Today in Extraordinarily Odd

A small piglet that has been named Andrex was found in the back of a truck filled with rolls of toilet paper in England. He has a few cuts on his snout and is being cared for by the RSPCA until they can find him a new home. The odd part about this is, how did he even get into that truck and secondly, if the truck transporting the pig was filled with toilet paper rolls wouldn’t the entire trip have been a sort of bizarre bouncing hilarious padded ride of excitement for the small one? I mean, the idea of a piglet bounding around over some toilet paper rolls almost reads as though it’s a commercial for toilet paper itself. I’ve always found pigs weirdly repellant. Like ducklings are cute and so are foals and calves. I mean, I could hang out with a foal but a pig? Not so much. The only reason this piglet would be cool is because his name is Andrex and he’ll probably be a political revolutionary when he grows up because he went on this strange adventure at such a young age and so he’s being prepared for great things.

Some rancid, delusional, child molesting incest freak in India named Afazuddin Ali, 36 just married his teenaged daughter because he claimed it was God’s will. Which God? Wouldn’t he be Hindu? Don’t they have thousands? Regardless, it doesn’t matter which religion it is because it’s just another one of those horrific scenarios where a weirdo has arbitrarily justified his behavior through religion. "This is a very strange case as no one in the family has complained, but we will conduct medical tests to verify the girl's exact age, before filing a strong case against her father," said Ravinder Jit Singh Nalwa, a senior police officer. Maybe this guy’s family are really just his cult. These cult leaders are equal parts insane as well as charismatic mastermind. [source]



Those crazy assed Olympic organizers in Beijing are asking for female models to present medals at the Beijing Olympics next year but they won’t accept anyone unless they’re tall and slim. "Generally speaking, they can't be too fat. Their figure should be good. They shouldn't be too heavy." God, even the Chinese officials are skirting their way around overtly saying “No Fat Chicks”. Meanwhile, all these rules the Beijing Olympics and the Chinese Government are putting out about human behavior should keep people stressed and repressed enough to be as thin as the French. The French women in Paris that is. Apparently even France is 1/5 obese these days. Even with all that internalized angst. Who knew? [source]
