Oddest newspaper headline of the year?

'A transvestite had sex with a dog in the moat of an English Heritage castle.'

From The Telegraph comes that headline and the bizarre story:

'The cross-dressing man was caught with the animal in the dry moat of King Henry VIII's Pendennis Castle overlooking Falmouth Bay in Cornwall.

The 33-year-old mounted the pet after it chased him out of sight of its woman owner.

The owner had been walking around the ancient castle with a friend when the pair spotted the lone transvestite on the morning of Saturday July 10th at around a quarter to twelve.

He was wearing a black dress and walking around the steep-walled, empty moat.

As the two ladies spotted the cross dresser he ran away. Later one of the dogs chased after the man; by the time the women had caught up, the man was having sex with the pet.

Castle staff then restrained the man while police were called. '

I did enjoy this comment from a spokesman for English Heritage "This was a very rare incident"; yes I would think it was.
