Usually we get most of our Weird and Wacky Wednesdays from Florida, but today we have all three stories from the land down under, Australia! Hemispheres don’t matter when it comes to unexpected and unbelievable. Their stories are just as weird and wacky if not more than the usual ones that we get on our weekly roundup. It’s good to see that we are all really just same, regardless of accents and distance. For this week, we have snakes on a surfboard, a post-post-post-partum lawsuit and a meth experiment gone wrong.

This week we’re still dealing with food, but this time it’s fast-food lawsuits.
