Japanese restaurant's unusual rule:

At this cafe, you get what the person before you ordered. The next person gets what you ordered.
What a wonderful, bizarre idea (especially if you ignore the unresolved question of what the first customer of the day receives.) When you order, say, an ice cream and coffee, you pay for them and find a seat. In a few minutes, you're called to the counter where you pick up, you guessed it, not an ice cream and coffee. You receive whatever the person before you in line ordered.
So what's to keep people from ordering an inexpensive item and hoping the person before them was a high-roller? Well, I guess shame.
Also, the cafe has a few rules. Among them:
Treat the next person. What to treat them with? It's your choice.
No buying twice in a row.
Please enjoy what you get, even if you hate it. (If you really, really hate it, quietly give it to another while saying, "It's my treat...")

Boy brings bull to school for show your pet day

The seven-year-old farmer’s son brought his 16-month-old champion Charolais, called Hallbankgate Dragon, to show off to classmates at Hallbankgate School, near Brampton.
The school’s acting head teacher Chris Thompson said: “Two pupils from class one and two are pulled out of the hat each week to be a VIP, who can wear their own clothes, are introduced to visitors to the school, and they are entitled to bring in their most precious possession, and this is Thomas’s.
“We had the vicar’s dog, and a couple of guinea pigs, but I don’t know how anybody is going to beat this unless they have an elephant.”
Pupils from the school were invited to look at Dragon, who has won a series of top prizes at this year’s county shows, while Thomas and his parents Ian and Sophie Bell answered their questions about the animal.
Thomas said: “I brought him in because I could show off his trophies.
“I thought about bringing in Tilly, our puppy, but it would have tried to bite everyone and the bull was safer.”
Unfortunately, Dragon couldn’t be brought into the classroom, so the children went out to look at the beast, which is likely to continue growing and could reach around one-and-a-half tons, on the village green.
Mum Sophie added: “The children were very excited. The school secretary said normally they issue consent forms to leave the school premises and struggle to get them back, but this time they had all the forms in straight away.”

Paralyzed dog walks again

A dog who was paralyzed has taken his first steps after pioneering treatment by scientists at Cambridge University. Experts hope the procedure could eventually be used to help humans with severe spinal injuries after its success in getting Henry back on his feet.
Henry, a smooth-haired Miniature Dachshund, was unable to walk after discs ruptured in his spine last November.
Now the six-year-old dog is walking and wagging his tail after scientists at Cambridge Veterinary School took cells from his nose and injected them back into his spine.
"It's incredible, I didn't think Henry would ever be able to walk again, but over the last few months he has been wagging his tail and taking small steps," said owner Sarah Beech, 34, from Birmingham.
"The vet told me to put him to sleep because he wouldn't have a very good quality of life and he was very depressed. But this treatment has really helped."
Henry had always enjoyed going for walks but suddenly lost the use of his legs about a year ago.
"One day he yelped when I picked him up and two days later he couldn't walk," she added.
Henry was given an operation to ease the pressure on his spine, but it didn't work.
Then Sarah heard about the new treatment for severe spinal cord injuries and decided to enlist him in the trial.

ND woman's 7-foot-long dog

Dog Drinks from Kitchen Faucet
No big deal, right? Any dog can jump on the counter and, if the water faucet is open, drink from it...Boomer may be a buster: Measuring 7 feet long from nose to destructive wagging tail; he might be the world's tallest living dog. Owner Caryn Weber says her 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen faucet in her family's eastern North Dakota farm house.
Boomer stares into car windows eye to eye with drivers. A 20-pound bag of dry dog food lasts the 180-pound canine a couple of weeks.
Weber says her furry black and white dog "comes into the house and his tail is so high everything gets knocked around."
