Joseph Waweru cannot reach into his pocket for change, get into fights and he certainly won’t be washing his own clothes.

Sacrifices must be made to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for the world’s longest nails. Joseph Waweru and his 1.3 foot long, lacquered nails are famous in Mombasa.

He is a tourist attraction of sorts, earning anything from KES 2500 ($28) to KES 5000 ($56) per day. In an interview with Nairobi News, Waweru said: “I apply nail polish with the colours of the Kenya flag because most tourists, who want to take a photo with me like my n

The teenager and her elder sister Meenakshi Kumari, who is 23, will also be paraded through the streets naked with blackened faces, according to an unelected all-male village council.

The Kumaris are Dalits, or untouchables, at the very bottom of India's ancient

Jilted woman sets boyfriend penis on fire

One man learned a very valuable lesson after cheating on his girlfriend: If you're going to be unfaithful, don't leave your appendages vulnerable to a fiery attack.

After finding out that her man had slept with her co-worker, an unknown woman decided to get some payback - against the very body part he had strayed with. While he was sleeping, she snuck up on him, with a camera running, and set the underwear he was wearing on fire. - In a 30-second clip shared by Elite Daily, the man is seen fast asleep in a white bed wearing just underwear and a pair of high socks.

A woman, presumably his girlfriend or wife, whose face cannot be seen, carefully and quietly removes the blanket that is partially covering him. She then opens a bottle of nail polish remover and slowly pours some of the liquid over the groin area of his underwear.

With a long lighter, she sets the front of his underwear on fire. It only burns for about a second before her boyfriends jolts awake, screaming and batting at the flames.

'You cheating on me with my f***ing co-worker, you didn't think I was gonna find out?' she is heard saying as he rolls over and moans, holding his crotch. 'Get your s*** and get the f*** out,' she says, as he falls off the bed and stumbles off camera. She's certainly not the first scorned woman whose lover has faced hell this year.

In April, a Japanese woman got revenge on her cheating boyfriend by destroying thousands of dollars worth of technology. Furious over his infidelity, she tossed his iMac desktop computer, Mac laptop, iPhone, iPad, and other gadgets into a bathtub full of water. The heartbroken man then shared images of his destroyed Apple collection on Twitter.

Bird carrying cocaine and marijuana arrested for drug dealing

A homing pigeon was intercepted by police at a prison near San Jose, Costa Rica, after it was seen by a guard landing in the jail’s courtyard with a bag tied to its body.

On inspection, the black zipper bag was found to contain 14g of cocaine and the same amount of marijuana. Authorities suspect the bird was looked after and fed by an inmate in the medium-security wing of La Reforma prison, Costa Rica’s biggest penitentiar, before someone smuggled it out of the prison only to load it with illicit cargo ahead of its return route.

The director of Costa Rica’s prison police force told the media after the ruse had been exposed last Tuesday that the pigeon was able to fly perfectly well despite the drug-stuffed pouch strapped against its breast. Pablo Bertozzi, who said he had seen cases of cats being used to transport drugs strapped to their tails, added that the homing pigeon incident would lead to a redoubling of efforts to clean the jail of controlled substances.

 “The real problem is that there is a lot of consumption. If there weren’t consumers, the drugs wouldn’t be arriving”, Mr Bertozzi said. The bird, which has affectionately been nicknamed “narcopigeon” (narcopaloma) by Costa Ricans, has been handed over by the authorities to a zoo, where it is being kept under observation before being housed in a larger enclosure.

“Because of the way it came to us, it can never be freed,” a zoo worker told local media, adding that the bird was reluctant to eat, probably because it had become used to being hand-fed by one person. In 2011, prison guards in Bucaramanga, Colombia, found a pigeon attempting without success to fly over the wall into the jail laden with 45g of marijuana. Two years ago, police in Buenos Aires smashed a marijuana-trafficking ring which used pigeons as a risk-free manner to transport the drug to their home base.

Woman jailed for assaulting police officer with her breast

A woman has been sentenced to three and a half months in prison after being found guilty of using one of her breasts to assault a police officer. Ng Lai-ying, 30, was at a protest in Hong Kong in March when she claimed chief inspector Chan Ka-po had groped her left breast when he tried to grab her bag.

But instead, a court said she had used her chest to bump against his arm, and 'used her female identity to trump up the allegation that the officer had molested' her. Dozens of activists wearing bras picketed outside the police headquarters of Wan Chai in Hong Kong on Sunday for a 'breast
