This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesday, in the UK a family’s neighbour called the police on their kids for playing outside, someone dyed the Grand Canal in Venice neon green and a Texas inmate was caught hiding something…somewhere thanks to a full-body scan.
Follow the jump for more of this week’s weirdest and wackiest cases from around the globe!
Neighbourly Nonsense
With the sun shining down on our gardens, it’s the perfect time to soak up some Vitamin D and enjoy outdoor activities. But it seems like not everyone shares the same enthusiasm.
And in the U.K., a mother and her sons were unfortunately forced to deal with their rude neighbours who anointed themselves as the self-proclaimed noise police.
The woman wanted her sons to enjoy the nice weather and suggested that they go outside to play in their garden. Trouble began brewing when the neighbours decided they did not like the sound of a bouncing basketball or the jubilant cries of victory. In an attempt to maintain peace, their mother agreed to a curfew of 10 pm for her boys.
I guess for the neighbours, 10 pm meant exactly, and not a minute or two later, which funnily enough was the number of minutes the boys played past their curfew, which led to the neighbours coming out into the street and yelling at them. Yes, you read that right, exactly two minutes.
They even threaten to call the police, and I guess one of them even followed through with that threat, as the police did show up the next day, the woman learned through her doorbell camera, as she was not home.
There’s no official update on the story, but through this wacky tale of overreacting neighbours and playful youngsters, one thing is clear: summertime mischief will not be silenced!
Venice’s Fluorescent Fashion Statement
In Venice, a vibrant spectacle of fluorescent green water has taken over a portion of the iconic Grand Canal, leaving locals and tourists alike in awe. While the cause of this extraordinary transformation remains a mystery, the authorities are on the case.
Speculation has run wild, with many pointing fingers at climate change activists as the culprits behind this striking transformation, due to past incidents of watercolour transformations in the country. However, no one has come forward to claim responsibility for this prank.
The Italian authorities have launched an investigation into the mysteriously green canal. and have even enlisted the assistance of the Italian fire service, which is currently conducting tests on water samples.
Everyone is early awaiting the reveal of the culprits who pulled off this crazy prank, after all, Venice is known for its timeless beauty, not its resemblance to a radioactive superhero headquarters.
Scissors in Strange Places
In Texas, at the La Porte County Jail, a truly scissor-y situation unfolded during an inmate’s intake process. Yes, you heard it right – a pair of scissors made a surprise appearance where no scissors should ever venture.
While undergoing a body scan, as the images started to be revealed on the screen, there, appeared to be the unmistakable shape of a foreign object nestled in the most unexpected of places – the anal cavity. And that object was none other than a pair of scissors!
The Lt. conducting the search was luckily able to remove the scissors without incident. Until next time, stay sharp, but not too sharp!
