Hmmm. Does the story of Christine Newton-John exercising her husband to death fall into the >weirder than weird files? I think so. So Christine Newton-John wasn’t born that way.

Blech!
It’s a really good thing I didn’t see this while I had the flu. Having it described in such vivid detail makes me wanna hurl. I’ll never look at a can of mushrooms or spaghetti sauce the same way again.
Uh, Where Did We Park The Car?
Here’s a lesson for burglars. Lock your getaway vehicle, or don’t leave it running and unoccupied, or something.
