Is it just us, or does it seem like the guy who wrote this story ate some naughty mushrooms before doing so:

Chinese authorities are investigating claims that so-called ‘ping pong eggs’ circulating throughout the country are making men sterile.

The eggs, which bounce after being boiled, have been appearing in “small numbers” and are suspected to be fake due to them being too hard to eat.

Whaaa?

Dang. And we actually liked that “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm” song.

Oh wait…

The rollercoaster that costs an arm and a leg: Thorpe Park’s new £20m ride The Swarm has urgent redesign after dummies return from test run with limbs snapped off .

You know what this means don’t you? That millions of people will want to ride that rollercoaster. (It’s probably why we’re seeing those pics, eh?)

Pics of limbless dummies over there.

Uh…what?

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – A Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in to his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on Saturday.

With no food?! For two months?! In the cold?! We’re calling hoax. Impossible!

The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found Friday, emaciated and too weak to utter more than a few words.

He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a car wreck until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.

The man, who was laying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since December 19.

Okay, maybe we shouldn’t call hoax. But there has to be more information to come. Like maybe he had a cooler full of meatballs with him when he got stuck. Or a dog…

We’ll keep you posted.

P.S. Whatever happened, we need to add that we hope the guy recovers fully and quickly.

Take it away, guys:

Now to the story:

Is it a case of mass hysteria? That’s what one doc thinks. More at the link.

We’ve done a bunch of stories on mass hysteria outbreaks over the years. One of the wildest: “The Great Seattle Windshield Epidemic,” in Uncle John’s Slightly Irregular Bathroom Reader (page 413).  (You can read it here.)
