Guy tears hair out over hairdresser’s phone
BERLIN (Reuters) - Police helping a German man track down a nuisance
caller discovered his tormentor for two years was a faulty card payment
system in a hairdresser’s shop.
The 58-year-old man in Frankfurt did not recognize the Hamburg number that kept ringing him and had it blocked.
After several months, he got tired of paying for the blocking service and the calls began again on working days.
Police traced the number to a Hamburg hairdresser whose payment
system dialed the man whenever it accepted a card. Staff were oblivious
to the problem, which is being fixed.
“When he picked it up he got no answer, and there was no response
when he called back either,” said Frankfurt police spokesman Manfred
Fuellhardt on Tuesday.

Infants thrown off roofs to thank God
Solapur (Maharashtra): Religious traditions are diverse and sometimes as bizarre as they can get. A village in Solapur, Maharashtra, has a dangerous tradition of throwing newborns from a height of 50 feet onto a sheet, which is held by devotees.
The infants are thrown off the roof of the Baba Sheikh Umar Saheb Dargah in Musti village in Solapur. This is an age-old tradition practiced by couples who are blessed with a child after taking a vow at the dargah. The devotees also believe that this ritual is good for the health of the child.
