  "Weeeee!", screams Joel, "I've made an

  Jesus was actually crucified at Easter he said,
  "I quite like the way it's seasonally

  after all, if not rock music and crucified
  Godchild kittens?" Yes, quite.

Uniondale, N.Y, — The promotion invited fans to dress up as Santa Claus for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia Flyers and be admitted for free. What's more, they were permitted to parade across the ice between periods.

About 1,000 Santa Clauses showed up ...

This turned out to be not such a good idea. As the Santas milled around, two of them removed their red jackets to reveal jerseys of the rival Rangers.

The interlopers were knocked to the ice and had the shirts ripped off. Other Santas went sliding across the ice during the melee that took six minutes to settle down.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Reuters) - A former Miss South Africa has been attacked by a wild hippopotamus and bitten on the leg, local media reported on Wednesday.

A Hindu view of Christmas

The Hindus believe that Lord Jesus is an Avtar and his birth is in accordance with the scripture injunction contained in the Bhagavad Gita when Lord Sri Krishna spoke to his disciple Arjuna. “Whenever there is a decline of righteousness on earth and unrighteousness takes over, then I manifest myself from age to age to rid the world of its suffering.”

The world needs peace (Shanti) and Jesus the son of God was sent to re-establish. My peace I give unto you. He came to maintain the Old order. I came not to destroy, but to fulfill. In my father’s house there are many mansions and if it were not so I would have told you so. The world needs no more war and I am telling you so. One thing I would not like to be this Christmas is a turkey. A Merry Christmas to all people of the one world.

Harpreet Devi started driving backwards when his car got stuck in reverse gear.

"It gave me the confidence that I could really do it. That incident became an inspiration for more."

He and his wife Krishna have now mastered the art of driving in reverse at speeds of up to 25mph on the highways and say they can navigate their car through heavy traffic.

Harpreet has been driving his taxi in reverse for the last two years and says he has covered around 7,500 miles.

He now wants to drive his vehicle in reverse across India's border with Pakistan taking with him a message of peace and friendship.

The husband and wife are now known locally as the 'reverse couple'.
