Staff at train stations in the UK have seen their fair share of surprising incidents but very few of them would be able to claim witnessing a goat calmly waiting for a train like their counterparts in Switzerland have just done.

Normally the only strange thing you witness at a station is your train arriving on time but if you happened to be a worker at one in Pratteln, Switzerland, you were treated to an appearance by a farmyard animal.

Baffled workers at the station were shocked when they found a goat waiting in one of their rooms.

Even more astonishing was that the animal was calm and seemed like he was used to travelling by public transport.

Officers managed to track down the owner of the goat after locating an identity chip under its skin.

'We don't know how he got there or what he thought he was waiting for but he's back in his field now,' said a police spokesman.

In the aftermath of the fiscal-cliff deal, Republicans in Congress issued a heartfelt apology to the top 1.5 per cent richest people in America, offering "messages of profound condolence" for allowing their taxes to increase slightly.

"Our hearts go out to them," said House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), still teary-eyed after hanging up the phone with a multimillionaire in Orange County, California. "We came to Washington to do the work of 1.5 per cent of the American people, and we didn't get it done."

The House Speaker said that he had spoken to several members of the top 1.5 per cent who were "understandably despondent" over seeing their taxes rise marginally as a result of the deal: "Some of them were so upset they even considered moving to Canada, until they found out the taxes were higher there."

Mr. Boehner said that he tried to offer the wealthy consolation by reminding them that because of an increase in payroll taxes, millions of middle-class and working-class Americans would be suffering more than they would: "That usually put them in a better mood."

It's a long-forgotten sight that left people blinking almost in disbelief - yes, the sun finally reappeared over Shropshire yesterday.

Following weeks of cloud, wind and rain, the New Year heralded a new dawn in Shropshire as an old friend returned to the skies over the county.

After the wettest on record by the Met Office, the sun made a spectacular reappearance on the first day of 2013. This shot shows what we have been missing as bright orange rays light up the hills below. Temperatures stayed chilly, reaching just 6C (43F), but are expected to pick up towards the weekend when highs of 11C (52F) are forecast.

But the county's sunny reprieve is not expected to last for very long.

Met Office officials predict the pleasant weather will remain until Saturday, before cloud returns and temperatures begin to drop again.

By the end of next week the rain could return while the mercury will peak at 7C (45F).

It is a far cry from this time last year when the county was covered in a blanket of snow with problems on the roads and the rail network.

A young boy's lost bicycle has led to a unique piece of natural roadside art on Washington state's Vashon Island, over 50 years later.

Traveling off of Vashon Highway, about 50 feet into the woods behind the local Sound Food Café, travelers will come across a peculiar site - an intact, 1950s-era bicycle embedded into a tree.

In 1954 Helen Puz had been recently widowed when she received the bike as a gift from someone in the community, according to Discover Washington State.

"People were very sympathetic and generous," Puz reportedly wrote in a document on display at the Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Museum. "We were given a girl's bike and my 8-year-old son Don seemed the natural one to ride it."

The next time you, or someone you know, is having trouble with a temperamental bird just be glad the little feathered bugger isn't screaming out a bunch of obscenities!

A zoo in Hubei, China got a big surprise when their Myna bird started screaming obscenities, which it had picked up from one of the zoo's guests according to zookeeper Li Yun, and had to be removed from display until his vocabulary could be deemed appropriate for all ages.

The bird may not be zoo friendly, but he has a great career ahead of him as an insult comic.

In this video, a falcon feeds scraps of meat to a patiently waiting dog. Both the dog and the falcon appear to be pets, as they are both on leashes, and you can hear people talking in the background.

So what has compelled the falcon to share a meal with another species? Some readers have speculated that both animals may be used to hunt with their human owners and could have formed a bond over that time. Also, the falcon does not appear to be particularly hungry, meaning it has extra food and is falling back on maternal instincts.

One reader guessed that the falcon is a gyrfalcon and that the dog is a breed of saluki, both of which are commonly used for hunting.

The 1950 Pennsylvania Railroad calendar never made it to James W. Flanagan, general manager of The Scranton Times.

He would never need it: he died in December 1949. But on Friday, 63 years after his death, the U.S. Postal Service made a delivery.

A mail carrier, with no explanation of where the package had been the last 63 years, handed it to Chris O'Hora at The Times-Tribune's front desk. The calendar, rolled in a long tube, soon made its way to the office of Bobby Lynett, a publisher of The Times-Tribune and CEO of Times-Shamrock Communications.

Mr. Flanagan was The Scranton Times' general manager from 1936 to his death in 1949 at the age of 63. He had a 54-year career at the paper, starting as a salesboy in 1895. The calendar includes a holiday greeting from an executive at the railroad company, dated the same month Mr. Flanagan died.

On Friday, Mr. Lynett gently rolled the large calendar out on his conference table, curious about its origin and more curious about where it had been the past 63 years.

Ray Daiutolo, a spokesman for the Postal Service, said lost mail is sometimes found when a machine is dismantled or a post office space renovated. Other times, someone may find a stamped but unmailed letter or package at a yard sale and then drop it in the mail, he said. Mr. Daiutolo was unable to trace the package's history on Friday.

A dolphin trainer in the Ukraine has taught one of his wards to do something quite unusual.

Gosha - a 15-year-old Black Sea bottlenose dolphin - can now leap out of the water and crawl up to 10 metres on his belly.

Bogdan Dolgy first came across the idea when Gosha tried to get out of the water and crawl on it own during the summer.

"After I noticed that I fixed it in his mind, gave him some fish and he liked it, and now it happens all the time, after every stunt he is swimming and splashing his tail on the surface of the water."

"If compared to a human it's perhaps like making a human climb a tree like a monkey or swim like a fish."

The trainer thinks Gosha was trying to imitate humans when it first began to crawl.

A Barrow County sheriff's deputy encountered a burglary case on Saturday possibly more suited to a ghost hunter.

Though she perhaps should have called the Ghostbusters, the theft victim instead told local deputies that a ghost stole from her.

The 40-year-old Winder woman reported stolen her resume, criminal history and a blouse sometime during the past two weeks, according to a Barrow County sheriff's report.

When the deputy asked the woman if she knew anyone who might take the items, she said a ghost or spirt because the ghost of her mother often visits. However, she told the deputy she also occasionally sees a black spirit roaming near her home.

According to the report, the woman valued her resume at $5,000 and the criminal history at $10.
