AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A giant snowball stopped Dutch trains in their tracks Wednesday on a key route, and young pranksters thrilled by a rare snowfall were the prime suspects.

"The engine driver felt a smack and stopped the train. He walked back and reported a large snowball had rolled down the slope onto the rails," a spokesman for rail network operator ProRail said.

"We suspect it was pushed down the slope by some youths."

6. "Snidely Whiplash taken in for questioning, released on bond"

"I'm innocent of all charges!"

Okay, maybe it's a stretch. But Dudley Doright was the first thing that came to my mind. I have no idea why.

Oh, I don't know, I wouldn't exclude the possibility that a couple of geezers did the deed.

Is this a wet dream for a kid or what?
