What is popular in the "world of weird" this week?
Real Life Batman
No seriously, there is a real life Batman! According to
the San Francisco Chronicle, a man dressed at Batman brought a suspect into a
police station in West Yorkshire.
West Yorkshire
Police said Monday that they do not know the identity of the man who appeared
in "a full Batman outfit" and turned in a 27-year-old suspect to
police in Bradford, England. We do however, Bruce Wayne. They called him “Bradford
Batman”, but you may refer to him as “Bradford Bruce”
Bruce Wayne became
attached to Wollaton hall in Nottingham after he vacationed here earlier this
year shortly before the “Bane Incident”. He liked Yorkshire puddings so much
that he decided to stay and defend T’Northerners from thieves and fraudsters,
like the one in question.
The suspect is in custody awaiting court hearing.
Yorkshirers can sleep safe tonight knowing the “Bat-Signal” is brightly lit
above Meadowhall.
Fireman Ham
In Somerset a pig named Dominic is officially employed as
a fireman. Well he isn’t really an employee but he has been helping fire-fighters
learn how to heard animals “in case they have to do it for real”, when… when..
when.. I can’t think of a case when firemen are going to need to herd animals. “Quick a herd of cows are running towards an
exploding nuclear plant, get the pig!”.
‘Saving his bacon’ has a whole new perspective when it comes
to this pig. He was put forward for the mammoth task after the rescue home
discovered he contains the soul of the late Houdini and is quite the escape
artist.
"You cannot deny,
Dom is the hero, next sty.
Driving down the busy farms,
Greeting people with his arms.
Someone could be in a jam,
So, hurry hurry Fireman Ham.
So move aside, make way.
Fireman Ham!
'Cos he's a heavy fast Bastard.
Fireman Ham!"

Buildings in Disguise
Personally I loved this topic due to my background, but I’m
hoping you can all see the “resemblance”
The Angry Bird Church
Luckily for us the church is in no way as addictive as
the game, which means we can continue to have lie-ins on a Sunday and avoid
mingling with “dead-people”. The church have put in a claim against the
architect after small ‘non-religious’ children have flocked to the building in
order to throw small round green pigs at it.
Of-fish
This time the resemblance was intentional as this is the
office of the National Fisheries Development Board of India. In my opinion the
architect should have opted for a design more ‘conceptual’. Developer “It needs
to resemble a fish”, Architect “I will just make a building that is in the
shape of a fish”… pure laziness.
Robot Bank
This is the actual bank of Asia, designed to reflect the ‘computerisation
of banking’. I’m thinking the same lazy architect must have also designed this.
Unsurprisingly it is known as “The Robot Building”. I give this 10/10 for
intelligent thinking. Looks like something a child would make out of Lego.
Hitler House
You have all more than likely seen this before. But it is
still one of my personal favourites. If I owned it I would have definitely painted
his “moustache” black to help with the visualisation by now.
Wendolene
This house APPARENTLY looks like ‘Wallace and Gromit’s ,
Wendolene’. I loved W&G as a child but I had no clue who Wendolene was. If
you’re like me you will have to Google it. Only then does this become
hysterical. I could have placed an image here for you, but I’m lazy and needed
an excuse to use the term ‘Google it’. Wendolene Ramsbottom is the wool shop owner who wins Wallace’s heart in A
Close Shave. And this house is in a place with a ridiculously difficult to
pronounce name “Combeinteignhead”, say it with me now!
Harlem Sack
Other people
than me must be getting tired of this Harlem Shake shit by now… please? Don’t tell
me I am still on my own on the island of ‘anti-harlem’. Well this bought joy to
my miserable ‘I-just-woke-up’-face today.
A group of
gold miners in Australia have been sacked after performing the Harlem Shake
dance craze currently sweeping the internet. The miners are reported to have
lost their six-figure salaries after the owner of the Agnew gold mine deemed
the dance stunt to be a ‘safety issue’. A better headline "Mine Collapses after miners perform Harlem Shake"
Shake your way
to a life of unemployment and repossession!
I almost didn’t
include this topic as I didn’t want to warn people about the possibility of
losing their job from performing the Harlem Shake at work. The more people
sacked for continuing this ridiculous craze, the better.
A Facebook
page calling for the miner’s reinstatement had been set up with users telling
the sacked employees to talk to their union. “Dear union bosses, we think it is
extremely unfair that we have been sacked for spending the time we are paid to
work otherwise engaged, shaking our asses”.
