September 26, 2007 -- A Massachusetts bar manager trying to give a break to a man claiming to be an Iraq war vet had his kindness thrown back in his face when it turned out the man was lying through his teeth.

Christopher Lee Proe, 23, ran up a $4,000 tab at Pufferbellies in Hyannis and convinced staffers to let him pay by check.

But the checks were as bogus as he was, authorities said.

The pub's manager said Proe took advantage of the bar's policy of giving military personnel special treatment.

Strange way to stage a protest.

A pet rabbit was stolen from a Spokane, Wash., preschool and fliers protesting circus animal acts were left in his empty cage.

"Somebody stoled him," said 5-year-old Zion. "I'm sad."

The fliers railed against Ringling Brothers Circus, which was in town at the time.

Hungary has come up with a novel way to bring prostitutes into legitimate society.

Officials say they will allow sex workers to apply for an entrepreneur's permit that will allow the government to collect taxes on their services.

Experts say the move could bring in $1 billion a year in revenue.

Prostitution has been legal in Hungary since 1999.

A top cricket player in Australia sank his marriage when he wrote racy text messages to his mistress - but accidentally sent them to his wife.

Shane Warne texted, "Hey, beautiful, I'm just talking to my kids - the back door's open."

But he sent it to the wrong number.

When his wife got the message, she texted back, "You loser, you sent the message to the wrong person."
