• You may have thought Cupid was a cherubic boy – turns out he’s a slug
• More odd animal pairings – horse with ducklings
• You know that thing you’ve always wanted to say to the most annoying person on your public commute?  Now it’s art
• A word that’s been missing is finally found  – recombobulate (after you’ve been discombobulated)
• Earthworms are social – so don’t go frying them up!

• Seems that there’s been a banana museum out there for the last 30 years and now it’s been saved (‘course if it hadn’t would you have missed it?)
• More odd animal friends - let’s see how the tortoise feels about things when it’s a full grown chicken
• Bath bombs now come in actual bomb shapes - for a different kind of home spa experience
• Statistics on who believes Aliens are already here (possibly sitting next to you)

Overall, a bizarre week in the odd news world and that’s saying rather a lot.

• Nobody reads the fine print – that’s not news but those that didn’t signed over their souls
• A hidden basement church/speakeasy discovered in England – why can’t my basement be this exciting?
• Iconic architecture in Legos -what have you built lately?
• Apparently vampires are becoming too American

A bizarre new take on tourism unveiled in London

New word of the day – vegangelical (i.e. rabid vegans)

Could you get a posthumous book deal for balancing stuff on your head?  Something to strive for isn’t it?

Feral beagles are terrorizing Long Island (yes, they’re the  ones with the short legs…)

• They really mean it when they say to turn off your cell phone before the plane takes off…
• Test your knowledge of Muppet Show trivia – how much of this did you know?
• A garage-based museum of toilet seats is now officially the wackiest museum in America (I don’t think they knew about the barbed wire museum…)
• Weird copyright fights continue with this one on who owns the name ‘Tavern on the Green‘

Sheep prices approaching that of art masterpieces – And yet another story in the ever increasing news about sheep

A bizarre static-electric effect – maybe explains one or two UFO’s ?

Zoo gorillas try internet dating, and it appears this guy didn’t bother filling out his profile either

A Lego cookie press – how come there’s only the 4-dotter?

A giant cow-maze crop circle – except the German government admits to creating it as educational about bovine digestion and other things…  maybe it makes more sense in German when all the adjectives get strung together into one word?

Disguises for garage doors – but they’re probably come in sizes like British paper, pretty much guaranteed not to fit American equipment

A truly cool cell phone gadget – I wonder if the camera function works with it?

The goat travel visa issue – apparently it’s much harder for goats than people to cross the Irish border

Camel-milk chocolate? – when they said they want to be the Godiva of the Middle East they probably didn’t realize that Godiva is owned by Campbell Soup Company (yes, really)

Now’s your chance, an entire English village (except the church) is up for sale and there seems to be a lot of emphasis on the cricket green.  It’s going to take about $31 million to make your dream come true, but then again it’s not something that just anyone has – and it’s quaint, and you’ll get the rents  (and the taxes.)  And while it’s nowhere in the advertisement, it seems like there will be lots of opinions included for free…
