Weird News: Urine Soaked Eggs Just in Time for Easter & Hard Studded Spiny Penis Facts

News happens every second of every day, and if we are lucky enough, there is someone there to catch it at the very moment it happens. Even though some things may seem thoroughly unbelievable, the fact remains that some misprints, comments, events and circumstances are just too far fetched to make up.

Far from normal, these weird headlines, news, advertisements and billboards across the world have been found and collected by truth seekers and eagle eyes around the planet to entertain your thoughts; making for some fantastic moments in time that may stir up a deep down belly laugh; or not.

Easter Eggs & Urine: No coloring needed, they are already a deep shade of yellow, and just in time for Easter: As you walk through the streets of Dongyong, China, the smell of spring wafts through the air, and no, it is not the sweet aroma of blooming tulips or savory ham baking away in the local ovens. It is a spring treat that is considered by most, "a must have" nourishment.

Egg vendors begin collecting urine samples from school boys who urinate into plastic buckets. After enough urine is collected, the citizens of Dongyang then boil eggs in large pots filled with the urine. They continue to simmer them for an entire day or until the desired richness is achieved. Once they are at their fullest flavor, these spring treats sell for 23 cents each, and they literally fly out of the urine buckets faster than greased lightning.

*Note* This Easter treat was originally found by fellow AC contributor Roy Barnes, and passed onto yours truly so that I may share it with you in time for the holiday. http://www.ministryoftofu.com/2011/03/boy-urine-soaked-eggs-listed-as-local-specialty-intangible-cultural-heritage/

Tough Decision; Open a Savings Account or Rob the Bank? This is what Daniel E. Rahynes, 35, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania had to decide. After tossing it around a bit, he figured that the latter was the quickest possible way to get cash while not dealing with the stress of saving the money first. Unfortunately, he had already given the Metro Bank two forms of I.D. that was used to track down the money grubbing thief later when he got into a car accident while driving under the influence that same afternoon. The arriving state troopers became suspicious, ran a check, and discovered that he was guilty of more then a simple fender bender. Robbery charges will be added to his list of talents and creative endeavors.

Studded Hard Penis Facts: The very act of having sex would not be the same if man had not adopted a more monogamous reproductive strategy. In fact the original make up of the penis was apparently studded with small hard spines. Ouch! Researchers at Stanford University in California have been looking into the fascinating facts involving the evolution of specific human traits. The researchers concluded that the loss of a particular chunk of non-coding DNA that influences the expression of the androgen receptor gene involved in hormone signaling is the very reason for the loss of the unattractive and hard spiny penis, and developed into the more naturally smoother one.
