Supershorts trawls the best of Daily Shorts to wrap up the week in oddities.
There's changing shed pranks, like tying a teammate's shoelaces together, and then there's this, courtesy of USA Today and YouTube. Following his release from the Cleveland Indians this spring, baseballer Jeff Francoeur signed with the Padres and joined the Triple-A El Paso Chihuahuas. Upon his arrival in late March, Francoeur's teammates pretended that pitcher Jorge Reyes was deaf. First baseman Cody Decker made a film documenting the prank, in which everyone on the team mercilessly makes fun of Francoeur. Reyes went to extreme lengths to keep up the joke, making sure he never listened to music in front of Francoeur and staying mute in the clubhouse for weeks. Watch here.

Bit of wife-swapping going on between Argentines in the Serie A ... and it's not ending well for someone.
Mauro Icardi is now shacked up with Wanda Nara, the stunning ex-wife of Maxi Lopez. The two met last weekend when Lopez's Sampdoria played Inter Milan. In classic soccer style, Lopez refused Icardi's handshake, then went on to watch as his successor scored twice. If that wasn't bad enough, Lopez missed a penalty.
Insert your own, one-of-them-is-scoring-regularly joke in here.
Hot cross ban
You've got to feel for 3-year-old British boy Rooney Scholes. He's been banned from having his first name written on an Easter egg because of copyright rules, the Mirror reports.
His mum - surprise, surprise a Manchester United fan and owner of an Eric Cantona tattoo - said staff refused to write his first name on a customised Easter egg for fear of upsetting famous footballer and namesake Wayne Rooney.

There's absolutely nothing funny about famous sports stars and naked selfies.
Move over, it's a flying Dear Leader
While most of the world's long-distance eyes have been turned to the London and Boston marathons, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has been quietly staging its own running extravaganza.
This year the marathon was open to foreigners for the first time. But even the best the world could muster were no match for Dear Leader Kim Jong-un, who is said to have completed the 42km distance in 38 minutes, running at an average speed of just over 66km/h.
The time is amazing - the winner's time in this year's London marathon was 2h 4m 29s - but not altogether surprising. This is a family blessed with some of the best sporting genes the won (North Korean currency) can buy.
Remember, it is not too long ago that Jong-un's father Kim Jong-il stunned the golf world with a feat the likes of Nicklaus, Hogan and Woods have failed to match. According to his biography, Jong-il picked up a golf club in 1994, went to the republic's only golf course and shot a 38-under par round that included 11 holes in one. Satisfied, he reportedly immediately declared his retirement from the sport.
