Scriptural boffin Dr Dirk Obbink (above) has been arrested on suspicion of stealing priceless ancient papyrus biblical fragments from a collection held at Oxford University

Even in Oxford’s top echelon
They don’t pay that much to a Don
So it’s alleged that Dirk
Took papyrus from work
To the States, and then he sold it on

Baldwin Street in Dunedin, New Zealand (left) has controversially reclaimed the title of the ‘world’s steepest hill’ from Ffordd Pen Llech in Harlech, Wales (right)

In Harlech they have a steep street
Which the locals thought couldn’t be beat
Till a Kiwi appeal
Made the judging team feel
Inclined to rewrite the rule sheet
