weird news

This is just one of those stories that is absurd. Actually most of my "say what's" are but this one is up there. Thomas Tolbert was on vacation with his family at Disney World when he was approached by officials to "stop looking like Santa Clause". Kind of a weird request right? Well the fact is, the man does look like Santa! So much so that he is hired to do events and malls a

I remember watching cartoons when I was younger and thought it was cool when the character would get on a stationary bike and pedal to power something or use a hamster on a wheel. Brazil has taken that idea and instead of hamsters they are using inmates in a medium-security prison to power a riverfront promenade of a nearby town.

Apparently sexism and stereotypes are alive and well in Germany. The town of Triberg has decided that woman need help parking. They have designated male and female parking spots. The female spots at the car park are wider with lots of light and the male spots are next to concrete pillars and can only be backed in to.

This is one of those stories that I had to read a couple of times to make sure that it wasn't a joke. 15 years ago, the small Alaskan town of Talkeetna had elections and the residents didn't really care for anybody on the ballot so they wrote in a kitten named Stubbs.  That's crazy enough, but what is even crazier is he is still mayor to this day.

Apparently this guy has a big problem with the phenomenon that is 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.  The couple was just sitting about when his girlfriend decided to read aloud a racy part of the book and he wasn't thrilled hearing about bondage and seduction. He said that it was pornographic and distasteful and he didn't feel that it was appropriate that his girlfriend was reading it.

This has got to be one of the biggest parenting fails so far this year. An Egyptian couple tried to sneak their 5-month-old baby past security by stuffing him in their carry-on luggage in Shar-Jah Airport in the United Arab Emirates.

As Beano stated to me, "I have a new worst fear." That's a bit of an understatement. In Illinois a new fish has been found in Lake Lou Yaeger that apparently goes after fishermen's testicles. Yup, you read that right. The fish is called a Pacu fish -- a toothy sea creature that can weigh up to 55 pounds and normally they are found in the Amazon.

This is a "cold" story filled with frosty justice. A woman in Florida walked into a drug store where she saw her husband shopping with another woman. Uh oh right? Well, it gets worse for the guy. The wife walked up to him and proceeded to yell at him about cheating when she grabbed the ice cream from his hands and began beating him the tasty dessert.

I have heard of some crazy grandma's but this one is, far out man.  A 3-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital after family members believe that he found his grandma's pot laced cookies in the back of the refrigerator in the garage. The boy fell asleep at 5 pm and the family became concerned when it was 10:30 the next morning and he wasn't waking up.

I think that this is one of those cases of having way more money than you need. A couple in Belvedere, California bought their house for $19 million but were not happy with the view that they had. So what do they do? They buy the home next door for $4.3 million and tear it down so they can have a garden and a nice view. SERIOUSLY!?!?!

Today's "Say What!?" is a little bit different than what I normally cover. Usually I do stories that I read or videos that are crazy. Today's is an over heard story that kind of let me laughing and wanting to hear more to the story. The other day I over heard a woman saying that her baby came faster than expected. So fast that they didn't even make it to the hospital.

Apparently not only are McDonald's fries kind of delicious, they are also a weapon. A Massachusetts man is facing a felony charge after he threw fries in his 11-year old step daughters face. He was in the drive-thru with his wife and daughter when he got into an argument about money with his wife. The step daughter tried to intervene and that is when a frustrated James Hackett took a container of
