Today in Extraordinarily Odd
Christian Falco, a French cook, just broke the world record for the largest barbecue by spit roasting an 550-kilo (1,213-pound) camel for 15 hours in the seaside town of Barat, Morocco. This is the fifth world record in relation to barbecuing that he’s broken having already cooked the world’s largest slab of beef among others. I find it really surprising that a Frenchman in North Africa would have beaten the world record when America is so obsessed with barbecue that I’d say 30% of programming on the Food Network is entirely related to barbecue recipes. Americans obsess over it relentlessly and yet were still apparently beaten by a Frenchman. I didn’t even know the French gave a shit about barbecuing. Plus, wouldn’t eating a camel be sort of like eating a high maintenance, slobbering, dumb faced horse? Karl Lagerfeld ate horse and lost weight. In short, Christian Falco is a career record breaker when it comes to beast and fire.

The tigers being kept at the Glacier Zoo in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China were so hungry on the weekend that they finally turned around and killed one of their own and ate its leg. Apparently funding at the zoo has been so meager that the tigers had been given so little to eat that they were sort of forced to eat the weakest of their group of 5. Even though this is horrifying and a clear example of appalling management, it’s really the kind of thing you go to the tiger’s cage FOR though. I mean, most of the time you go to the zoo and if you actually manage to get the hell through the relentless blur of primates and actually get to the big cats, tigers fighting to the death is sort of what everyone hopes to see. I mean, that’s what someone told me.

One chestnut that hung from the tree that Anne Frank would look at daily while she hid from the Nazis in an Amsterdam attic is now on sale on eBay and it’s currently priced at $2425.00. That’s for one little seed linking back to a whole lot of Holocaust horror. If this were an ad it would read: Your seed of Holocaust horror: $2425. Apparently the tree itself is completely riddled with disease though so this may be one final chance for that tree to live on in some respect. I mean, not literally – symbolically. It is due to be felled on Wednesday after 150 years.
