Today in Extraordinarily Odd

Members of a TV production team from a show called “Destination Truth” were researching and filming for an episode of their show that would concentrate on the myth of the Yeti. While filming they discovered foot prints that were quite large which they insist are not a bear’s. They claim that the discovery really does warrant further inquiry which is also coincidentally what their show was about to do. Now look, I’m not saying that they’re publicity whores at all. I’m really not. [source]

Mafia boss Michele Catalano (apparently also known as The Beast) was sitting in his house watching TV in Italy, in fact he was watching a show where the scene on TV was of a mafia boss being arrested. Just then the police burst in the door and arrested him. It’s things like that that would make me completely petrified of ever doing anything again. I mean, it’s not unreasonable to suggest that his watching of that show willed that arrest to happen. That’s how the Secret works, isn’t it? I mean, that’s what someone told me. [source]

A politician in Thailand is in trouble for handing out Viagra to elderly men in the hopes that they’ll vote for him. It’s interesting how insane Asian elections can get when you consider that in Taiwan politicians actually staged a huge physical fight on TV. To be honest I don’t really know what else to say about this because I’m kind of distracted. I do feel calmed by the idea of an army of elderly Thai men afflicted with priapism. It’s calming and it’s also enjoyable. [source]
