A Chinese man is divorcing his wife for pulling a prank that went too far.

Mr. Lin, of Shanghai, returned home on April 1st from a business trip to find a black object swinging in the air upon opening the front door.

He reached over and turned on the light only to discover that the black object was his wife, who had hanged herself.

The shocked man immediately called the police and the property officer. Office staff helped Lin bring the body down while they waited for the police.

“Suddenly, she sat up, started to laugh hysterically, and said this was my April Fool’s Day present,” Lin said angrily.

His wife, Han, a 26-year-old actress, played jokes on him all the time.

“I just try to surprise him everyday,” she said.

But for Lin, her fake suicide was the last straw.

“I feel as if I’m sitting on a bomb everyday. We’re getting divorced!

“I can’t stand the jokes and games anymore. She hides the dishes in the washing machine, or changes the lock on the door, so that I can only enter by giving the correct answer to some stupid questions, and so on.”

This woman sounds annoying. Whatever happened to surprising your man with sexy lingerie and the like?

Conan, a 7-year old bull terrier, was placed behind bars for some time, Monday, after stealing food from a Norwegian gas station.

And it wasn’t his first time.

His owner Liss-Hege Jeremiassen said: “He is incredibly fond of food in general and sweets in particular. He has run off a few times before and he always heads for food stores.”

Conan had snuck out of the house Wednesday night to the nearby gas station, picked out his favorite treat, a chocolate-covered rice crisp, and ate it as the cameras captured the whole thing.

“When he was finished he let out this enormous burp,” said store employee Elisabeth Roel.

She had attempted to chase the dog out but gave up after he growled at her. She then called the police, who handed the job over to Falken security.
