Police in India this week arrested a pigeon on charges of spying for Pakistan. As BBC News reports,
the pigeon was taken into custody on Thursday after a 14-year-old boy
found it in a historically tumultuous region along the India-Pakistan
border. The bird, whose name has not been disclosed, reportedly had a
"stamped message" on its body that was partially written in Urdu. The
message also included a Pakistani phone number. An X-ray of the bird
didn't show anything out of the ordinary, but police have nevertheless
registered it as a "suspected spy" and are keeping it in custody.

A couple who were legally father and son for the last fifteen years had their adoption vacated and were married this week after 52 years together.

MacArthur, 74, and Bill Novak, 76, were married in Pennsylvania on
Sunday. The couple, who has been together since their 20s, registered as
domestic partners in New York City in 1994, but in 2000 they moved to
Erwinna, Penn., where domestic partnerships are not legally recognized.
“When we moved to Pennsylvania, we had both retired and we were of the
age where one begins to do estate planning,” MacArthur tells Yahoo
Parenting. “We went to a lawyer who told us Pennsylvania was never going
to allow same-sex marriage, so the only legal avenue we had in order to
be afforded any rights was adoption.”
