Weird World News...

It's time again to break from reality and take a peek at some of the more bizarre things that have happened in our world.

Three Cheesus Pizza...

The Holy Trinity might need to be re-written as dough, tomato sauce, and mozzarella. Last month in Brisbane, a pizza emerged from the oven at Posh Pizza bearing the likeness of Jesus.A fluke or miracle, the unlikely image quickly became the talk of the town. While many see Jesus, others see a variety of famous bearded men (including Viggo Mortensen and Christian Bale). ''It's open to interpretation as many of these crazy, out there things are,'' employee Maree Phelan, who made the pizza in question, told the Herald Sun. The store auctioned the vacuum-sealed pizza on Ebay, raising $153 ($164 US) for charity.

Your Plasma or Your Life!?

Aaron Homer, 24, was sentenced to three years of probation in an Arizona court last month for stabbing his roommate, Robert Maley. The incident occurred following an argument over sucking blood. Homer and his girlfriend Amanda Williamson initially claimed self-defense when police arrived following a report of gunfire at the apartment. The couple later admitted to stabbing 25-year-old Maley after he refused to let them suck his blood. Homer told police he became enraged when Maley made fun of the couple for being pagan and into "vampire stuff." (Police report available at Smoking Gun) Maley fled the scene, fearful of arrest on outstanding warrants.

Homo Erectus Flamboyantensis?

Have scientists found an early case of homosexuality? Here's what infoMania's Brian Safi has to say:

Scooby Doo, Where Are You?

Zoinks!

I kid you not. Police in Queensland, Australia are hunting down Scooby-Doo.

An unidentified man dressed in a Scooby costume gallivanted onto the track during the final race at the Ipswich Cup on June 14th. The costume was rented from the aptly-named Hidden Identity Costumes at Cleveland in Redland City using a stolen driver's license and hasn't been returned. The owner stated, "he has definitely lost his $40 [deposit]".

Police have yet to track down the man, making this Scooby-Doo one of Australia's most wanted. Anyone knowing the identity or whereabouts of the prankster is asked to contact Ipswich police.

Not even Shaggy can get him out of this mess...

A Penultimate Resting Place...

More than just houses might be disturbed in Southport...

This suburb in Queensland, Australia is facing change. Queen Street, the oldest in the community, will follow a new proposed rapid transit route. There is a decision to be made: do they lose 60 homes, 100 graves in Southport Cemetery, or half the road?

The cemetery was established in 1880... around the time an interesting ghost story first appeared in local lore: the ghost of a giant.

Pioneer Tom Cowderoy first encountered the apparition while returning home along a footpath near the present-day street. He described it as a "large apparition, coloured a greyish white,... higher than the tops of the trees." Cowderoy stopped to watch the spirit for a while before his fear became too great. He walked onward, avoiding any glances at the spirit, until he finally peeked enough to notice the ghost was actually following beside him. He quickened his pace and didn't look back the rest of the journey.

And no, Cowderoy did not drink.

Who knows. Perhaps this little bit of excavation could reawaken the old spook. Let's just hope they don't disturb too many graves and create more Gold Coast hauntings of a shorter stature...
