Students at a public school are said to have sculpted a picket fence into a giant penis hours before a prize-giving ceremony. The incident is alleged to have happened at the Oratory School, near Reading in Berkshire. The pupils are said to have created the penis in the fence on their cricket pitch during the night-time prank. Workmen had to be called in at dawn to cover up the offending article before the arrival of guests, which included Boris Johnson, editor of The Spectator. Clive Dytor, Head of the school, blamed the prank on "high jinks".

A pet poodle has chewed off a woman's bottom lip as she slept. Police in Georgia say the 47-year-old woman woke from a drug-induced sleep to find her lip was missing. They say there was no evidence of a crime being committed and the woman had admitted letting the dog lick her lips after she had drunk sweet tea. The woman told police she had taken pain medication before going to sleep and when she woke up her bottom lip was missing. While police officers searched the house for the lip, they checked the dog, called Shorty, and found traces of blood around its mouth.
