Herd of sheep eats 100kg of cannabis in Greece
Herd of sheep
A herd of sheep struggling to find fresh grass for food due to extreme flooding started behaving strangely after eating large parts of a cannabis crop, according to reports.
The sheep invaded a greenhouse producing medicinal cannabis in Greece.
The owner said the crop had already been badly damaged by a heat wave and Storm Daniel – and the sheep had finished “what was left”.
The herd had been grazing in the flooded plains of Thessaly, in Central Greece, before heading to the greenhouse near the town of Almyros to eat around 100kg of the cannabis, reported TheNewspaper.gr website.
The owner of the crop told the website: “I don’t know if it’s for laughing or crying.”
“We had the heat wave and we lost a lot of production. We had the floods, we lost almost everything. And now this. The herd entered the greenhouse and ate what was left. I don’t know what to say, honestly,” the owner said.
A shepherd had noticed strange behaviour in the herd, but it is not clear what this involved.
Storm Daniel swept through Thessaly across three days earlier this month, flooding cities and villages and killing more than 100,000 animals and livestock, officials said.
Hundreds of residents were airlifted or pulled out of flooded homes in lifeboats, while many crops were washed away.
The rainstorm, which killed 17 people, was the nation’s most intense since records began in 1930 and came after a summer of devastating wildfires.

Texas woman’s tongue is the world’s widest at 3.11 inches
A Texas woman was awarded a Guinness World Records title for the surprising contents of her mouth – a 3.11-inch-wide tongue.
Brittany Lacayo told the record-keeping organization she decided to apply for the title after learning about the former record-holder, Emily Schlenker, whose tongue measured 2.89 inches wide.
Lacayo’s tongue is exactly as wide as the average length of an adult woman’s tongue: 3.11 inches.
Her tongue actually is wider than it is long when measured from the epiglottis, the flap of cartilage located behind the tongue.
“It is neat and kind of funny,” Lacayo told Guinness World Records.
The male version of the record belongs to American Brian Thompson, whose tongue measures 3.49 inches wide.

Ohio man’s dog license number earns him $50,000 lottery prize
An Ohio man used the numbers from his beloved dog’s license tag to play a Pick 5 lottery, drawing and scored a $50,000 prize.
Roger Sours of Tiffin told Ohio Lottery officials he bought a ticket for Wednesday’s Pick 5 drawing at the Pit Stop on N Washington Street in Tiffin and selected a special set of numbers: 1-0-8-2-2.
“I play two sets of numbers for Pick 5 and this number, the number that hit was actually my license number for my German Shepherd that I played. She’s no longer with us anymore,” he said.
Sours said he was shocked when he watched the lottery results on TV.
“I just sat here. I watched the lottery when I can, when it’s on TV and I just sat here. It was like, I froze. I just couldn’t believe that it hit,” he recalled.
Sours said his winnings will go toward taking care of some bills and giving a boost to his savings account.
