Goat breaks into police car, eats paperwork
A police officer in the American state of Georgia recently received a surprise visitor – a goat inside her car.
The deputy from Douglas County Sheriff’s Office found herself in the bizarre situation after she went to a residence to serve some civil papers on Friday – and came back to find the animal inside her car, happily munching away on the paperwork kept there.
According to Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the deputy explained that “due to the number of houses she visits daily, she routinely leaves her vehicle’s door open because she has had to retreat on a number of occasions from vicious dogs”.
On Friday, she had been doing her job as usual when the day received an unexpected twist. Body camera footage showed the cop walking back to her car from a residence and finding a goat inside.
The footage showed her trying to shoo the goat away and attempting to retrieve the papers it was chewing.
At one point, she was even knocked to the ground, although the police department said she did not suffer any injuries.
“At the end of the day we all got a little laugh out of it and we hope you do as well!” the Police Department wrote while sharing the video on Facebook.
“It got to eat the warrant for my arrest fast before the police comes back. Hahaha,” one person said.

NASA Astronaut shows how he wears pants in Space: ‘two legs at a time’
Astronauts have a unique way of getting dressed in space. In a fascinating video posted on February 21, NASA chemical engineer, Don Pettit, demonstrated how he puts on his pants aboard the International Space Station. Instead of the traditional one-leg-at-a-time approach, Mr Pettit descended into his floating trousers, essentially jumping into them with both legs at once.
He simply captioned the video, “Two legs at a time.”
The lighthearted video delighted viewers, prompting a flurry of comments and reactions from users who enjoyed the humorous glimpse into life in space. One user wrote, “I thought you were going to land right in them at first. Haha. That might be fun to try.”
Another joked, “This is the real content that I needed! I attempted to recreate this on Earth and well.it didn’t go well.”
A third said, “Missed opportunity to not have the theme from Space Odyssey 2001 playing for this.” A fourth added, “Such a pro! Well done.”

Company threatens to fire employees …..if they don’t get married and have children
A company based in China’s Shandong province caught the attention of government officials after it threatened to fire its single and divorced employees if they remained single by the end of September.
According to a report in South China Morning Post, Shandong Shuntian Chemical Group Co. Ltd., issued a notice to its 1,200-odd employees, emphasising that they work well and establish families.
The notice required single employees aged 28-58, including those divorced, to get married and settle down by the end of September this year. Those who do not by the end of March need to write a self-criticism letter. If they do not get married by the end of June, the company will conduct an “evaluation” of them. If they are still single by the end of September, they will be fired.
The company said the move was intended to promote the spirit and cultural values of “diligence, kindness, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness”.
As the news went viral, Chinese social media users slammed the decision, stating the company was violating several laws.
“Corporate rules should not override laws or social morals,” one user commented, while others pointed out that the Chinese marriage law guarantees freedom of marriage.
“This crazy company should mind its own business and stay away from the personal lives of employees.”
