Hi everyone,

I have to let you all in on a secret! One of the things I love about being a reporter is that when I’m researching my stories, I sometimes come across some offbeat and weird headlines. These stories often come up in conversation when I’m hanging out with friends and family. The reactions to these stories vary from HUH? to WHAT! SERIOUSLY…? YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING! One thing is for sure though the stories can crack a smile! So I’ve decided to make a weekly blog where I post some of the best and strangest stories I come across.

This blog will be updated every Monday so I hopefully I can make that 1st day of the work week a little easier on you!

CAT PREDICTS DEATHS IN NURSING HOMES
(Yikes…..Can you imagine, what would you do?)

Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means they have less than four hours to live.

(Does this mean vegansexuals would stay away from true love if that special someone happens have a tender spot for In and Out? hmmmm)

A new phenomenon in New Zealand they call themselves “vegansexuals” - people who don’t eat any meat or animal products and who choose not to be sexually intimate with non-vegan partners whose bodies, they say, are made up of dead animals.
