‘Contour Crafting equipment, apparently, can already create a six-foot concrete wall without any human input. It does this by putting down smooth, neatly-trimmed layers of concrete one on top of another “in a process analogous to inkjet printing”. Rather than ink, however, the heads on this equipment dispense “concrete, clay or adobe”, which is smoothed as it goes along using an array of trowel attachments.’

Prison guards grew suspicious when they saw “four prisoners visibly intoxicated shortly after the pigeon landed on a prison window,” said Josip Pojavnik, deputy warden of Zenica prison.
The pigeon was a pet of one of the inmates. When he and three other prisoners in jail tested positive for heroin, disciplinary proceedings were launched.
It is thought that the drugs were stuffed into tiny bags and attached to the pigeon’s legs.
“We suspect that the pigeon carried the drugs from Tuzla”, a town around 70 kilometres more than 40 miles northeast of Zenica in central Bosnia, added Pojavnik.
The pigeon is now in custody while police investigate who might have loaded it with drugs.
