Ducks halt traffic Wife, advice columnist suspect man of cheating Ninjas needed in Japan
Aparade of ducks halted traffic for an hour after they wandered on to the motorway.
The group of 30 birds caused delays on the M25 between J19 and J20 near Watford last Wednesday, as Highways England blocked the road so the feathery visitors could be guided to safety.

Awife suspected her husband was cheating on her because of his buzz cut and change of clothes — and a relationship expert agreed with her.
The woman was worried her man was being unfaithful after he got a new haircut, and developed a sudden interest in fashion, leaving her concerned for their romance.
Writing to the love life guru at Mosman Daily, she said: “Recently he’s become secretive about his phone — he never leaves it lying around anymore back on to the motorway another three times.
Thankfully, the birds are all said to be safe, and there were no casualties in the adorable — albeit inconvenient — incident. and he’s changed the password.
“He has also started buying himself trendy new outfits (which look ridiculous) and he’s sporting a new buzz cut. I’ve never been one to snoop, but I’m sorely tempted.”
Rather than putting her mind at ease, the relationship expert actually agreed with her.
Val Edwards, who runs the column Suspicious Mind, responded: “If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck it probably is a duck!”
Atattoo addict with 90 per cent of his body covered in black ink has had his genitals removed. The 32-year-old man from Kaliningrad in Russia started to tattoo his body – including his eyeballs –after being diagnosed with cancer, and Adam Curlyale has decided his manhood “interfered with the aesthetic enjoyment” of his darkened physique.

Japan is recruiting ninjas due to a mass shortage in the city of Iga. The area prides itself on being part of the origin of ninja, but in the modern world it appears that numbers are falling.
In an episode of NPR’s Planet Money, Sally Herships visited the city and said: “There’s a ninja shortage. Or, to be accurate, a ninja-performer shortage.”
Each year, Iga is a hotbed for tourists hitting the area for the annual ninja festival, but the city is struggling with an ageing, depleting population itself, as many of its younger people are lured to the big cities rather than staying in rural Japan.
This means there aren’t enough ninjas in the area, which could damage Iga because of its heavy reliance on tourism brought by the festival.
The salary for a ninja — who must be highly skilled — can range from £18,000 to £65,000, according to the mayor.
