Here is a roundup of some of our favorite strange Internet stories that have surfaced this past week.
Spidey Senses
We’ve all been there. You see an unwanted, tiny critter crawling on your floor and up your wall, but you get to the situation too late to fix it. Well, a Seattle man couldn’t live with such a fate. He ended up torching his entire house with a lighter and a can of spray paint.
Party Foul
In an effort to randomize a giveaway, an Idaho pilot made it rain Ping-Pong balls on interstate traffic. Each ball had a prize written on it, whether it be candy or $100. The goal was to drop the balls on an awaiting group, but the pilot let go a little early.

Ford’s Horde
Rob Ford just can’t catch a break and now a band of shirtless protesters are following him around with signs and shouts about his behavior. The trend started during a parade where a random horde of joggers, without shirts, happened to be.

Poor Parking
Why take up one parking spot when you could take up four? A recent Facebook campaign, out of Lowestoft, Suffolk has targeted pathetic parkers and put the park jobs up online for all to gawk at. Maybe someone should start one of these in Columbus…
