President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Med-vedev made a surprise visit to a hamburger spot outside the US capital today.
Travelling by motorcade, the two Presidents decided to go on a burger run for lunch. They ventured to Ray's Hell Burger - the same restaurant where Mr Obama once ventured with vice president Joe Biden.
A cheer went up from customers when the presidents went in.
The lunch journey came after Mr Obama and Mr Medvedev held meetings at the White House. (AP)
Tracked President with rifle telescope
Two Czech teenagers got in serious trouble after tracking Czech President Vaclav Klaus through a rifle scope from a rooftop as he visited their town, the DNES newspaper reported yesterday.
The 19-year-olds from the eastern Czech city of Olomouc said they had brought the air rifle equipped with a telescope to the roof to get a better view of the President during his visit last week. One of them took the telescope off the rifle to look at Klaus, while the other aimed at different targets with the rifle for kicks - putting the President's bodyguards on alert.
"We lay there for 10 or 15 minutes and watched. Then some guys in suits started pointing at us. We got scared and rushed back to the flat," one of the boys was quoted as saying.
Police tracked the two down quickly and led them off in handcuffs, but the youths are likely to get away with what they called "a silly prank" as the air rifle was not in working order. (AFP)
Call waiting
A man who flew from Dubai and queued on a London street for 32 hours to be the first in line to buy the new iPhone 4 had his efforts dashed when Apple allowed internet pre-order customers ahead of him.
Alex Lee, 27, who headed a 500-strong queue outside the Regent Street store, said he would write to Apple chief executive officer Steve Jobs to complain. But he eventually got his handset, saying: "It's amazing. Absolutely worth it, every second of it." (PA)
Man's best fiend
A Florida man was run over by his own truck after his dog put it into gear.

Headless chicken ad mocks French team
Sony took a cheeky swipe at France's disastrous World Cup team with a full-page newspaper ad for PlayStation showing a cock with its head blown off above the words "Game Over". The video game console ad did not make specific reference to the team, but the cock is a clear reference to an unofficial symbol of France which features on French footballers' jerseys.
The headless bird was a photo-montage and "no animal was killed", noted the small print at the bottom of the ad on the back page of Liberation newspaper.
L'Equipe sports newspaper said last week that for failing to dump the national squad's coach Raymond Domenech, the French football badge should "no longer be the cock but the headless chicken". (AFP)
Thumb achievement
Some people will go to any lengths to get to the World Cup - including hitch-hiking to South Africa from London.
Andrew Grady, 33, a musician from South Shields, set off from London on April 25 and got into England's Slovenia match using a ticket belonging to Pavlos Joseph, the fan who stumbled into the team's dressing room after the game against Algeria.
Mr Grady, who has travelled through France, Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo and Benin, Nigeria and Botswana, said: "The World Cup is the biggest human jamboree on earth, so I couldn't think of a better destination to aim for." (PA)
Old timer
A 75-year-old British grandfather aims to beat his own record of being the oldest person to finish an ultra-marathon in the US billed as the world's hottest endurance race.
