Here is a roundup of some of our favorite strange Internet stories that have surfaced this past week.
Selfish Superhero
A man, posing as Spiderman in Times Square, has been charged with harassment after confronting two women who wouldn’t tip him for posing in a picture. After he complained, the two women allegedly hit him with snowballs and he took a swing at one – not very Spidey-like.

Grizzly Truth About School Lunches
The fear of a bully stealing your lunch money? A decent worry. The fear of a bully black bear cub stealing your lunch out of your lunch box? A bit more rational. This past week, a few unlucky Alaskan students had the displeasure of having their lunches stolen by bears.
Vestment Testament
They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery – maybe that’s why vandals stole nothing but priestly attire from a Massachusetts priest. Three 22-year old men were eventually arrested for the crime after being found inside an abandoned building, wearing the vestments.

From Gridiron to Iron Bars
Imagine going long for a pass only to catch a football full of heroin and cell phones. Well, a Michigan man is being charged with felonious furnishing contraband and cell phones to prisoners when he cut open a football, stuffed it with drugs and phones and attempted to heave it over the prison’s wall.
