A German restaurateur has come up with a novel way of getting around a country wide ban on smoking in restaurants. Three holes cut into the side of his Inn allow patrons to stick their arms and heads outside the building and smoke while they stay warm inside.

If you thought a guy wandering around the midwest planting apple trees while wearing a pot on his head was as strange as a folk hero gets, then you've never heard of Harry Bensley. He supposedly walked 30,000 miles wearing an iron mask and pushing a baby carriage on a bet.
