A Kuwaiti man in court for shooting his sister-in-law in 1995 claimed that she had made his wife ill through witchcraft. Islamic law allows the killing of witches. He was convicted of her murder Awwwwww!!


Today in 1992 a pair of pointed rubber ears, worn by Leonard Nimoy as "Mr. Spock" in the Star Trek TV series, sold for £700 at an auction in London.


The 580ft Post Office Tower opened today in 1965, in Maple Strret, London, with a revolving restaurant and viewing galleries (later closed to the public following IRA bomb threats)


A Rembrandt painting found discarded on a platform at a Munich station in 1986, was recognised as one that had been stoled FOUR times in 16 years from a gallery in Dulwich, London.
