Three stories. None of them necessary. All of them real.

First: condom prices are up 30 percent. The Iran conflict has disrupted supply chains for Karex, the company behind Durex and Trojan, which sources materials across Asia and Europe from factories in Malaysia and Thailand.

Second: a woman in the Australian outback fell into a pit latrine and spent four hours trapped waist deep before rescuers arrived. Extraction took 45 minutes. Her husband was present throughout. This has happened before.

Third: a 59 year old Oregon woman, a housing advocate with her own eviction history, arrived at a police eviction with a truck of bees. She released them on the deputies. She received six months. She is not sorry.
