From absurd laws to oddities, through freaks and geeks, weird festival, habits and many other strange things.... Here is a nice gallery about the strangest news available on the web.
"If you thought you summer cockroach infestation was bad, you'll never believe how many creepy-crawlers Kyle Kandilian deals with. The 20-year-old Dearborn, Michigan native has about 200,000 cockroaches living in his house - on purpose! Kandilian has been raising cockroaches for almost eight years, and even started a business selling some as food and the more exotic species as pets."
"An international team of astronomers has detected what they say is the furthest galaxy away from our Milky Way galaxy ever discovered. Astronomers say that the newly discovered galaxy is 30 billion light years away from the Earth. The distant galaxy was discovered using the Hubble Space Telescope and then confirmed using the Keck Observatory in Hawaii. Astronomers gave the galaxy an incredibly creative name. The distant galaxy is called z8_GND_5296. The astronomers believe that the light from the galaxy shows it as it was 13.1 billion years ago. Scientists also say that the galaxy is so far away from the earth that we’re seeing it as it was 700 million years after the Big Bang." Read more:www.slashgear.com
"A new documentary about Mayan civilization proves they made contact with extraterrestrials.
“Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond,” proves that Mayans had contact with extraterrestrials. Producer Raul Julia-Levy told WWN that the evidence is “overwhelming.” And the Mexican government is backing him up."
.....
"Luis Augusto Garcia Rosado, the minister of tourism for the Mexican state of Campeche, said new evidence has emerged “of contact between the Mayans and extraterrestrials, supported by translations of certain codices, which the government has kept secure in underground vaults for some time.”
He also referenced “landing pads in the jungle that are 3,000 years old.”
Raul-Julia claims there is proof that the Mayans intended to lead the planet for thousands of years, but were forced to escape after an invasion by “men of dark intentions,” leaving behind evidence of an advanced race."
"There were numerous reports of aliens spotted in the jungles of Brazil. Several of the aliens were caught on camera by two British tourists visiting the Mamaus region of the Amazon. Standing just a few feet from a mesmerizing flashing light, were several children of the Amazon. As biologically diverse as the Amazon is, scientists could not identify the creature and it did not appear to be a natural inhabitant of the Brazilian jungle or, Earth." Read more:weeklyworldnews.com
"Despite science fiction's fondness for alien invasions, the first signs of life on another planet most likely won't come from radio beacons, let alone ships decimating the White House with giant energy beam. They may not come from Earth robots hunting for life, either. Instead, the first evidence for life may be in the form of passive signals, telltale signs of life and its processes, that astronomers will find in a planet's atmosphere. And those could very well come from the most passive life forms we know: plants.
Planets that have atmospheres at all are a good place to start looking for life — as far as we know, life (of any sort) needs a layer of gas covering a rocky world, which provides energy sources and protection from the unfriendly environment of space. "

"A man and his partner were travelling along the A50 when they spotted the object about 15 minutes into their journey.The man noticed a “very bright light in the sky” which he said moved too slowly to be an aeroplane and at very low altitudes.He said it had a small blinking light beneath it and flew over Carsington water at a height of around 100ft, before vanishing."

"Research by an University of Oxford scientist has found a genetic match between an ancient polar bear and samples said to come from the Yeti - suggesting the creature known as the Abominable Snowman is still living in the Himalayas. It is one of the world’s most enduring mysteries, attracting both curiosity and fear.
Now, a British scientist may have finally solved the riddle of the yeti, the fabled apelike creature said to inhabit the upper ranges of the Himalayas.
Research by Professor Bryan Sykes, a geneticist from the University of Oxford, has not only uncovered a genetic match between samples thought to come from the elusive creature and another that lived more than 40,000 years ago, but also suggests the beast is still roaming the mountains."

"Halloween is almost upon us, that time of year when we start carving pumpkins,dressing up as Breaking Bad characters and scaring the living daylights out of anyone who has displeased us with a zombie flash mob.
The latter pastime is a recent addition to the spooky canon, with a costume company offering to organise ‘fright mobs’ for people wanting to terrify their friends."
"Below are some newsreel clips from live broadcasts on Peru News reports. Peru is the third largest UFO sightings country in the world behind U.S. and Mexico. In these clips you will see tiny white spheres floating and stange exhaust patterns from the UFOs that appear to be hovering for extended periods of time. "
"For years, astronomers have been hunting for other planets capable of supporting life. Those efforts have relied on ground-based telescopes and spacecraft, in an attempt to identify clues about the conditions of worlds thousands of light years away. But the entire search depends on one fundamental, widely-accepted premise — that these planets must exist within the "habitable zone," a narrow band around other stars where an orbiting planet’s surface would not be too hot, but also not too cold, to support liquid water. Now, several astronomers are making a provocative suggestion: broaden the search far beyond planets like Earth, to include other strange worlds, from Dune-like planets with almost no liquid water, to gaseous giants with atmospheres full of hydrogen."
