So, I was just going to post this in the Heathen News section, but it really deserves its own post. The Orlando Sentinal, a perfectly legitimate news outlet in the Orlando Florida area, has a glorious listing of bizarre and funny images in their Gallery of the Strange. Some of the highlights include:

• This Aussie man who might have been a heathen, but only if he evades that check and doesn’t get arrested.
• This dresden area where their giant penis monuments get cold in the winter, so they give them caps.
• What did these Santas do to end up on an ice flow?
• A rather benign pic of some women shouting Hoodie Hoo. Which may end up being a post of it’s own. Here’s the quick lowdown on what the hell the Northern Hemisphere Hoodie hoo Day is all about from the folks over at Zany Holidays, who seem to have left Ungodly Heathen Nekid Bastard Children’s Day Festival off their list. Something must be done. Anyway, here’s the official hoodie link.
• And, since we already know Santas location. Here’s what the elves have been up to. And I will honestly say, that could quite possibly be one of the stupidest things I’ve seen an elf do. The object is to grab on to the bulls head and hold on until the bull gives up. Say what? I think I’ll pass, which is apparently what the courts in India said. Really, they did. Here is a NY Times article about the practice with video.
• For those who don’t know, yes, my parents do own a sheep farm. And, no, this is not my son. But once I get him the equipment it may be.
• Fido didn’t know it, but his owner had brought him out to the annual Spanish dog thumping ceremony. Or, perhaps it’s just because he can’t play the piano.
• Perhaps this is Fade, stepping out for his cigarette. At the Maltermeister Turm bar in Goslar, Lower Saxony. Where bar owner, Michael Windisch, cut holes so customers can enjoy a smoke, which is banned inside of public establishments.
• In case you ever wondered, giant hands are made by this guy.
• When not playing Aussie Rules football, the enterprising folks down under have a bit of fish tossing. Find out more about the tunarama festival at this link.  I am sure there’s all kinds of wholesome fun.

Other suggested images to look for are the one flippered sea turtle, The horse groomer who may have gotten the worst end of that job, and freaky nail lady. Some days I just love this world.  Good stuff.
