Strange News

This is a really random post but I'm bored at work and was looking on KUTV to see what kind of news was going on. I came across a few stories that just made me laugh. I'll can think about is how there must be no news to report on. My favorite one is about the gnomes. It's probably just me but I thought these three stories were strangely funny.

Homeless Gnomes Rescued
More than 1,500 gnomes were left homeless after their owner died and left her collection behind in Australia. Fortunately the gnomes were saved from destruction and are being placed in 'foster' homes. The gnomes will reportedly be reunited for an annual gnome convention next January.

Woman Plans To Marry Roller Coaster
A 33-year-old woman from Pennsylvania suffers from a condition where people develop sexual feelings towards objects. As a result she has fallen in love with a roller coaster and it's a fairly long distance relationship because she lives about 80 miles from the ride. The woman says she rides the coaster 300 times a year.

Ear Stitched Into Woman's Bottom
After a piece of her ear was severed in a fight, surgeons in Germany had to wait for damage to the side of the woman's head was repaired before reattaching the ear. So in the meantime they stitched the severed lobe into a pocket in her bottom to keep it safe until they could operate.
The woman's ear was bitten off in a fight and doctors' first attempts to reattach the ear were not successful. Doctors believe that the ear will not be rejected by the woman's body when they do operate.
