[edit] Information

Worlds Weirdest Events Weird is right. Can you imagine goats injected with a spider gene so they produce silk in their milk? How about a macaque giving another monkey CPR after it was electrocuted on an Indian railway? Birds that were mysteriously burnt alive mid-flight? Chris Packham (looking very Reservoir Dogs in his shades and suit as he strides around the desert) links footage of some truly bizarre events, which may turn your stomach as well as make your jaw drop. The pulsating crimson blob discovered in a sewer is revolting, whereas siphonophores (no, I hadn’t heard of them either) look like exquisite glass sculptures even though the way they grow is odd.
