Featured News 1: False teeth snare robber
An Argentinean robber was caught after he lost his false teeth during a raid on a house.
Juan Navarro, from Cordoba, saw one of the three masked men who held him up lose his dentures, reports Terra Noticias Populares.
In his hurry to escape with jewelry and cash, the robber left the false teeth behind and Mr. Navarro handed them over to the police.
Two days after the robbery, Mr. Navarro noticed his own nephew suddenly seemed to have lost his teeth.
A police spokesman said: "Mr. Navarro came straight to us and we had the denture analysed. It turns out it belongs to his nephew.
"What a funny thing to happen. Caught by a denture! Unbelievable!"

Featured News 2: Hotel chain offers beds for pets
One of Britain's biggest hotel chains has decided to offer pets their very own beds.
Travelodge says the move is aimed at customers who cannot bear to be parted from their cats and dogs.
The special 2ft 6in long by 2ft wide pet beds will be tried out at hotels in Newcastle upon Tyne, Liverpool, Birmingham and Nottingham.
It comes after a survey of Travelodge's customers showed almost two thirds hated leaving their pets behind when they were away from home.
Wayne Munnelly, Travelodge's sleep director, said: "For a long time, we have allowed customers to bring their cats and dogs with them when they stay with us.
"Now we are adding a little bit extra for those who want to spoil their furry friends by giving them their very own bed.''
Guests will be allowed two pets per room at a cost of £10 each per stay.

Featured News 3: 71 languages spoken at school
A Secondary school in London has pupils that speak in 71 different languages.
Southfields Community College in Wandsworth, has pupils from around the world and speak no English.
The school has 1,300 UK and foreign pupils aged 11-18 - and 550 of these arrived in Britain speaking no English.
The pupils were first given a crash course in English before being slowly introduced into mainstream classes.
Among the languages spoken are Arabic, Kurdish, Farsi (from Afghanistan) Kazak (Kazakhstan), Croatian, Zulu (South Africa), Swahili (Kenya) and Krio (Sierra Leone).
According to The Sun Headteacher Jacqueline Valin said: "We've had an increase in the number of pupils from abroad but there has never been a problem with the racial mix. These children have a burning desire to learn."
Despite the language barrier the school's exam results are improving.
The proportion of pupils getting five Cs or better at GCSE rose from 27 per cent in 2002 to 38 per cent last year.
