Bizarre stories from the news

Post » Fri May 10, 2013 5:57 am

News.

We all see it everyday even if we do not intend to acknowledge it. News can span from all sorts of subjects you can think of, and from all media outlets in existence (such as TV, newspaper, internet, etc.). We have seen serious news stories and news that usually is considered general news. We have the good, the bad, and of course...

...the ugly.

These days, there are so many crazy stories that catch our eye. Some make you go "http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2013/05/08/rocklin-man-carjacks-his-own-car/", some make you go "http://now.msn.com/marijuana-deliveryman-tells-cops-ninjas-stole-his-weed". But there are even ones that make you go "http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/05/07/man-swallowed-by-hippo-lives-to-write-about-it/?xid=rss-topstories"

So, what are some of your crazy stories you have seen, read or heard about? Post a link for the source if possible, that would be awesome! Also, please keep it clean and friendly...thanks :tops:

Oh and a quick note: Please do not start any arguments that say things like "Most 'crazy' news is fabricated" or "They usually make this up/don't have a source". Well, that is a whole other ballpark. This thread is just for fun, okay? okay. :D

Okay, I'll admit, I have used something like WebMD before to check up something if I or someone is not feeling well in terms of a cold or allergies, but that is just a huge red flag for the ER :unsure:

I think I already posted this some time ago, but whatever. A man http://g1.globo.com/Noticias/Brasil/foto/0,,18288745-FMM,00.jpg because he owed him money. What did he use? A Master System's light phaser.

Also, today I saw some news about a woman who couldn't eat correctly, because she'd vomit and stuff, and the cause of that was a baby who was developing outside her uterus, on her intestines. That's local news for ya.

wow I would've probably gotten arrested behind that for cursing out the cops....I already hate police and calling my daughter a criminal for drawing with chalk would seriously anger me.

I don't blame the cops. They don't want that witchcraft on the street.

lol in elementary school, the girls would always be playing hopscotch and I would tell my friends that it was something witches do. I guess that's just part of my Anglo-Saxon inquisition genes.
