Reading through this, as I was noticing it was from the always interesting WEEKLY WORLD NEWS, my thought was "this is humor worthy of a FReeper" and developed a new and surprising appreciation for WWN, and its "range". Now I see it's not humor. I don't know the lesson here...."Truth is not stranger THAN fiction", but "Truth is Stranger AS Fiction" perhaps?
Certainly better than SNL and The Daily Show combined.
