News That Sounds Like a Joke

• Dog ownership in Iran is frowned upon in many circles (dogs are considered "unclean"), but authorities took their biases to another level after a couple transferred the title to their apartment to their little white dog, Chester.

The couple have no heirs, and Chester "signed" with an ink-covered paw.

Yahoo! News reports, Iranian police "arrested the head of the real estate agency and shuttered the firm," according to deputy prosecutor general Reza Tabar.

The sale "seeks to normalize the violation of the society's moral values" and "has no legal basis."
