More Things to Worry About on Wednesday
Michael Schwab, 52, said he had received an urgent message from God last Friday that a certain lady driver up ahead of him "was not driving like a Christian" and "needed to be taken off the road," which led him to chase her, and eventually both crashed (with (minor injuries). USA Today
People Different From Us: A 20-yr-old F State woman would like to help police find her ex-boyfriend, who she says stole the wig right off her head and whom she has lived with for eight months, but she only knew him by his first name (and the first letter of his last name). TCPalm.com (Stuart, Fla.)
News that sounds like a joke . . well, no, it must be a joke, except that it's tough to make jokes about animal abuse: London's Daily Telegraph reported a case of bestiality with what purports to be a photo of the actual victim (a horse), but since it was a sex crime, the newspaper placed a black privacy bar over the victim's eyes. [Ed.: In any event, out of solidarity, Weird Universe is not releasing the victim's name.] Daily Telegraph
(Recurring Theme) Public-housing activists in Malaysia used the quaint Third World protest tactic (which, of course, should be widely embraced in the U.S. but is not) of demonstrating while butt-naked. Agence France-Presse
New York City's real-estate-registration procedures are so Ehhh-Whatever that a Daily News reporter walked into the city property office, filled out paperwork, and 90 minutes later had a legitimate-looking deed to the Empire State Building. New York Daily News
