My cousin had a giant - yes, Giant like 15 feet high giant - flamingo that he would proudly display on his front lawn every spring. And during spring, summer or fall he would awake to find it stolen. Giant flamingoes are hard to hide and most of the time the thief was a subdivision neighbor who did it as a prank. This was before home security cameras. Eventually someone took it never to be found again.

I swear Neatorama is obsessed with finding articles of the strange and unusual, knowing full well that I am a sucker for these stories. Yes, it's obvious that I am that important to Neatorama, but I haven't let it go to my head. BTW, I want my 1:09 minutes back for that chicken video.

How many times *whack* did I tell you *whack* not to throw stones *whack* at the tourists?!? You *whack, whack, whack* throw poop!

Never heard of the Blue Picts from Scotland? They were a heavily tattooed tribe with blue ink markings. They were NOT pixies...

My daughter bought one but you can't walk too far inside the greenhouse. She's had hers for 3 yrs now and it's still fine after some Michigan winters.

Sounds like a bunch of crock to me.

I babysat 2 kids that had been adopted so they were spoiled and did as they liked. One night the boy - 10 - decides he doesn't want to go to bed and he disappears. It's dark out and I have searched the house, all 3 levels, and he's nowhere to be found. I go outside and I find him by the gas meter lighting matches. Last time I ever watched those kids.I also babysat for a 6 month old boy whose mother insisted that he eat only mashed carrots and baby formula. This went on for months until he turned bright -almost glow in the dark- orange and his dad took him away and filed for divorce.

I saw a seal. After reading this article I could see a donkey but nothing more.

How about a bad case of the every days? I keep waiting for things to get better...
