God Bless the Weird

Weird news--you gotta love it! I'd like to thank all the "journalists" who publish the bizarre, unruly stories of the world. Without them, my work day would feel like a never-ending blow to the head by a tiny little metal bat that doesn't necessarily kill you but can keep your head throbbing until you want to pass out.

I came across Ananova.com today. Ananova is a web-oriented news service that provides breaking international news, entertainment news, business news, as well as its "quality" stories of the bizzare labeled "Quirkies".

The curious of the curious can find Ananova's quirky stories labeled under various titles from "Sex Life" to "Strange Crime" to the even more obscene sounding "Animal Tales."

Today I spent a good half hour wasting time reading the quirkies. I know I could have been more productive but hey, like I said earlier, weird news--you gotta LOVE it!

What did I "learn" today you ask? LOTS!

Stories of Note:
- A top female politician in Holland is requesting for Dutch prostitutes to be sent abroad to "relax" tense troops. "The army must think about how their soldiers can let off some steam."

- A man is suing for missing foreskin.

- Panda porn is the new rave of China.
