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.
This week was a good one, with news from the UK, Pakistan, Africa, and right here in NJ! Special thanks to Ray Engleking for submitting a couple.
