Bizarre News - May 28, 2014
Greetings fellow Bizarros: When I graduated from high school in 19&% I celebrated by going downtown Chicago with a few friends for dinner and ended up at a house party in the suburbs where I drank beer and threw up. Apparently they do things a little differently in Georgia.
Officials say an 18-year-old drowned just hours after graduating high school when he was tied to a shopping cart and pushed into a lake as part of a game with friends.
A Georgia Department of Natural Resources spokeswoman Melissa Cummings says the body was found early Sunday morning in about 30 feet of water and he was still tied to the cart.
She says in the game Saturday night, participants sat in a shopping cart that was tied to a pole.
Others pushed the cart to the end of the dock so that the person sitting in it would be flung into the water. Cummings says the cart was tied to the victim instead of a pole and it pulled him under.

Email Lewis*-- Python massages are being offered at Cebu City Zoo in the Philippines --*CEBU CITY, Philippines (UPI) - A zoo in the Philippines has started offering visitors the chance to receive a relaxing 15-minute massage from its four Burmese pythons that it currently has in captivity. The Cebu City Zoo's pythons - Michelle, Walter, EJ and Daniel - are supposedly fed 10 or more chickens before giving out the massages so they won't be tempted to snack on the guests. During the "therapeutic and calming" massages, zookeepers keep watch as the snakes slither back and forth across a bamboo bed. Once the snakes are put on, it's virtually impossible to escape because they weigh about 550 pounds combined. "I had to lie on my back on a bamboo daybed in the open air. I was briefed on what to do and what not to do during the massage," volunteer Ian Maclean told the Daily Mail. "These instructions are crucial, as you can imagine. They tell you not to blow air on the snake, because this is like being pinched on the bum, apparently. You can't shout for help as the snake can feel your vibrations and thinks you're prey or a predator, depending on the environment."
*-- Man wears pig mask and is arrested for impersonating a police officer --*MANCHESTER, England (UPI) - Greater Manchester Police arrested a man who put on a pig mask, toy helmet and reflective jacket in order to perform "comical parodies" about the behavior of law enforcement officials. New Moston man Steven Peers was arrested on suspicion of impersonating a police officer after he put on the costume to call attention to how GMP officers conducted themselves during anti-fracking protests. The 46-year-old was arrested after being stopped by an officer outside a police station. "My reaction to being arrested was total disbelief. I was wearing a toy hat and a pig mask and was arrested for impersonating a police officer. It's ridiculous," Peers told the Manchester Evening News. "If they want to take it to court they will be a laughingstock because there is no substance to it whatsoever." The father-of-four also had his "Officer 666" outfit confiscated. "I don't think it's antagonistic. It's just a parody making fun of GMP," Peers said. "I've dressed like this at Barton Moss, in front of Swinton police station and in front of the force HQ in Newton Heath. Other officers have laughed it off."
*-- READER COMMENTS --*I was wondering about the guy in his underwear who stole the bread truck. Your story does not relate, but were drugs and/or alcohol involved? -Chris

I don't know, but he didn't have enough dough for bail. At least he'll have plenty of time to loaf in jail.]
Lewis I was in a coma for 7 weeks before having a cesarean to give birth to my oldest daughter. That was about 27 years ago, and we all survived so it's not impossible! -Michell
[
That's pretty lucky. Most people have to do a dangerous amount of drugs to get a coma like that.]
I think that French guy would have had better luck playing Miley Cyprus or Justin Beeber instead of the classics. Don't you remember A Clockwork Orange? Malcolm McDowell loved some Ludwig van to put him in the mood for a bit of the old ultra violence.
