– – Animal impersonations tend not to win many talent competitions, especially when they’re offered unsolicited in the middle of the night… and so one boozy German who regaled his neighbors by bleating like a sheep and doing other animal impressions, some for as long as twenty minutes, found himself arrested in the Bavarian town of Coburg on Sunday.
The 49-year-old man had an extremely high blood alcohol content, and became “unreasonable and aggressive” when police tried to get him to cease his bleating…I guess his impersonations were pretty baaad, and neighbors wanted to be counting sheep rather than hearing them…

– – When a Montana woman found a 200-pound black bear attacking her 12-year-old collie in her backyard early Thursday after midnight, she screamed to divert the bear’s attention from her dog. The bear then charged the woman, taking a swipe at her with its paw and tearing her jeans (of course you know, this means war)!
Driven backwards, the woman then jumped back and grasped the nearest object on the kitchen counter inside the doorway. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and so the woman grabbed one of the most loathed vegetables that the Creator in his wisdom ever put on the face of the earth…a zucchini!
Yes, and it was a big zucchini, too, a 12-incher harvested earlier from her garden! Flinging the dreaded vegetable at the bear from a distance estimated at 3 feet (point blank range), the woman bopped the bruin on the top of his head, and he wisely fled! Probably the bear feared that he might be forced to eat the horrid thing…that oughta teach him!
(…I don’t like zucchinis, but I do respect them!)

– – You gotta give the Syfy channel credit for trying to please us, and Beast Legends starting September 9th at 10:00 in my area just might be the ticket! Billed as an “investigative adventure series,” Legends features a team of a globetrotting animal doctor, a Harvard professor of evolutionary biology, a gifted illustrator, and a mythology maven as they explore the truth behind some of the world’s most renowned creatures. Your payoff will be a life-like computer-generated model of the creature investigated depicted living in the real world at the end of each show, kinda like the mortal combat simulations shown at the end of Deadliest Warrior matchings.
The show will follow season four of Destination Truth, which could make Thursday night quite a draw on Syfy for our types!- –All hail the mighty Kraken!

– – I’ve confessed before to having a weakness for Catwoman, and can you really blame me? It turns out, however, that a real-life “Cat-Lady” was staging robberies of boutiques in Queens and Manhattan in New York City, wearing a variety of disguises that included…(dramatic pause)…a cheesy cat mask! Her wanted posters were unusual, to say the least…crank up the Bat-Signal, Commissioner Gordon!
The felonious feline’s daytime identity was that of a death-metal band singer, who performed under the stage name of Purgatory. Now her evil-doing days are over, and Gotham City is safe again!
This was, of course, a pale impersonation of the genuine article, whose whip this wanna-be is not worthy to carry…Meow!

– – Gee, we’ve had Shark Week and now we’re into Elvis Week, and we pause to remember that the King of Rock ‘n Roll would have been 75 had he lived! The author of Alien Rock: The Rock ‘N’ Roll Extraterrestrial Connection also shares with us that a strange, unidentified blue light reportedly hovered in the night skies above Tupelo, Mississippi the night that Elvis was born on January 8, 1935. This light was seen by the doctor who delivered Elvis and also was seen by his father, who later told the King all about it.
Elvis was a bit spacey himself, amassing a personal collection of about 350 books on New Age subjects, including a few specifically about UFO’s. Other major musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, and Michael Jackson were famous UFO believers, too.–What’s the connection?–They’re all “naturally open and creative individuals,” according to Michael Luckman, author of Alien Rock…

– – Seen at the Great British Beer Festival was chicken hat man, who does not appear to be enjoying himself. We can only speculate why this gentleman appears grumpy; is it because he thought he was going to a costume party?- -Did someone diss his hat?- -Is it part of the English tradition of keeping a stiff upper lip?- -Is he an undercover agent for PETA offering a visual commentary on the sad fate of poultry?- -Is he disaffected because all of the fox costumes were rented?
Who are we to judge?- – And some things, no doubt, we are better off not knowing…

– – I, for one, am grateful to these felines for covering up what might have otherwise been an unsightly display of less than buff human epidermis. You may surmise that these cats are not overly pleased with having assumed this duty, and I feel their pain. I would not be overly happy in their situation, either…
We will not get into a discussion of why some humans choose to have their pictures taken in the buff with their pets, leaving such considerations to philosophers and psychologists. You may wish, however, to see more of the same at Awkwardfamilypetphotos.com, as well as images of monkeys in dresses and families with snakes wrapped around their necks…

– – For those of you hungry for a MonsterQuest fix, Syfy’s new show Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files may offer you an alternative. The show has been described as what Fox Mulder might have done after leaving the X-Files; in fact, the show features former FBI agent Ben Hansen. Adding to the diversified investigative team is a scientist, a journalist, an effects specialist, a photography expert, and a stunt expert who explore video submissions and famous paranormal footage to determine which can be validated or debunked through experimentation.
Topics investigated are a mixed bag that include UFO’s, ghosts, cryptids, and unexplained phenomenon. A lot of grainy videos are screened by the team in a “situation room” to weed out the obvious fakes and determine which cases are worthy of further investigation. While it’s too early to tell if this series will be a hit, if you liked Ghost Hunters, Paranormal State, and Destination Truth, you’ll probably like this one. Fact or Faked is a banquet, so take what you like, and leave the rest of it lying on the buffet table…we think it merits a look!

– – There aren’t many organisms that can continue to inflict harm upon you after death; jellyfish are one of them that can!
A dead jellyfish struck back from beyond at a New Hampshire beach earlier this week, stinging about 150 swimmers from beyond this mortal veil. The offender was a 50-pound lion’s mane jellyfish “about the size of a turkey platter,” according to one official. The jellyfish was killed by a lifeguard, but the gelatinous remains then were washed ashore, stinging swimmers as they went.
Nine children were taken to the hospital over concerns that they would have a bad allergic reaction, but no one was seriously injured. Jellyfish attacks are on the increase due to climate change, decreased competition for food due to overfishing, and nutrient-rich waters caused by pollution such as runoff from farms…

– – Once again a supposed chupacabra has reared his ugly head, again in Texas. In Hood County, an animal control officer shot and killed in an old barn an unsightly creature described as having deer-like ears, big teeth, and pinkish skin that was unlike anything he had seen before. A few days later and within ten miles, a rancher also shot and killed another of the bizarre creatures, leading some to speculate that there were a pack of them.
Hood County Animal Control has sent one of the deceased creatures to Texas A&M for DNA testing, but don’t bet the rent on it being a chupacabra. Until test results are in, doctors have only said that it’s some kind of coyote hybrid…very possibly with mange, I might add…
