"Japanese man arrested for releasing worms on trains to scare women"

Just about every line of this article is a classic:

"I wanted to see women get scared and shake their legs,'' police quoted 35-year-old Manabu Mizuta as saying.

"When the arrest was made, the man had nearly emptied a container, which is believed to have held 200 worms,'' he said. "You cannot count them because there are so many.''

"Mr Mizuta had 10 containers in his backpack estimated to contain a total of 3600 worms," police said. (Wait. I thought they couldn't count them. How did they get such a precise estimate? And why did they estimate 360 per container if the one he used only contained 200? The mystery deepens.)

"We have the worms sitting inside the police station right now,'' the spokesman said.
