You can't make this stuff up

So, what are some weird/just plain outrageous things you've heard happened recently? They can be from word of mouth, news, wherever.

Like, the other day I heard about this one on the radio. What an asstard.

Every deed of the world's worst superhero, Florida Man.

Even the BBC think clickbaity headlines are better than ones that actually give you any information

This story does not possess the most flattering imagery of people with missing limbs unfortunately, so I apologise in advance. However, I think that this has been my favourite news story to appear so far in recent media.

For people who can't be bothered to open the link:
A drunk passenger on a flight to Scotland demanded cigarettes and parachute from the flight crew before getting violent, slapping the passenger next to her and then removing her prosthetic leg and attacking the flight crew with it. The flight crew have to make an emergency landing in Gatwick (London) to let her off and as this happens the other passengers burst out into their own rendition of the Hokey Cokey.

I posted this on the pre-crash TCoD back in 2008.

You'll see why I called them "a real life Jessie and James".

Okay, so one time my friends told me about a newscast where a father dared his son to skateboard slowly behind the news reporter, with both his middle fingers up. He did it, and got, like, 50 dollars.

What a wonderful country I live in.

Apparently the actor that played the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Wild Force is now a murderer, as of... today...

Wild Force has always been my favorite Power Rangers series.... Let's hope this is just some Tauros waste made up by TMZ.
