A german man made his disapproval of tourism known in Munich when, after detecting an eastern german accent being used near him, he started hurling abuse at the speaker and grabbing a variety of nearby objects with which to hit them. Including a hapless swan.
He grabbed the swan by its neck, and swung it like a club at his victim after an afternoon drinking session.
The swan apparently flew away, escaping unhurt otherwise.
Police in Germany have been tracking a now infamous criminal, “The Phantom of Heilbronn”, across 16 years when her DNA turned up at 6 separate murder sites. A reward of 300,000 euros has been offered to find this dangerous misfit.
Doubts began to surface about the killer however when the killer’s DNA turned up on an ID card from someone who died in a fire, but upon a second testing of the card there was no such incriminating DNA present.
Police are currently getting DNA samples from workers at the factory where the cotton buds used in DNA testing are produced and packed, as it’s now looking as if the buds may have had DNA from the workers on them before being used in the investigations.
“The investigators are not to blame. They can’t tell if a cotton bud has DNA sticking to it.”
However, he admitted that “if the trace does belong to a woman working in the factory, it’ll be very embarrassing”.

Sounds like the German phrase which translates to “air rifle” means something slightly different to the English/Australian meaning, however either way you shouldn’t stick them in your bum:
A German steel foundry worker has been given a nine months jail sentence after poking an air rifle up his friend’s bottom and firing it – causing his intestines to explode.
