I've got a speech in class tomorrow and need to cite 3 "strange but true" sort of stories, and while google returns a few interesting results, I have a feeling these will be gobbled up in short order, and I'd rather get some cooler stuff anyway

The rules:
*It can't be X rated
*It has to be from a news source...

Thanks so much! I'm sure we'll all get a few laughs from these.
Aloha

News of the Weird. We run it every week in the paper I work for. And he keeps archives several months back, so no worries about running out of material.
