle in the corner of the room to relieve himself.

University deputy head Karl Reinhard Volz apologized to the student when he heard what had happened to the student. He went on to say that the supervisors actions were unjustified and lacking in any normal human sensitivity.

You think airport security checks and the delays that it causes are bad here in North America? Well, apparently a 66 year old German tourist, visiting the Philippines, thought their stringent security was pretty bad.

The man was so annoyed and frustrated with security at the Manila airport that he dropped his pants before walking through an X-ray machine. The Philippine authorities were not amused.

Rather than boarding his intended flight to Frankfurt the man was detained. Police filed a complaint of lasciviousness against him.

We’ve all heard of police finding finger prints at the scene of a crime but how often do they get the orginal print too? Police in Germany got just that, when a careless burglar left behind a vital clue at a break-in when he sliced off the end of a finger on a broken window while committing a robbery.

The police were able to match the piece of finger with existing prints they had from a 15-year-old of Iraqi origin. The youth initially denied breaking and entering into an office to steal a computer but confessed when police produced the digital remnant.

I wonder if the police kept the “tip” on ice while they sought the criminal or not?

Do you enjoy a good cry every now and then? Or are you an emotional person that ends up crying a lot anyway- even if you don’t really want to? Well if you are Germans have admitted what few may have suspected - 70 percent of people canvassed in a survey published this week said that they have cried in the past year, often while watching sad movies.

The survey also found that eighty-eight percent of women respondents said that they have cried recently, according to the poll conducted by the GfK Marktforschung institute. Almost half of their male counterparts answered in the affirmative.

Asked where and why, most said that they have let tears roll at the movies or while watching television. About one-fifth said that they have cried out of anger or frustration and 8 percent admitted having been driven to tears by their lovers.

What made you cry last?
