Weird World: 12 Utterly Unexpected, Yet Utterly Real Events

Truly, life on Earth is an inexhaustible wellspring of all-round weirdness.

12

WEIRD WORLD Prince Andrew's ex-wife says that nobody ever got persecuted as bad as her. - Specifically, Sarah Ferguson said she was maybe the most persecuted woman in the history of the royal family. CRACKED.COM — Source

11

WEIRD WORLD The Catholic Church had to apologize for telling kids Santa isn't real. The bishop of a diocese in Sicily told kids that Santa didn't actually exist - which, even if it might be consistent with Church doctrine, required an apology. CRACKED.COM — Source

WEIRD WORLD A guy driving a stolen car parked it at a space reserved for police cars in Tulsa. 712 6030-D2 Unsurprisingly for everyone involved, except the driver, he (along with a passenger) got arrested very quickly. CRACKED.COM — Source

9

WEIRD WORLD The Swedish tourist board is basing a tourist campaign on IKEA products. IKEA IKEA products are named after places in Sweden - for example, the Bolmen toilet brush is named after one tree-lined lake -- and the tourist board invites people to Discover the Originals. CRACKED.COM — Source

8

WEIRD WORLD A guy who climbed Mont Blanc found $84,000 worth of jewels, and kept them. Well, to be clear, he found jewels worth twice as much - but the authorities let him keep half, since they couldn't find the person who'd lost them. CRACKED.COM — Source

7

WEIRD WORLD A German court ruled that you can actually get into a workplace accident at home. One man walked from his bed to his desk, fell, and broke his back - and the court ruled that, indeed, this was a workplace accident. CRACKED.COM — Source

WEIRD WORLD A top-ranking chess player was promised a night of passion with a porn star. A Russian porn star gave that promise to lan Nepomniachtchi, if he beat Magnus Carlsen and became world champion (which, alas, didn't happen). CRACKED.COM — Source

5

WEIRD WORLD A Singaporean banned from driving pretended to be his brother, but that backfired. Not because he wasn't convincing, but because his brother was wanted by the police - so he got arrested. CRACKED.COM — Source

4

WEIRD WORLD In Oregon, a friendly but sweary crow ingratiated himself with a whole school. The crow just showed up at the school one day and kind of became an unofficial mascot - but the whole thing ended with state police being called in. CRACKED.COM — Source

3

WEIRD WORLD The MyPillow CEO sued the Daily Mail over saying that he dated Jane Krakowski. Не alleged that, somehow, this was defamatory - but it turns out the judge didn't think it was too harmful to your image to be dating a Hollywood actress. CRACKED.COM — Source

2

WEIRD WORLD One judge defended his act of burying $100,000 in cash to hide it from creditors. It may seem strange, but I'm from Alabama, is how Nashville Judge Kelvin Jones defended himself in his divorce case. CRACKED.COM — Source

WEIRD WORLD A guy burned his house in Maryland to get rid of snakes, and failed in his task. Не tried to get the snakes, and accidentally set the house on fire - but it turns out some of the snakes likely survived, while the house was destroyed. CRACKED.COM — Source
