Thai Police Go Undercover in Drag, Giant Walnut Whip Crowns Queen Victoria, Sydney Festival Drones Fall from Sky, Mystery Bird Leg in Church Bathroom & 8-Day-Old Baby in Drink Drive Crash
from Daily Strange: Top 5 Bizarre News Stories From Around the World · host Topstone Media
In Thailand, narcotics officers dress in drag to pull off an undercover sting operation — approaching a suspected methamphetamine supplier without raising suspicion and seizing over fifty meth pills on the spot. In Leeds, an artist places a giant polystyrene Walnut Whip on the head of a Queen Victoria statue overnight — locals stop for selfies before city officials remove it that same morning. At Sydney's Vivid festival, dozens of drones malfunction mid-show and plunge into Darling Harbour, cutting the light display short — then a separate part of the show draws complaints for being inappropriate at a family event. A professional cleaner doing a routine job at a US church finds a bird's foot sitting next to a toilet with no explanation — the church staff dispose of it and carry on. And on the M50 motorway in Ireland, a car crashes into a barrier and flips onto its roof — inside is a 37-year-old woman and an eight-day-old baby, and the woman is arrested on suspicion of drink driving. The Daily Strange — where truth is always weirder than fiction.
