6-legged Swiss calf uncowed by disability

GENEVA

A six-legged calf has defied the odds by thriving despite a vet’s prediction at birth that it wouldn’t survive.

Seven-week-old Lilli is now a minor celebrity in her native Switzerland after local media were splashed with images of the calf frolicking across a sunny field.

Farmer Andreas Knutti from Weissenburg, 19 miles south of the capital Bern, says he couldn’t bring himself to euthanize the animal because she was “so full of life.”

He told Swiss daily Blick on Thursday that a curve in her spine means Lilli may never become a normal milk cow.

But Knutti says if the calf stays healthy she’ll still be allowed to join the others when they head for their Alpine pastures this summer.

Utah teens’ naked run inspired by ‘American Pie’

OGDEN, Utah

Four Utah teens armed with a BB gun told deputies they were inspired by a scene from an “American Pie” movie when they went running naked through an Ogden-area neighborhood.

Authorities said Wednesday the teens were spotted streaking in the residential community about 45 minutes north of Salt Lake City about 2 a.m. Sunday.

When a deputy responded, a 17-year-old girl ducked behind a tree; the three teenage boys kept running and were found shortly after.

The teens said they brought the BB gun because they feared they would be attacked by deer during the jog.

Deputies notified the teens’ parents and let them off with a warning.

The 2006 film “American Pie: The Naked Mile” features a high-school student who wants to join a college campus’ tradition of running a mile naked.
