A flash mob of striking department store employees hits Stuttgart and leaves the store in chaos. What’s a flash mob? You’ll have to read the article. And how many times did it take for me to spell Stuttgart correctly? Four.

Workers at a small German computer company were fired for not smoking. Actually, they were fired for complaining about the smoke of coworkers:
