Freaky stories and even weirder headlines

These would give a certain Jay Leno weekly segment a run for its money.

“Space caramel made from giant jellyfish (in Obama of Japan)”
“In the latest move in Japan’s war on giant jellyfish, high school students in the town of Obama have developed a new type of caramel candy made from the enormous sea creatures – and they are offering it up as a snack for astronauts in space.”

“Banana sex cult leader splits after raid”
“PAPUA New Guinea police are hunting the leader of a sex cult who promised villagers a bumper banana harvest if they engaged in public sex.”

“Goat gives birth to a ‘human’; a faun”
“THE community of Lower Gweru and its surroundings in the Midlands Province was left shell-shocked when a goat gave birth to human-like creature that had the combined features of a man and a goat.”^[1]

[1] This is a silly story; a goat gave birth do a deformed kid (the actual name for young goats, so you know) that only vaguely (and stress that last word) resembled that of a human infant. Now, the Midlands Governor is claiming this is the result of bestiality. Someone, tell him that human-animal crossbreeding is biologically impossible, please? You can find (graphic and NSFW) pics of the dead, deformed infant here, here and here (warning: not for the squeamish).
