Published by Odd Dad Out on

Spring has sprung, at least in Arizona, and I’m definitely feeling it. I can’t really say the same for the rest of the country. The news has been pretty random this week.

  • Restaurant Serves Tarantula Burger

A North Carolina restaurant is currently offering up a $30 burger made from pasture-raised North Carolina beef, gruyere cheese, and an oven-roasted tarantula  topped with spicy chili sauce. If you want to try the spider sandwich, you must enter a raffle and be selected to get one. If you successfully eat the tarantula burger, you get a t-shirt.

 

A London man, outraged with the extreme price of train tickets, bought a used car to drive 100 miles to visit a friend. The car, insurance, fuel, and taxes, actually cost a few dollars less than the over $300 train ticket.
