There have been some weird things happening lately. Like all the alleged zombie attacks and people trying to eat each other, or at least pieces of each other. (Can you say EW?) Oh, and let’s not forget ingesting bath salts. Really? Like the world doesn’t have enough illegal hallucinogenic drugs floating around, someone had to find another one?
At first I blamed the full moon. (I strongly believe that some people are affected by the lunar pull. In very strange ways. But that’s a story for another day.) However, long after the moon had waned, I kept hearing about crazy things going on. So I took it upon myself to scourge through the internet to see what I could find.
Admittedly, these may not be as off-the-wall as I’d hoped but they’re at least amusing!
I honestly never thought I would see the day when the CDC had to make an official statement concerning zombies.
CDC to America: There Is No Zombie Apocalypse
(But if it happens, here’s a quick link to survival techniques using feminine products.)
In case zombies aren’t your thing, Extraterrestrials Encouraged To Visit San Diego County Fair.
I guess that’s one way to boost tourism.
Out of all the things to steal, toothpicks? Police: Thief Stole 400K Toothpicks In Georgia
Maybe the culprit knows some survival techniques using toothpicks and is storing up for the coming zombie apocalypse?
Or maybe blood-suckers are more your style? Here’s one for you: ‘Vampire’ bones dug up in Bulgaria
And just when I thought N.J. had given us it’s all with the Reality TV show “Jersey Shore”, it brings us new entertainment. Discover New Jersey’s ‘Bermuda Triangle
I’m sure there are more out there but after I found these, I started wondering if I should board up my windows.
How about you? Know of any odd or weird news to report? Feel free to share it!
Very amusing momma. Good post. I had to share the CDC report on facebook. =]
Glad you liked it. 🙂
Yes, I have been going “huh?” a lot also. We live in an ever increasingly strange world. Thanks for the fun blog.
Yes we do, Richard. Things are getting stranger by the day. The way I see it, we have vampires and zombies in the news. The only thing missing now is werewolves. LOL! Thanks for stopping by!
I was cracking up over the survival techniques using tampons! That guy is hilarious! The CDC really had to issue a statement? What does that say about people? *shudders*
Tami, I loved that he had pictures of using them to help explain the techniques! lol!
Did you know that all those reports about the “zombies” resulted in an increase in sales for guns and ammo? People were stocking up to protect themselves.
Crazy world we live in!
Thanks for coming by!
I love this stuff! I did hear something the other day that was rather disturbing. Mexican mother arrested after an end of the world cult ceremony. Her young child wouldn’t close his eyes, so she took them out to “cleanse” him.
Wow, Mike, that is disturbing! There are days when I think I have woken up in an alternate universe. Maybe that’s why I read so much fiction. At least in books I know the stuff that happens isn’t real. Makes me scared to watch the news these days. lol!
Mmm-hmm. I like my horrors of the fictional kind too. I killed my TV altogether a couple weeks ago. Haven’t missed it. I’m in a better mood too 🙂
But Mike, how will know when the zombies are coming if you don’t have TV? lol!
Ahahaha! I think I can outrun a zombie 😉
yeah, here in Calgary too. weird stuff. very weird.
Haha! Fabulous, Jennifer!
Real men WILL put tampons in their mouths, LOL! I may have to print copies of that for my manly brothers. Maybe they can figure out a way to use them when they go deer hunting this winter. 🙂
No zombies? Yeah, right. Send the CDC to my house…I’ll be their first documented case. As long as they get here before I catch up on some much needed sleep. 🙂
What a fun post, Jennifer!
Ha! Kristy, I’m the same way in the mornings. If someone came in before I got some caffeine pumped into me, they would swear I was zombie walking! lol
This is great Jennifer. The CDC link cracks me up–nothing to see here people- LOL!
Coleen,
I know, right? Move along people, nothing here… lol!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love this type of “truth is stranger than fiction” type stuff. Sometimes it seems like our world is getting weirder all the time, but I think it might just be that we hear about more of it now due to the internet.
Marcy,
You may be onto something there. Maybe the world has always been this crazy, we just didn’t know about it before! lol!
Good luck at your conference today!
Hi Jennifer. I thought I’d mention that until recently it turns out that bath salts were actually legal, and were sold in head shops (which I didn’t know still existed) and some natural food stores. I believe they just made some of the ingredients needed to make the stuff criminal, but there’s already something new on the market that they’re going to have to address soon.
People and getting high; I don’t get it.
