CAIRO (AFP) - An Egyptian donkey has been jailed for stealing corn on the cob from a field belonging to an agricultural research institute in the Nile Delta, local media reported on Thursday.

The ass and its owner were apprehended at a police checkpoint that had been set up after the institute's director complained that someone was stealing his crops, the state-owned Al-Ahram daily said.

The unnamed ungulate was found in possession of the institute's corn and a local judge sentenced him to 24 hours in prison. The man who had his ass thrown in jail got off with a fine of 50 Egyptian pounds (nine dollars, six euros).

I was contracting via a software house for Credit Lyonnaise Rotterdam. The bought a brand new VAX - £1m - were going to lease it via Atlantic computers. So they paid Digital £1m - then got a note from Atlantic saying they would receive £1m. But they paid them £1m instead - money received day before Atlantic went under (part of B&C bank?).
