The wackiest headlines from the week as they would appear in a Classifieds section.
SEA CLIFF MAYOR: Robert Ehrlich, the founder of Pirate’s Booty cheese puffs, declared himself winner of the Sea Cliff mayoral election on Long Island despite only receiving 62 votes and losing to the village’s incumbent with 1,064 votes.
AQUATIC DOORMAN: A Dutch city is broadcasting an underwater livestream of fish swimming through a lock system, and people watching can click a virtual doorbell that tells workers the fish need to be let through a hatch. Since the livestream was set up five years ago, millions of viewers all around the world have worked together to help these fish finish their springtime migration to get busy.
FUN RUN: There were no finishers in this year’s Barkley Marathons, an extremely perilous and peculiar race that consists of five 20+ mile loops in Frozen Head State Park, TN. The ultra-ultramarathon often has no finishers and offers no bragadocious car decals once completed.
CHANGING LANES: LA Dodgers star Mookie Betts bought a team in the World Bowling League, a professional bowling startup. It’s always the last person you expect who’s going to whip out a perfect game and ruin your birthday party.
LOOSE CORN: Please, it’s all over the road. A semi-truck crash spilled enough kernels to cover all lanes of a Georgia highway.
THRIFT FLIP: A woman from Ohio bought a painting she thought was kind of ugly at a local Goodwill for $2.99. It ended up selling for $2,875 at auction after it was discovered to be a piece by famed impressionist Johann Berthelsen. This is why you can’t give up on all those little horse figurines.—MM
