SCHOOL ASKS KIDS TO BRING THEIR OWN TOILET PAPER: A primary school in Ireland suffering from a deep recession has asked parents to send their kids to school with their own roll of toilet paper. The principal of the school claims that the letter sent out to parents was not a demand, but a request to help balance the school's budget.

At least half of the students have brought in their own toilet paper so far. (Reuters)
RACING FANS "LIMITED" TO 24 BEERS A DAY: Australian racing fans at the popular Bathurst 1000 were told that they would be limited to a "slab" (24 cans) of beer a day.
