Grandma Drifts Off To Sea After Posing On A Throne-Shaped Iceberg

Judith Streng from Texas was visiting Jökulsárlón Lagoon in Iceland with her son Rod Streng when she spotted a throne-shaped ice block.

"It was shaped like an easy place to sit. You can tell by looking at the shape of it, and I thought, 'Well it looks like fun,'" Judith told ABC News.

What the pair didn't predict was the giant wave that hit and dislodged Judith's perch - just moments after smiling for the camera, she found herself being carried off to sea while still sat atop the ice.

A kleptomaniac cat notorious for stealing items from its neighbours has "finally brought home something of real value" - £25.70 in cash.

Pilfering puss Theo became known for thieving Christmas decorations and toys in Ipswich, which owner Rachael Drouet would then try to return.

She had joked it might be useful if he brought home cash instead of "tat".

So he did. The eight-year-old Siamese cross stole the money a neighbour had left out for the milkman.
