And Finally... Baby baptised with lemon cola
A baby was baptised by a priest with lemon cola after cold weather froze the church's taps in Norway.
A recent cold-spell in Stord, about 150 miles from the country's capital Oslo, forced church caretakers to turn off the taps so Priest Paal Dale improvised and used lemon-flavoured cola to baptise a baby.
He said the fizzy drink had gone flat and that "only the lemon smell made this unusual".
The child's family were informed after the ceremony because the priest "had the need to inform" them about the lemon scent.
"They didn't say much but I assumed they smelled the aroma as well," Father Paal said.
