Greetings fellow Bizarros:
We've discussed weird foods in Bizarre News before. There
was the bull testicle festival in Montana and the turkey
testicle festival in Illinois. We've talked about deep
fried tarantulas and chilled monkey brains, but in New
Zealand, at this year's Wildfoods Festival in the South
Island town of Hokitika, they have taken things to a whole
new level.
The festival began 22 years ago as a way of allowing city
folks to "get out of their comfort zone" and sample foods
enjoyed by rural dwellers in the "outback" as they call it.
Foods like raw scorpions, chocolate-covered beetles and
deep-fried grubs, as well as more mainstream staples such
as venison and wild boar.
But this year for the first time New Zealand epicures will
be able to satisfy their appetite for the unusual with shots
of horse semen. This little delicacy is the brain child of
racehorse breeder Lindsay Kerslake.
"The idea is you'll have as much zizz as a stallion for a
week afterwards," said Lindsay.
I'm not sure what zizz is, but if it's what I think it is
then Lindsay might have a problem!
He said the shots being sold at this year's festival would
taste like a milkshake and be washed down with an energy
drink chaser.
So you won't have to deal with the salty taste the shots
will be available in vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

-------- $50K art project tossed by city workers --------
ALBUQUERQUE - Albuquerque officials said a $50,000 work of
art believed to have been stolen was actually thrown out
by city employees. Mayor Richard Berry's office said Monday
the fiberglass sculpted cactus, created by an artist and
students participating in a Working Classroom Inc. program
funded by the city, had been stolen, but a pair of Parks
and Recreation employees came forward Tuesday to say it
had been thrown out after being vandalized, KRQE-TV,
Albuquerque, reported Thursday. "There are just layers of
tragedy here," said Nan Elsasser, executive director of
Working Classroom. "First of all, who would vandalize it
and for what purpose. And then who would make this decision
to cart off a piece of art and throw it in the dump. That's
just unfathomable to me." City spokesman Chris Ramirez
said the employees did not know the item was a public art
project when they made the decision to have it taken to a
landfill. He said city employees will receive a memo about
the more than 650 public art projects installed around the
city.

----- Drunk driver came to pick up drunk driver -----
MALMO, Sweden - Police in Sweden said a man who drove to
the police station to pick up a friend who was arrested
for drunk driving also was arrested for the same crime.
Malmo police said the 28-year-old man, who was charged
Tuesday with aggravated drunken driving, drove to the
police station late at night to pick up his friend, who
was arrested earlier in the day on a drunken driving
charge, and a guard inside the facility suspected he had
been drinking, The Local reported Thursday. The guard
alerted a nearby police officer, who administered a
breath test and determined the man's blood alcohol content
was well over the legal limit for driving. "I didn't feel
drunk, but I had been drinking, so it was unnecessary and
poorly thought out," the Skanska Dagbladet newspaper
quoted the man as saying after the September 2010 incident.
Police said the man had driven the same car his friend was
driving at the time of his arrest.

Lewis...Regarding the story about the gal from Windsor
Ontario who was groped and searched in the buff.... the
Customs agents were just checking to see if she was trying
to smuggle in a Canadian Beaver! -BB
[As long as it wasn't stuffed.]
About the lady trying to get from Canada to the US with the
raspberries. Maybe they groped her down there in her private
area to make sure she didn't also have nuts.
Lewis, it is common knowledge that raspberries are good on
top of a bowl of cereal as are bananas. I'm sure the border
agents were looking for any Canadian bananas when they
searched the woman so thoroughly. -Gene
[If she had a Canadian banana where they were searching, she
wouldn't have been a woman.]
Perhaps they needed to make sure she was not also bringing
any illegal melons in... -Z
[Well, we've covered raspberries, nuts, melons, bananas and
beaver. I don't think there is another pun we can make.]
Next time there is an oil spill I'd love to see an analysis
if the animals they are spending 100k a pop to meticulously
clean are really at risk. For example if a sea gull gets
covered in oil put the thing out of its misery and forget
about it. They will repopulate in weeks if not within a year.
Then you don't let the oil company off the hook you charge
them the 100k a sea gull and put it towards cleaning up real
environmental problems by dumping it in the super fund.
Everyone wins and the sea gull doesn't have to go through
the painful process of being cleaned with detergents. Just
make sure that the sea gull doesn't go through any more pain
than a normal death like being eaten by a Bald Eagle. -John
[Clean up efforts are important. Indigenous populations can
be devastated by disasters like this. I think it is naive to
think that numbers will bounce back in a single year.]
