Weird news thread

This is a thread for weird news stories from around the world. Let's try and keep it at least vaguely politics free, and from at least vaguely reliable sources.

Egypt zoo accused of painting donkey to look like a zebra

A zoo in Egypt has denied painting black stripes on a donkey to make it look like a zebra after a photo of the animal appeared online.

Student Mahmoud Sarhan put the images on Facebook after visiting Cairo's International Garden municipal park.

Aside from its small size and pointy ears, there were also black smudges on its face.

The pictures quickly went viral, with experts weighing in on the species of the animal.

Coca-Cola 'YOU RETARD' Bottle Cap Forces Company To Apologize To Edmonton Family

Coca-Cola has apologized to an Edmonton family after an unacceptable message was found underneath the cap of one of its drinks.

Blake Loates was shocked to find the words "YOU RETARD" printed inside the cap of a Vitamin Water bottle while out for dinner with her husband Tuesday night.

"We immediately thought 'You have got to be kidding me,'" she told the Huffington Post Alberta.

"We thought it might have been a disgruntled employee or someone in a (bottling) plant playing a joke."

Her father, Doug, was equally shocked at the message, considering his younger daughter Fiona has cerebral palsy and autism.

"You see,the "R" word is considered a swear word in our family. We don't use it. We don't tolerate others using it around us. We ARE over-sensitive but you would be too if you had Fiona for a daughter!"

I'm going to a special level of hell for finding that funny.

I'll allow it. Almost anything involving Steven Seagal is nuts.
