Italy

England took on Italy in the first round of the World Cup over the weekend. As time was winding down Saturday in Manaus, Brazil, England found itself down 2-1. After a free kick by Italy deflected off the crossbar and out of bounds, England's goalie, Joe Hart, was pretty anxious for his goal kick. Like really really anxious.

What’s a zonkey, you say? A zonkey (also known as a zedonk) is a cross between a zebra and a donkey. Florence, Italy received its very first zonkey a few days ago when Ippo was born at a nature reserve.

Soon Italy may have zero scientists. On Tuesday October 23, 2012 Italy had the bright idea to send six scientists and one former official to prison. Their reasoning was because they wanted the scientists to tell them something no one could have known.
