Bizarre: Warcraft III players to carry olympic torch


The competition was fierce, but when XiaoFeng "Sky" Li and Jaeho "Moon" Jang totally r0x0r3d some n00bz via Ub3r l337 pWn4g3!1 GamesIndustry reports they were bestowed a strange IRL quest -- carrying the Olympic torch!

"'Being a torch bearer at the Olympics is a momentous event, and this is a historic moment which will remain etched in their memories. This is symbolic of how much e-sports has grown and is great for the advancement of e-sports not only in China, but around the world,' he added."

Bravo China. Here's hoping World of Warcraft becomes an official Olympic sport before 2012!

Poor Sap: Owner of house hit by 5 meterorites blames aliens


Looks like this Bosnian man pissed off one too many extraterrestrials.

The Daily Mail reports experts at Belgrade University have confirmed the astounding: all five rocks striking Radivoje Lajic's home were meteorites.

"I am obviously being targeted by extraterrestrials," Lajic said. "I don't know what I have done to annoy them but there is no other explanation that makes sense ... they are playing games with me."

Bizarre: Stalking priest apologizes to Conan O' Brien

Remember that crazy priest-stalker who was trying to hunt down Conan O'Brien late last year?

He apologized yesterday, and the courts only slapped him with a two year restraining order.

Still, a guy's gotta stalk, and with this Holy Joe's fixation on Irish celebs one can only wonder who he'll obsess on next.

Liam Neeson? Mia Farrow? Ronald McDonald? The list is endless ...

For those who don't remember, he's a snippet from the spiffy court document linked on The Smoking Gun.

"In his notes to O'Brien, Ajemian allegedly referred to himself as 'your priest stalker,' and when he was denied entry to a taping, Ajemian wrote, 'Is this the way you treat your most dangerous fans?' In his bizarre letters, Ajemian refers to John McEnroe as his "childhood nemesis," claiming that the tennis star once assaulted him while they were seventh grade classmates at a Manhattan private school. Ajemian added that he 'once went after' McEnroe and was 'still waiting for his confession as well.'"
