Okay, the other day my grandma found some very weird (and hilarious) articles in the newspaper, so I figured, why not create a topic for articles like these?
Articles don't necessarily need to be local, but it's ok to post them as long as they're funny.
Don't cuss or post anything to graphic though (as always).

"Don't Mess With Old Ladies"
(This article is copied from Midweek June 4 200 cool
Joshua Crowley, 22, was charged with robbing a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in Camas, Washington, after being chased down, wrestled with and subdued by passerby Mary Chamberlain, 66.
In Bartsville, Oklahoma, Robert Horsley, 46, allegedly tried to come through a window in the house of a 95-year-old woman, but she grabbed a screwdriver and continued to stab his hand every time he reached inside. By the time police arrived, said officer Tom Holland, "his hand was pretty chewed up and one knuckle was almost gone."

"Visitors flocking to see 'unicorn' deer "
By MARTA FALCONI, Associated Press Writer
Thu Jun 12, 10:41 AM ET
ROME - The shy, young deer nicknamed "Unicorn" because of the rare, single horn in the center of his head is drawing hundreds of curious visitors, park officials said Thursday.
People are flocking to the nature preserve in Tuscany where the deer lives, hoping to see him and take his picture.
"We have received so many calls from people and many are coming to see it," said Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Center of Natural Sciences in Prato, near Florence. "Sometimes he comes close to the fence, even if he is very shy."
In just the past few days, some 200 visitors have made the pilgrimage to the Prato preserve to see "Unicorn," Tozzi said.
The shy but budding media star wanders freely around the 2.5-acre park, he said.
"He is tranquil and leads his normal life," he said. "He doesn't feel like a star."
The year-old Roe Deer was born in captivity with an apparent genetic flaw, Tozzi said. His twin, in contrast, has two horns.
Single-horned deer are rare but not unheard of but experts say the central positioning of Unicorn's horn is unusual. Tozzi speculated that similar anomalies might have inspired the myth of the unicorn.
The unicorn, a horse-like creature with magical healing powers, has appeared in legends and stories throughout history, from ancient and medieval texts to the adventures of Harry Potter.

From a California Newspaper. I don't have the article and so doesn't the internet. It read:
"New Breakthrough in Jet Pack Technology."
On the picture captions it read. "this jet pack is Jew Powered"

We were just talking in my History class about this crazy guy who stabbed these hikers (luckily the wounds were not fatal).
He ran away, and when the police finally found him he had climbed up a tree, started shouting about how he was giving himself up, and was only wearing a shoe and a sock... no underwear.
Yep... tragic those people got stabbed but kinda amusing... My theory is he was high.
