Scooby-Doo Burglar, Spoon Swallower, and Eye-Washing Urine: The Bizarre News You Never Knew You Needed

This is your News You do not Need podcast.

Today’s story is for everyone who’s ever wondered, “Could life get any stranger?” Did you wake up today genuinely concerned that thieves in Alabama might target your local shop dressed as fictional cartoon dogs? No? Well, neither did I, until this morning, when I discovered that someone in Alabama thought the best way to commit a robbery was not with a mask, but with a full Scooby-Doo costume. That’s right—while most criminals opt for dark hoodies or at least a pair of sunglasses, this particular thief decided to take the phrase “meddling kids” to a whole new level by channeling the world’s most cowardly Great Dane.

The burglary went down recently, and not only did this imposter of canine clumsiness loot a store but, in true cartoon fashion, he left onlookers baffled and police scratching their heads. I mean, if you’re going to break the law, you might as well do it with some panache—and possibly a tail. Witnesses reported a surreal scene as Scooby-Doo (or, you know, a creatively misguided human inside a Scooby suit) grabbed what they could and fled the scene, presumably without shouting, “Ruh-roh!” or dropping a trail of Scooby Snacks.

If you think that sounds odd, let’s hop over to China, where a man swallowed a spoon while drunk—no, I am not making this up—and only realized it wasn’t a bad dream six months later. He spent half a year with a metal spoon knocking around his insides, which seems less like a digestive mishap and more like the worst game of hide and seek ever played between a utensil and an upper GI tract. When he turned up at the hospital, the conversation must have been fun: “So, what seems to be the problem?” “Well, Doc, I think I ate my cutlery.” The medical team retrieved the spoon, and the patient has presumably sworn off both soup and late-night dares for the foreseeable future.

Speaking of things you really didn’t need to know, let’s take a moment for a Pune woman whose viral internet fame came not from cooking, acting, or cute pet videos, but from her decision to use urine as an eye wash. That’s right—because apparently, when life gives you lemons, some people just skip the lemonade and go straight for the, uh, alternative therapies. Social media, as you can imagine, is divided between disbelief and outright horror, with plenty of folks hoping this particular “home remedy” doesn’t catch on. Eye care experts everywhere have issued a collective facepalm.

If you’re still with me and your faith in daily reality is only mildly shaken, let’s not forget the recent drama in Bengaluru, where a Canadian man was floored to discover the local rental norm required a security deposit of 1.9 million rupees—about $23,000 US. His reaction? “Bonkers!” For context, that’s less of a deposit and more of a down payment on existential dread. It’s the sort of thing that makes you wonder if Bengaluru landlords are accepting tenants or collecting funding for their own private moon missions.

Here’s the bottom line: Today’s news won’t enrich your life, but it might just make you feel just a bit more normal by comparison. If you ever feel like your day is weird, just remember there’s someone out there, possibly in a Scooby-Doo suit, running from a store with stolen snacks, while halfway around the world another person is realizing the last six months of stomach aches were due to a misplaced spoon. And somewhere in between, a Canadian man is calculating how many organs he’d have to sell to rent an apartment in Bengaluru. Reality truly is stranger than fiction, especially when it’s the stuff you absolutely never needed to know.
