Archaeologists in China have uncovered seven ancient bronze dildos in a Han Dynasty tomb.

The Straits Times quotes the Beijing Morning Post as saying this is the first time so many have been unearthed from that era (206 BC - AD 25).

The dildos were cast from a mould, suggesting they were made by a specialist artisan.

Archaeologists say the dildos uncovered in Xian could have been used by eunuchs.

They also say palace maids may have used them on sexually-deprived imperial concubines.

They expect to find more dildoes in the city in north-western Shaanxi province.

It's a REAL news story I swear!:

A beer-loving bear has been tricked into going on the wagon after locals in a Bosnian village grew tired of his drunken 'singing'.

The bear, named Mrki by the villagers of Dobratic, got a taste for beer after finding half-drunk cans left over by the locals.

But villagers decided to trick him into drinking non-alcoholic beer after they tired of him spending his nights 'singing' in a nearby meadow.

Tadija Sugic, who owns a coffee shop in the village, said: "It got to the stage of him drinking up to 20 cans of beer a day and getting drunk.

"We tried to give him soft drinks like cola and orange, but he just didn't like them so we decided to trick him with non-alcoholic beer - and it's worked a treat. He loves it."

The two-year-old bear has lived in the meadow close to the village since an early age after hunters killed his mother.

Since then the villagers have fed him and Sugic said: "He is so tame that you can sit down and enjoy a beer with him without fear that he will turn aggressive."

That bear wouldn't fit in with the crowd of the bar I used to hang in at all.
