Bizarre News - July 25, 2015

Greetings fellow Bizarros:

I'm not sure what the fascination is with combining weddings with animals. I have seen doves released after a ceremony. I have seen dogs used as ring bearers. I have even been to a lakeside reception at a country club that was populated with swans. But based upon this bizarre wedding story from Canada, I think horses is where you should really draw the line.

A groom suffered injuries at his wedding ceremony after a drugged out horse threw him off its back. A video shows a man feeding the horse marijuana an hour before it acted strangely at the wedding ceremony.

The groom suffered scratches after being thrown onto the grass by the horse named Misty.

Horse handler Zsa Zsa Stiasny, said that the behavior was uncommon for Misty, as it has been to many weddings and it never caused a disturbance. Stiasny believes that the incident could have been caused by the marijuana in its system.

Of course. Nobody likes to be sat on when they are high. What they should have done is fed the horse a bucket of beer. Because nothing is more entertaining than a vomiting horse at your wedding reception.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Florida man head-butts bus in a rage over $2 fare --*
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (UPI) - Police are working to identify a Florida man who apparently knocked himself out for a few seconds by head-butting a bus out of anger over a $2 fare. The Winter Haven Police Department, which posted video of the incident to its Facebook page, said the man got off the bus about 11:35 a.m. Saturday when it arrived at its stop. Police said the man told the driver he wanted to go to another location, and he became "extremely agitated" when the driver told him it would be an additional $2 fare to travel to the other location. The driver locked the bus and went inside the enclosed part of the bus terminal, leaving the passenger sitting alone on a bench. The man walked away, but returned to the still-locked bus four minutes later. The video shows the man get a running start before head-butting the door of the bus, shattering a glass window. The man falls to the ground and appears to be knocked out for a few seconds before collecting himself and running away. "File this under what NOT to do when you get mad regarding bus fare -- ouch," police wrote on Facebook.


*-- Ohio woman: Fire started by romantically jealous cousin --*
LEAVITTSBURG, Ohio (UPI) - An Ohio woman whose house was damaged by a fire said she believes her "cousin" set the fire intentionally because "he can't get with" her. The Warren Township Fire Department said the Leavittsburg fire is believed to have started about 3:45 a.m. Thursday in Heather and Dennis Tenney's garage before spreading to their home and a neighboring home. Trumbull County Fire Investigation Unit Chief Matt Balut said the fire is being treated as suspicious. Heather Tenney said she believes she knows who was behind the blaze. "It was cause of my cousin and I don't want to mention no names," Heather Tenney told WKBN-TV. "He is mad because he can't get with me. I am married to my husband." Dennis Tenney told TribToday.com a conflict with a wife's relative had escalated via text messages Wednesday evening. He did not say whether the relative was his wife's cousin, but the relative had asked to come over and Tenney said he told the relative, "No." Dennis Tenney said he and his wife had seen an unidentified man walking back and forth in front of their house around midnight. Investigators said they are seeking a person of interest in the fire.

Lewis; I'm sure the shoplifting girl who jumped 25 feet to elude mall security had watched too many movies where the good guy gets away by making that kind of jump. You know, on TV it doesn't look that far. -Wes
[If somebody had heard her yell, "Yippee Ki Yay Mother Fucker" when she jumped, then we would know for sure.]

The guy that has the cat crap in his yard should have it checked out. Cat's bury their crap. If he keeps a look out he may find it's a small dog leaving him 'presents'.
[I think you're thinking WAY too much about animal crap.]
