Woman Sneezes Out Live Bugs, UK's Genderless Digital ID Controversy, Russell Brand Forced to Sell His Pub, Horse Whipped to Victory Then Put Down & Handcuffed Husband 'Slips' Off Bahamas Police Boat

In India, a woman starts sneezing out live insects — doctors discover parasitic fly larvae had been living inside her nasal passages. The UK's new digital ID card system can scan your face and fingerprints, but won't tell you if the person is male or female — and Parliament is not happy about it. Russell Brand bought a country pub in Oxfordshire six years ago, tried to turn it into a recording studio, got blocked by the locals, and has now sold it for nearly a million pounds. At the Grand National Festival, a horse named Gold Dancer broke his back on the final hurdle — then was whipped across the finish line anyway for a £67,000 win, before being put down. And in the Bahamas, a man arrested in connection with his wife's disappearance somehow slips off a police boat into choppy water — while handcuffed. Five stories. All real. All strange. The Daily Strange — where truth is always weirder than fiction.
