Weird, super bizarre, uncanny things have been happening since the dawn of time, but with the advent of hyper connectivity, the world witnesses strange happenings faster than ever. And, as with anything, the deeper you dig, the stranger things get. Sure,
a Jedi hanging out in a supermarket is a little odd, but not as creepy as, say, a
vampiric lamp from hell. And with a couple simple Google searches, it's even possible to discover that
robots make better proctologists than doctors (imagine
that one while falling asleep at night). Our universe is indeed wacky, and only gets curiouser the more exposed we become (and we are indeed exposed, with
background-checking iPhone apps running amuck). So instead of ending this week with the most absurd story we could find, we're just going to close out by saying at least our technology isn't as
erratic as that found in Hollywood horr films. Some other stranger-than-fiction news that you may have missed:
