Naturist praises Prince Harry for outdoor romp
And other stories from the stranger side of life
A famous naturist has praised Prince Harry for losing his virginity in a field, saying “there’s no better place for it”. Colin Unsworth, 52, who once rode naked from Lands End to John O’Groats, said he thinks it’s “wonderful” that Harry had made the rite of passage in the great outdoors, reported the Daily Star. “As long as you’re away from prying eyes and nobody can see you, I can’t think of a better location than out in nature, in the middle of a field,” he said.
Man spends thousands on wolf costume
A man in Japan has spent more than £18,000 on a lifelike full-size wolf suit to realise his longstanding dream of being an animal, reported The Telegraph. “At the final fitting, I was amazed at my transformed self in the mirror,” said the man, of the outfit created by Zeppet Workshop, which cost three million yen (£18,600). “My order to look like a real wolf walking on hind legs was difficult to say the least but the complete suit looked exactly like what I imagined.”
Czech sets record for biting cans
A man in the Czech Republic bit 36 drink cans in half in one minute, landing himself a Guinness World Record. The aluminium cans were filled with water for the attempt, and René Richter was allowed to use only one hand and his teeth for each can, noted UPI. The stunt took place on Italy’s Lo Show Dei Record. Richter munched his way through 36 cans in the allotted time, successfully setting the record.
