3-Year-Old Buys Pink Convertible on Internet LONDON (Sept. 26) - Jack Neal briefly became the proud owner of a pink convertible car after he managed to buy it for 9,000 pounds, or $17,000, on the Internet despite being only three years old. Jack's mother told the BBC she had left her password for the eBay auction site in her computer and her son used the "buy it now" option to complete the purchase. "Jack's a whiz on the PC and just pressed all the right buttons," Rachel Neal said. The seller of the second-hand car, a dealer from Worcestershire, central England, was amused by the bid and agreed not to force the sale through. "Luckily he saw the funny side and said he would re-advertise," Neal said.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air."Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his sholder. "I'm a panda," he says, at the door. "look it up". The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "PANDA. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves." This was on the back of a book called "Eats, shoots and leaves" by Lynne Truss. Someone else is reading it and thought the panda thing was funny, so told me to share with others.
