"Court allows suspected terrorist to name son Jihad."

You just can't make this stuff up. A word of background: Germany won't allow you to name your kid just any old thing. "Moon Unit" or "Dweezil" (the children of the late musician Frank Zappa) wouldn't fly there. That's why this dispute ended up in court.

Little Jihad has a great future, I'm sure.

Sometimes you can't tell the difference between real news stories and stories in "The Onion," the weekly satirical newspaper.

"Perfectly preserved 300-year-old broom found in monk latrine." No shit. It's a real story.
