DUBLIN - Masked men stole eight rhino horns from the National Museum of Ireland with a street value of about 500,000 euros ($650,000), officials said Thursday. The gang of three broke into the museum archives building in Dublin late on Wednesday, tied up a security guard and loaded four rhino heads -- each with two horns --- onto a van, police said.

In the aftermath of the European horsemeat scandal, a private investigation was launched in London that randomly tested the DNA of menu items being served as take-out across the city. But instead of finding just more horsemeat (which they did), the investigators stumbled upon a variety of dubiously mixed meat dishes, as well as a mystery meat. The mystery meat dish in question, listed as a spicy lamb curry, turned out NOT to be lamb, but instead some unidentified substitute. It is definitely meat, but no one knows what type of meat - and the restaurant is not shedding any light on the matter. DNA analysis has now ruled out beef, chicken, pork, goat, horse and even human flesh. So what is ...

We've heard of folks trying to steal art, diamonds and gold bricks ... but eels? According to Fox News, a New Hampshire man was caught by Maine's Marine Patrol attempting to smuggle $80,000 worth of baby eels. Unable to produce a license for the oodles of little sea creatures, Phillip Parker was taken into custody for illegal possession. Officials believe it is the biggest incident of illegal eel possession seen by the Marine Patrol and several other fisheries. Authorities recovered 41 pounds of eels from Parker, which is a small fortune of slippery stuff since these eels are selling for $2,000 a pound. If the man is found guilty, he will likely receive a $2,000 fine. Legislature is ...

An elephant with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was shot by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting, according to the Daily Mail U.K. Carol, a 39-year-old Asian elephant, was in her pen outside the BancorpSouth Arena in Tupelo, Miss., early Tuesday morning at around 2 a.m. when a single shot was fired into the enclosure from a vehicle driving by.

This is why keeping your receipt is important. According to the Daily Mail U.K., a sad fad has started up in Argentina's largest bazaar, La Salada, where ferrets on steroids are sold to visitors "disguised" as pure-bred toy poodles. The pseudo-dogs sell quickly because of what appears to be an amazing price for an in-demand canine. It is not until later that buyers realize they have been duped, and have spent hundreds of dollars on a pumped-up ferret. One tourist didn't find out he had been tricked until he took his two new "poodles" to the vet for checkups. The vet delivered a shocking diagnosis: The man purchased two ferrets that had been fed steroids since birth and specially groomed ...
