MY favourite story of the day falls into the "you couldn't make it up category".
A man in Georgia accidentally shot his mother-in-law after the bullet bounced off an armadillo.
Larry McElroy,54, fired his pistol at the armadillo but the bullet ricocheted off its armour, hit a fence, went through the back of Carol Johnson's caravan and hit her in the back. She is expected to make a good recovery.
The story will feature in our daily Headline Challenge with BBC Tees, with the headline: Is this the way to harm-a-dillo.
I think I may now retire because it doesn't get any better.
