Happy Thursday y’all! Today’s TT is about things I’ve seen/heard/read the past week that struck me as odd.
Thirteen Weird Happenings
1. Some woman tied up her boyfriend, cut him with a knife, then drank his blood, apparently convinced she was a vampire. 
2. I saw a bumpersticker that said “I Love Lemurs”. How very random. 
3. On the license plate of a Crown Victoria - “NOTACOP”. 
4. A big burly, hairy guy driving a Camry with the license place “HUNYBEAR”. 
5. A man found a 3.92 carat diamond in Murfreesboro, Arkansas at the diamond mine where visitors are allowed to keep what they find. 
6. Some crazy SOB in Raleigh had 112 dogs in his house. Yes, they were seized and yes, it smelled exactly what you’d expect. 
7. Marie Osmond fainted on Dancing with the Stars, then apparently blamed it on the wildfires in California. 
8. I saw a sign that said “Google Ron Paul”. Who the hell is Ron Paul anyway and why would I want to Google him? 
9. A woman in a neighboring county killed her baby, hid her body in the attic in a diaper box for a month, then reported her missing when her husband returned from Iraq after 15 months. This prompted an Amber Alert and a thorough search of her house. Some people should NOT be parents. 
10. I quote from MSNBC: “Comcast Corp. on Tuesday acknowledged “delaying” some subscriber Internet traffic, but said any roadblocks it puts up are temporary and intended to improve surfing for other users.” WTF? 
11. An apartment building in Manhattan released 720,000 ladybugs from Montana into their plants and trees to eat the bugs eating their foliage. 
12. Britney Spears showed her hoo-hoo again on Tuesday. Can the girl just find some panties? 
13. Jackie Chan has recorded the “official” song for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Hm, that doesn’t strike me as odd as finding out he’s released several albums.
What about y’all? Any weird, crazy stuff you’ve run into this week?
Do you think people have always been this weird and we just didn’t know it because news didn’t travel as fast or far before the web?

And number 10? I HATE COMCAST…visit my blog and search for my comcast posts if you want to read my take on why they suck.
