welcome to the fourth edition of the monday wtf, where we "celebrate" the inane, stupid, crazy, distasteful, and just plain weird crap that has happened in the past week. this doesn't necessarily limit itself to the internet, or just whatthefuck.com, but sometimes those are the easy pickings. if you'd like to submit something that you feel should be highlighted, information on how to do so is at the bottom of this column, and every column hereafter.

thank you again to the same wtf'er, who made more submissions. you help keep me sane. to all the others, fuck you in the face. gently.

a boy was taken to a doctor in brazil, as he was complaining of some random pain. turns out, he had 42 fucking needles stuck into his skin. even better, the doctors can't take some of them out as they're too close to his fucking heart. the story has been rapidly changing, but apparently, the father had admitted to doing it, maybe with the help of some other woman, and no official reason has been released... well, except that black magic may be involved. awesome.

generally, a situation where monkeys attack a human is newsworthy. not front page news, but newsworthy. it becomes a wtf when you find out the monkeys know tae kwon do. a man in china trained these monkeys to do shows to make some money, and during one of the shows, he slipped. taking advantage of the situation, one of the monkeys delivered a swift kick to his head to keep him down, and the other monkeys joined in on the fight. alas, no one, especially the trainer, died.

new zealand is an enchanting place, known for the amazing wildlife, landscapes, beaches, and cute accents. it's beautiful, unless you were driving on a 15km section of highway 2 a few weeks ago, where a load of bloody animal parts was spread after a tailgate opened up on a truck delivering that crap. the report states that it was 30cm (nearly a foot) deep in some places, and yes, cars ended up in that mess. the best quote? "Police are warning road users to wash their vehicle thoroughly to avoid infection." Shudder.

this economy must really be hurting people. a colorado woman used her boyfriend's ski pass, and claimed to be in the process of a sex change when asked why her ski pass showed a picture of a man. i can't tell, however, if the bigger wtf is her excuse, or the fact that she was arrested and charged with theft of greater than $500.

had enough of stories about horse fucking? i thought not. not content with giving it a go just once, a new york state man visited an historic race track to have sex with one or more horses at least twelve times. luckily, no one had to endure catching him in the act of these adventures, but they apparently have enough evidence to be confident.

speaking of strange, have you seen the new alice in wonderland trailer. whaaaaaaaaat. oh, you want something really weird for the column-ending video? fine. this is what you eat for christmas in japan.
