Every Friday I share my favorite absurd news articles of the past week. They highlight the absurd, hilarious, and just plain weird people and situations from around the world. I typically try to stick to American news, but I usually end up posting a few articles from other countries too. I also try to stay away from celebrity news and politically-driven stories.
Today's my last day of work for the semester so I'm going to do my Friday post early. After this week I may go on hiatus until next semester, depending on how exciting my winter break is. So here we go! SUPER POST THURSDAY!
