WEIRD NEWS: Four Idiots Are Up a Tree

A visit to "the most magical place on earth" will likely be the last for four guys who tried to climb a Disney World landmark.

Witnesses watched as security pulled four men off the iconic Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom park. The climbers had gotten about a third of the way up the enormous fake tree before security arrived and got them down. One witness, who posted a photo of the climbers on Reddit, says they were led out of the park and presumably banned from ever visiting again. It's not known if they are also facing charges.

WEIRD NEWS: The Grinch Tries to Steal Christmas Again

An Evangelical pastor who tried to ruin Christmas last year for kids waiting to see Santa at a mall in Texas, played the role of Grinch again last week in Alaska.

Pastor David Grisham traveled to the Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska and filmed himself as he taunted parents and told kids waiting in line that Santa is not real and is just a man in a costume used to perpetuate the lies that their parents are telling them about Christmas. Grisham told them that there are no flying reindeer and that Christmas is about Jesus and not about toys.

Although most people there did their best to ignore him, a few people approached him and asked him to leave, which he eventually did after he finished delivering his message.


WEIRD NEWS: Drunk as a Skunk (but Actually a Possum)

Employees of a Florida liquor store opened their doors on the Friday after Thanksgiving and found a passed-out intruder who wasn't playing possum -- because she was a possum, a really drunk one!

Wildlife control officer Michelle Pettis said that workers from Cash's Liquor brought in the woozy critter after scooping it up from a shelf, where it was apparently sleeping off a bender -- from drinking most of a bottle of bourbon it had knocked off a shelf in the middle of the night. Store owner Cash Moore said it was "pretty damn unusual," but presumed the possum was over 21.

Pettis said the opossum appeared disoriented and drooling, but seemed to be back to 100 percent after taking in some fluids.
