Here are the top ten headlines...

❿ The radio station that had their 200-foot radio tower stolen. ❾ 68 million Americans plan to bet on this year's football spectacular. ❽ Nuclear fusion is back in the headlines... we've talked about it before on this podcast because it's just weird, isn't it? You guys, how does it even work? Just kidding. I don't want to know. ❼ I love this one from the TV Spy website... Canadian broadcasters wear the same outfit for a week to see if anyone notices. ❻ The lady who returned her couch to Costco... because she didn't like it anymore. It was two years old. ❺ A suspected spy that was detained for eight months has been released... police thought a pigeon was a Chinese spy... ❹ This one was covered by everyone, but it's funny and weird so we're covering it too... the three year old boy in Australia who wanted to get the prize out of the claw machine, climbed in there, and got stuck. ❸ From Hoops, the Weird News Bureau Chief at UPI... I saw this headline a few different places. But we put the link to Hoops' story in today's show notes... The man from France who made a world record tall Eiffel Tower out of matchsticks. ❷ Another Valentine's story as we get closer to the day of love and the day of feeling scorned. There's a company in the news who will Name a junk car after your ex and then squish it. 🍅 We have an honorable mention... This publicity stunt gets full marks for trying to promote recycling and also for the most amazing website... https://flushyourex.whogivesacrap.org ... ❶ It's not a funny story. It's just weird you guys and I don't know what it means. Researchers hope that someday it'll cure cancer. I'm paraphrasing a bit there. This has to do with the radioactive wolves in Chernobyl.

See you next Friday for another countdown of weird news!!

Scott.
