Very Weird News of Dead Man Elected Mayor In Tennessee!

It’s the voter’s way of sending a message to politicians they have grown tired or

distrustful of, sort of a “Thanks for coming, now get out and don’t let the screen door smack you in the butt.”
The good folks of Tracy City, Tennessee, population 1,679, have just done that to their mayor, and boy did they ever send a message.
On Tuesday they chose Carl Robin Geary Sr. over the incumbent, Mayor Barbara Brook.
What’s truly amazing is Geary died back on March 10.
“I knew he was deceased, I know that sounds stupid, but we wanted someone other than her,” said Chris Rogers in the Chattanooga Times Free Press

Mr. Geary, an alderman in Tracy City since 2006 and known for always wearing overalls, campaigned on straight talk, according to supporters.
At his funeral exactly one month before the election, someone propped up one of his campaign signs among the floral arrangements.

Fish Falling From Sky


In Lajamanu, Australia on Feb. 25th and Feb 26th it rained fish!

"It rained fish" said Christine Balmer; "They fell from the sky everywhere!"

Mrs. Balmer, the aged care co-ordinator at the Lajamanu Aged Care Centre said: "I haven't lost my marbles," "Thank God it didn't rain crocodiles!"

Spontaneous Combustion

This story is from Ottawa, Canada. On Feb. 24th of this year two young women
were saved by the Gatineau fire department. They are quite lucky to be alive after a pile of clothes spontaneously combusted!
"Spontaneous combustion, it does happen," Deputy Fire Chief Edouard LaRocque said.
