Today's Odd or Unusual Story


Today's Odd or Unusual Story

Thought it would be fun to share any odd or unusual news story or headline that is read amongst our GuG family across this big blue marble we call Earth! I actually hunt for those type of headlines. Almost like the too-stupid-to-live type of stories that make the evening news!

What have you read or heard lately that rates as unusual or odd?

Re: Today's Odd or Unusual Story

A farmer landed in hospital after a horny bull mistook him for a cow.

The randy steer tore off the farmer's clothes in a frenzy after he caught the scent of cows on them at the dairy farm in Wies Dlugie, eastern Poland.

Terrified Stan Markowski, 68, tried to reject the amorous advances but was chased and tossed all round the field.

His daughter Danuta, 45, explained: "The bull smelt my dad who had just been with cows and thought he was a cow ready for mating.

"But when my dad pushed him off the bull went mad began to charge and toss him around the field, tearing his clothes and hurling him to the ground.

"He managed to get away and ran home - completely naked, terrified and bleeding."

Police have arrested a woman for allegedly attacking her husband with a frozen lasagne.

The suspected case of 'lasagne abuse' occurred in Atlantic Beach, Florida, where Amanda Trott was having an argument with her husband.

According to Metro, a neighbor called the police - when they arrived, Mr. Trott claimed he had been slapped in the face and then had the frozen meal thrown at him by his wife.

It's reported the lasagne hit him on the head - police say Mrs. Trott later admitted to the attack.

"In my opinion, it hurts very much and will cause welts. It's like throwing a block of ice, and it's very heavy," commented Sgt. David Cameron.

Mrs. Trott was arrested and charged with domestic battery, while - just to complete an excellent day for him - her husband was also arrested and charged with an unrelated injunction violation.

Re: Today's Unusual Story (two faced kitten)

Two faced kitten born Aug. 6th, 2008 in Ohio (4 eyes, 2 noses, 1 mouth).  They reported that momma cat is taking care of it just like the other kittens in the litter.

 

I feel bad for the little thing but it is sweet and I hope it does well.  I hope this little baby doesn't end up as some circus side show.  I'm such a cat lover I would love to kidnap this little one to protect it from the cruel world and give it a wonderful life (which I hope the owners do)!

And... it's subway......... YOU tell them to put what on, and how much........ so it's essentially his fault........... I hate stupid people.....

amen! i applaud her for not giving up. i have followed this case from the beginning and it ripped my heart out. have you read the years *years* of mental and physical abuse she sustained from her beloved husband? picture him in ex-girlfriends shoes. she is doing the same to you inside. i'm not changing your opinion on the story. but if i lived in her shoes.....i may have done the same to my husband. it is obvious she is lucky to be able to get her life back together. that is a blessing. but the healing will be a lifetime.

No, 2na, I haven't followed it, but now, I will go look into it. Maybe I can understand more than I originally thought. *hmmm*

Re: Today's Odd or Unusual Story - Killer gets kids!

she lived and under went  an intense psychological evaluation and lived in a psychological ward for two months. the end results were that of any other normal person and proved to not be a threat amongst society, herself, or her children. what was unusual is the behind the scenes abuse she endured for years without reaching out to anyone. tragic yet triumphant in the end.

Re: Today's Odd or Unusual Story

I heard about that this morning.  Awful.  But on the radio they said that the magazine posted the retraction only on their website.  Not in the magazine.  I hope that isn't true.  What about the people who only READ the magazine and don't visit the site?  This could get ugly.

 OK that is creepy looking and I dunno I've NEVER seen a blue/purple raccoon and where is the fur?  I've seen lots of road kill raccoons and nothing like that.  However since I'm no raccoon expert I'm sure there right.  Maybe its a half breed raccoon/pig/dog/lockness monster freak of nature.  I d
