I read the maddest thing today. Not only that but when I told D about it, he topped it with a possibly even madder story, so today you lucky peeps are getting
a mini-news-spam just so I can share the lunacy. Hold on to your hats, folks, because there's none so insane as the human race - THIS we know.
Remember how the Nazis were not simply evil and twisted but also uber-nuts? Remember also how once upon a time Harrison Ford andBond, James
Bond Sean Connery beat the buggers hands down as they tried to get their mitts on the Holy Grail? Ah, well, it was not wholly fiction, you know. Jesus was Aryan not Jewish, don't you know,
and, according to Himmler, if he'd found the Grail they'd have won the war with SUPERNATURAL POWERS of DOOOOOOM.
Yeah, I agree 'WTF' is wholly inadequate, right?
Ah, but I can top that. Oh, yesh. Forty-five years ago D went to some students' philosphy seminar in Austria (as you apparently did in the Swinging Sixties o_0) and met "the most bizarre person he'd ever met in his life" (and he's sixty-six), namely, an Indian (by which a mean a man native to India who had flown in specially for said conference) who was also a confirmed Nazi. (Are you brains imploding yet?) He apparently had this grand theory that since Indians were also descended from Aryans (though an entirely different sort - the Nazis snaffled the term, so I understand) thus, as he apparently kept saying, "Us Aryans must stick together, you know." O_O (Yes, yes, I know! Don't blame me, and yes of COURSE it is true!)
Anyway, as you recover from trying to actually get your heads round that (I didn't, I have to say - all I could do was laugh hysterically and say 'WHAT?!' repeatedly at him down the phone), you can have some other news-spam to soothe your melting grey cells into a calm, orderly sort of soup rather than the one going 'ARGH! DOES NOT COMPUTE!' right about now.
Anyone fancy buying a saint online? And yes I do mean a real saint, as in boiled down bones.
Two pigs are married. That would probably be insane enough except that the ceremony was blessed by a Catholic priest. o_0 Does the Pope know about this?!
We'll give you a flat, but you can't use all of the rooms just... because. Bureaucracy gone mad.
Anatomically correct crocheted nude figures go on display. Hm. And I struggle to just make a baby blanket. :P
When Chewbaccas ATTACK!
What's about the biggest diplomatic boo-boo you could make at, say, some sort of official ceremony? Play the wrong national anthem, perhaps? How about not only play the wrong national anthem, but instead play the national anthem of a country the original country refuses to recognise, has extremely tense relations with, considers a renegade state and would happily invade if it thought it could get away with it? Methinks someone got fired for this.
Idiot Driver Award this week goes to: the man who was done for overtaking traffic at 70mph whilst using his rear view mirror to shave. As ever, the stupidity... yadda, yadda, yadda. ;P
Looking for FUN online? Want something that is said by the company to "put watching paint dry in the shade"? How about being able to watch, live, as cheese matures. [Will you stop asking me if I'm kidding you - you should know better by now. :P]
And lastly, not only a drunk bear, but a drunk bear who knows what beer he likes. XD
