SOMEONE THREW A COIN AT RIO FERDINAND
It hit him in the face and made him bleed
(via)While Rio Ferdinand was celebrating team mate Robin Van Persie's goal against rivals Manchester City, someone threw a 2p coin from the crowd, hitting Ferdinand above the eye and making him bleed.Whoever threw the coin presumably practices lobbing small objects at distant targets as hard as they can on a daily basis.While Ferdinand was recovering, a Man City fan jumped on to the pitch and started storming towards him, but goalkeeper Joe Hart stopped the man before he could reach Rio.After the match, Ferdinand tweeted "Whoever threw that coin, what a shot! Can't believe it was a copper 2p… could have at least been a £1 coin!"Mixology
A BAR IN HACKNEY WAS RAIDED FOR INFUSING A COCKTAIL WITH WHALE SKIN
Which seems like a really weird thing to infuse a cocktail with
(via)Bar Nightjar on City Road was raided by police after it emerged that they'd been serving whiskey infused with strips of whale skin.The raid is bad news for people who like their alcohol to taste like fish, because – under EU law – the hunting and trading of whales is illegal, making the "Moby Dick" cocktail illegal, too.The bar said it was unaware that selling dead whale parts was illegal until the police notified them.Bad Planning

VIETNAMESE AUTHORITIES STOPPED AN ANTI-CHINA PROTEST
They told them it was alright, then changed their minds and arrested 20 people
(via)Vietnamese police broke up two separate anti-China protests and detained 20 people in the first demonstrations since tensions flared up again between the neighbouring countries over the oil-rich South China Sea.Police allowed around 200 protesters to march, then changed their minds half an hour in and ordered everyone to disperse.Any sign of popular public anger is a threat to the Vietnamese Communist party and, over loudspeakers, authorities told protesters "Your gathering causes disorder and affects the party's and government's foreign policy."No one's very happy about police shutting down the party, obviously, with many activists taking to the internet to voice their discontent.Fantastic Marksmanship
