Finn caught in lift
The Finnish president, Martti Ahtisaari, became stuck in a lift while visiting a school. The lift, intended for disabled children, could not cope with the weight of the president, his wife Eeva, and two aides. "The elevator worked again as soon as we got rid of Eeva," said Mr Ahtisaari, who weighed in at 286lbs at last year's presidential contest.
