Zambia Tired Of Being Mentioned In 'News Of The Weird' Section

LUSAKA, ZAMBIA—Zambian president H.E. Levy P. Mwanawasa publicly chastised Reuters and 10 other news organizations Monday for featuring Zambia in their “news of the weird” sections. “Zambia has a rich cultural history well beyond the man who can swallow razor blades,” Mwanawasa said. “Either feature something about Zambia besides dodecatuplets, or don’t feature Zambia at all.” Interestingly, in addition to being the Zambian leader, Mwanawasa is also the proud owner of the world’s longest soda-can pull-tab chain.
