German Man Temporarily Possessed by the Ghost of Hunter S. Thompson

From the BBC comes the strangest, most awesome lead paragraph I’ve ever read in a news story:

A German student “mooned” a group of Hell’s Angels and hurled a puppy at them before escaping on a stolen bulldozer, police have said.

Anyone have an example of an opening paragraph that can top that?
