Teens Accused of Making Ostrich Impotent

This Associated Press story comes from Germany, where three teenagers could face a hefty fine if a court finds their firecrackers scared the libido right out of an ostrich named Gustav.

The bird’s owner claims that fireworks set off by the boys made the previously lustful Gustav both apathetic and depressed, and thus unable to perform for a half-a-year with his two female breeding partners.

The farmer estimates he lost out on 14 ostrich offspring -- worth $460 apiece.

Here’s the full story.

No word if manufacturers of ED drugs are interested in helping Gustav.
