More Strangeness…
Again, here’s a selection of odd news that you may not have encountered before.
Oldham Couple Get Hundreds Of Calls From Rap Fans
An Oldham couple in their fifties have been receiving loads of calls from fans of the 18-year old US rapper Soulja Boy…
Thousands of music fans have been bombarding an Oldham family with calls – ever since their telephone number featured on a rap track. US rap artist Soulja Boy included the ex-directory number in his latest hit, Kiss Me Thru The Phone [...]
Ms Howard Smith added: “If they called the number with the American dialling code in front of it they will get through to a recorded message from him.”
We’ve been talkin’ ’bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
The Peter Pan of Pop and purported paedophile, Michael Jackson died. But now he’s back. Forget your Virgin Mary visitations and Jesus in the form of a Cheeto appearances and make way for the ghost of Michael Jackson in Neverland and a tree stump which bears an image looking spookily like Jacko. Please note: the quality of ghostly apparitions and tree stump images may go down as well as up.
Although no doubt feeling somewhat narked at being upstaged by Jacko, the Virgin Mary appeared in a tree stump as well.
Swearing Reduces Pain
Then there’s the fact that research seems to indicate that swearing actually reduces pain. So when you stub your toe and swear, the swearing does actually help — and more so than saying a non-swear word, apparently…
Stephens and his fellow Keele researchers John Atkins and Andrew Kingston sought to test how swearing would affect an individual’s tolerance to pain. Because swearing often has an exaggerating effect that can overstate the severity of pain, the team thought that swearing would lessen a person’s tolerance. As it turned out, the opposite seems to be true.
The researchers think that the increase in pain tolerance occurs because swearing triggers the body’s natural “fight-or-flight” response.
The Naked Collection
If you’re five days late for a dental appointment, don’t show up naked. Nor the claim of being a Terminator from the future likely to succeed if you wander into a casino naked — the police did not believe he was in fact a terminator from the future, but was a naked man who had been using lots of LSD and marijuana.
High Credit Card Bills
A man in the United States popped out to his local petrol station to buy a pack of cigarettes — only to find his card charged $23,148,855,308,184,500.[...]
He says his appeals to his bank first met with little understanding, though it eventually corrected the error. It also waived the usual $15 overdraft fee.
Miscellaneous
There was a ‘Grand Canyon’ formed overnight in Durham; with interesting security implications, Scientists supposedly find a way to make electronic data self-destruct; there’s the ‘do not allow an elephant to stand on your genitals’ road sign and of course there’s the cat that dialled 999.
Bizarre. Entertaining. Bordering on madness. And all of them have been submitted to Fortean Times’ Breaking News Section; which is worth keeping your eye on…
