North Korean scientist flees to Finland with gigabytes of data on inhumane experiments with biochemical weapons, will testify before European parliament later this month

A North Korean scientist with expertise in biochemical weaponry defected from his home country in June and has been spending his time in Finland.

The 47-year-old left with 15 gigabytes worth of data and information regarding human experimentation, which he felt may have crossed ethical boundaries according to Yonhap News Agency.

The researcher plans to present and hand over the information to the European parliament later this month.

The South Korean Defense Ministry recently issued warnings of biochemical threats coming from the North including the likes of anthrax and smallpox.
 
Missing comma gets grammar nerd out of parking ticket

An appeals court tossed an Ohio woman's parking citation because the grammar in a village law was unclear.

The Associated Press reports that Andrea Cammelleri received a parking citation for leaving her pickup truck parked in an area for longer than 24 hours.

According to a law in the village of West Jefferson, certain types of vehicles cannot be parked longer than 24 hours, including "any motor vehicle camper, trailer, farm implement and/or non-motorized vehicle." That's "motor vehicle camper" instead of "motor vehicle, camper."

Cammelleri argued that her truck does not fit the description because of the missing comma between "vehicle" and "camper."

Though the village claims that in context, the meaning of the law is clear enough, Judge Robert Hendrickson of the 12th Ohio District Court of Appeals sided with Cammelleri, noting that the village should amend the issue.
