Wierd News from the Week

Hello there weird news followers, and welcome to the first installment of your weekly intake of the weird and wonderful news of the world.

First on the agenda, Ministers in the Maldives are taking a splash in a rather bizarre cabinet meeting.

President Mohamed Nasheed, and his other ministers all took the plunge for their televised meeting this week, in an attempt to draw attention to the effects of global warming.

Communicating using hand signals and whiteboards, the ministers signed a document urging all countries to cut their carbon emissions in a desk set up 6ft under the sea.

Luckily there weren't any sharks! check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odFmDiYWJ0M

Also on the weird news radar; want to win weapons and ammunition? Well these were the prizes given out in a Somali quiz this week.

The quiz, which ran during the month of Ramadan, composed of questions about the Koran and Somali Geography, giving young men the opportunity to"stop wasting their time, and start defending their territory" said an al-Shabab militant group member.

The winning team, reportedly won: a rifle, two grenades, a landmine and office supplies worth $1,000, while the runners up didn't go away empty handed, they got an AK-47 complete with bullets.

Let's just hope there weren't any sore losers!

Finally, if your female, living in Hungary and have had plastic surgery, well nows your time to shine! It's only "Miss Plastic Surgery" that well known beauty pageant!

Competitors got to celebrate all things fake and beautiful, in the event and the winner bagged herself an apartment in Budapest. Lovely.

Well that's it for this week, I'll be rooting around for some more bizarre beauties for next time.
