You don’t need petrol or even electricity to move large items anymore. Simply get yourself a human-powered forklift instead. Providing you’ve had a good hearty breakfast, you’ll be able to shift up to 30kg in no time. The forklift is ridden just like a bicycle, while a winch is used to lift objects of your choosing. You can even drive backwards by cycling in reverse. Made by Soceadth, the emissions-free, environmentally friendly Cycle Forklift (CF-100KG) costs 199,500 yen (£814/$1615).

Police say a gravedigger stole body parts including a skull and a thigh bone from broken casket at a church cemetery and took them home as smoking accessories. "While he was digging a grave, a casket was broken open, so (investigators) believe he took the body parts to make an ashtray and a pipe," Police Lt. Kevin O'Brien told the Sentinel & Enterprise of Fitchburg. He said a police report didn't identify the grave, which was at St. Bernard's Cemetery. Keith Chartrand, 30, of Fitchburg, also is accused of killing his wife's dog. Police charged him with removing a body from a grave and cruelty to animals. Fitchburg District Court Judge Arthur Haley III ordered Chartrand held on $50,000 bail at a court hearing on Wednesday where Chartrand told the judge the charge against him was "bogus."
