What the fart? Man fined for farting 'with full intent' at police


BERLIN (AP): A man in Vienna has been fined 500 euros ($565) for breaking wind loudly in front of police - a move that the Austrian capital's police force was at pains to defend on Tuesday.

The Oesterreich newspaper reported that the fine stemmed from an incident on June 5 and that the offender was fined for "offending public decency."
