Weird Friday....
Weird news abounds these days. Today was no exception. Buckle up, it's a bumpy ride through logic and common sense.
Item #1
The North Korean Press announced today that the lair of a unicorn was discovered near Pyongyang. This lair housed the unicorn that an ancient divine ruler (Tongmyang) had ridden.
I'll give you a moment to digest that thought.
Unicorns? These delightful creatures have been made famous in toys and in stories. But this may be the first time that a nation (North Korea of all nations!) can claim that such a remarkable creature lived in their land.
Boggles the mind, doesn't it?

Item #2 the Carbeque
For a measly $156,000, you can own a car that allows you to stop, drop, and cook. Lest you think this is a lightweight cooking area, the carbeque can cook nine 10 ounce T Bone steaks at a time or 200 sausages an hour.
I think this would be a hit at the tailgate!

Item #3
Las Vegas is dynamite! Literally!
Las Vegas police found three sticks of dynamite in the middle of the sidewalk. Police discovered a suspicious bag on the sidewalk and cleared the area. The dynamite was detonated safely.
Makes you wonder where that dynamite was headed, doesn't it?

Item #4
If you find it, then it belongs to you, right?
Some kids in Russia found a cute, friendly furry animal all alone and took it to school with them. Turns out, it was a lion cub that had escaped from a car while it was being transported from one zoo to another. The kids had a great distraction from school and now they have a great story to tell their children someday.

Item #5
Renovation work is a killer-vampire division.
In Serbia, renovation of an old mill has the locals thinking that a vampire has been resurrected and is now terrorizing the neighborhood. The mill was falling into disrepair and the family who owned it thought that if it were renovated, it could be put to a commercial use. Now, however, the mill has collapsed and the creepy resident, Sava Savanovic, a legendary vampire, is thought to be roaming the countryside looking for a new place to hang out. The locals are terrified and have stopped going anywhere near the mill and are fearful of going out at night.
I was under the impression that vampires could not be photographed (or seen in a mirror) but here's a European version of the vampire.

Item #6
Even hockey guys love Teletubbies.
Ryan Sheahan, a hockey player who hoped to play for the Detroit Red Wings, was arrested for driving his car on the wrong side of the road and was dressed in a purple Teletubbie outfit.
I hear hockey is a tough sport. I suspect that a history of purple suit wearing, teletubby loving hockey players may have it a bit harder than most.

Well, if you thought life was boring, here's evidence that the weird is still out there! Enjoy!
