Historic Swiss unity stone stolen

BBC

A historic stone symbolising Swiss national unity has been stolen from a hotel in the central Swiss city of Interlaken where it was on display.

The 80kg (165lb) stone, called Unspunnenstein, had already been stolen once in 1984, by an underground group from the francophone region of Jura.

It was to be the centrepiece of a festival due to take place next month.

The event, which includes yodelling, Alphorn playing, dancing and wrestling in lederhosen, revolves around and is named after the traditional stone-throwing competition.

1. Cheezus, is nothing sacred?

I mean, in an age when a "man" with a shameful AWOL record can become the so-called commander in chief of the world's largest army...and now this.

Next thing you know someone will steal the Sacred Codpiece from the Skull & Boner headquarters krypt. Wouldn't that cheeze off the Bush family & their Republican cronies.
