From poop-powered marathons to a cobra-for-hire murder plot, this week’s stories redefine what “strange news” really means!
This episode of News with Bill is loaded with the weirdest headlines the world has to offer. I kick things off with a marathon runner who set a personal record after literally pooping herself mid-race—because apparently, endurance knows no limits. In Brazil, a man fleeing bees dove into piranha-infested waters and never came back out, while in Germany, an unlicensed “surgeon” was busted for illegal castrations. Over in India, a teen injected mercury to become Wolverine, and another man lived six months with a cell phone in his stomach. I also cover a teacher busted for handing out marijuana edibles as classroom prizes, a father who shot his son over bad guitar playing, and a man who opened fire over the wrong chicken wings. But the wildest story of all? An Indian husband rented a poisonous cobra to kill his wife and steal her jewelry. From food crimes to snake rentals, it’s a full buffet of bizarre, hilarious, and jaw-dropping tales you won’t believe are real.
