BEAR COSTUME INSURANCE FRAUD GONE WRONG

A World War II veteran says he regrets fighting for Britain.
Half of young Brits say they wouldn't do it either. Jack and
Adam sit with that one longer than usual — and it turns into
the most honest five minutes the show's had.

Before that: Peter Mandelson's vetting got fast-tracked and
nobody in government wants to explain why, the UK is burning
through prime ministers faster than a Championship side burns
through managers, and Europe has roughly six weeks of jet fuel
left before flights start getting grounded for real.

Then it's robots. Beijing ran a half marathon with 300
humanoid robots in a separate lane, and one of them just beat
every human time on record.

Three men in America got sentenced
for dressing up in a bear suit and scratching their own Rolls
Royce with Wolverine claws to claim insurance. A wildlife
biologist was called in to confirm it wasn't a real bear.

The Top 5 is accidental discoveries that changed the world —
penicillin found in mouldy petri dishes, X-rays discovered by
a man who died of cancer, cosmic background radiation mistaken
for pigeon shit, and the reason nobody returned their Viagra
trial tablets.
