Just skimming through the latest news headlines and boy is there some weird stuff going on in the world at the moment. Here are just a few of some of the funny, weird and bizarre news stories making headlines today.

The Telegraph reports that a city council candidate in Brazil has been arrested after she was caught allegedly handing out cocaine with her election leaflets. Apparently police became suspicious when they saw a crowd allegedly gathering around her car on the morning of election day on Sunday.  I wonder if that will catch on here in SA.Click HERE to find out more.

Also in the Telegraph this morning two witnesses claim they saw a lion "on the prowl" in a residential area of Bedford Essex. I am going to have to say that I think is bollocks. The so called "eye witnesses" happen to be two old women. I am pretty sure that a lion running around England would cause a something of a commotion. Click HERE to find out more.

This is just freaky. CBS Atlanta reports that the owner of Metro Embalming and Crematory, had his license suspended after it was reported that he dismembered an 800-pound body in order to fit it into the crematory. The police investigated and reported that this was not illegal. I would be pretty pissed off if someone did that to someone I loved. Click HERE to find out more.

This kind of makes sense. A leading in the UK has suggested that the end of the age of “easy credit” could have helped slow the rise in the divorce rate by making it harder for angry partners to call in lawyers. It could mean that one unexpected consequence of recession has been to force some people to pause before embarking on the process of divorce. Click HERE to find out more.

A New York state multimillionaire who has spent more than $65,000 on matchmaking services in the past 12 years said the dating services are a "rip-off." No shit Sherlock. Larry Greenfield, 47, a securities trader from Plainview, said he has tried six different agencies and met 250 different women. I am going to hazard a guess and say that the problem might just be him and not the women. Click HERE to find out more.
