Weird N' Wacky
One of these stories is made up, can you guess which one?
Story 1
We've heard the stories about how consumers are going crazy for coupons. In fact, statistics show the redemption of coupons spiked 47% from 2008 to 2009 in the United States, as more shoppers try to save money. The coupons have become so popular, some grocery store chains have designed specific check out lines for those using coupons. In some cases, extreme clippers as they're called, will have up to a dozen coupons for a cashier, which slows down the line. So, coupon clipping customers at some stores are being asked to use the coupon line to keep the other checkouts flowing.
Story 2
A cow has given birth to triplets despite the odds of doing so being 100,000 to one. Caesar is the proud mama of calves Laura, Ben and Tom, born last week on a farm near Cornwall, England. Her multiple delivery has been described as a miracle by the farmer, although he disclosed that Caesar's mother gave birth to twins last year. He's also happy to report the mother and her calves are all doing well and they've become the talk of the town.
Story 3
A Norfolk grandfather is giving seniors lessons in self defence using a special weapon - a cane. 61 year old Kevin Garwood, a triple black belt holder, has developed special cane work courses to help people over 50 stand up to thugs. The course is based on martial arts from around the world that use the sabre and staff, adapted specifically for cane users with limited mobility. Typical moves include throws, takedowns and neck hooks, which use the crook of the stick for locks and strangleholds.
Which story do you think is False?
