Bitch's Brew

A California chef admitted to police that he boiled his wife's corpse in a pot for four days straight then disposed of the remains in a grease pit outside his restaurant. The only thing left was the skull which he claims to have hidden in his mother's attic, though police searched the area and found nothing.

David Viens says he and his wife were doing cocaine all night long and she became manic, so he duct taped her mouth and hands to keep her from leaving the home and went back to bed. When he woke up the next morning, she was "hard." He panicked and disposed of her body.

Viens was a suspect in the woman's disappearance but police has no evidence with which to charge him. But the chef then leapt off an 80-foot cliff and survived the fall. He gave his strange confession while under the influence of pain killers but it was confirmed by his daughter and girlfriend.

Dog Stands Guard Over Owner's Grave

I have a love/hate relationship with stories like this because they are just heartbreaking to me:

A dog in central Argentina named Capitan has stood guard over his master's grave since 2006, when the man died. Miguel Guzman bought the dog for his son in 2005, then passed away the following year. The family thought the dog had been run over or had run away, so they were floored when they found Capitan at Guzman's graveside the following Sunday.

They had never taken Capitan to visit the grave or to the graveyard, so no one knows how he found the grave. The cemetery director says the dog showed up one day and began running around the graveyard until it found Guzman's grave. They have been feeding and caring for the dog since then.

The Weirding is Down

The Weirding is down right now so you probably can't even see this and won't until it gets back up and going but I thought I should address it even if you don't see it until later. What happened is that my registrar was recently hacked and the hosting company is moving a bunch of stuff to some kind of new technology or something like that and I missed the e-mails telling me I needed to renew. I should have been more on top of things but it's been difficult lately.

Anyway, it was mostly my fault and everything should be fine in a few days. He said hopefully...

TN Men Post Pictures of Dead Police Officers on Property

Two brothers from Kingston, TN, have posted graphic images of slain police officers on a homemade billboard in front of their property as a warning to others. The officers in the photographs were shot and killed by the brothers in 2006. They were allegedly there to serve a warrant, but the brothers claim the cops were corrupt and tried to kill them. They were never convicted.

While authorities expressed dismay at the posting, they admitted that the brothers have not violated any laws. The pictures were used in the trial against the two.

Woman Attacked by Rabid Beaver

An 83-year-old woman was attacked by a rabid beaver in Fairfax County, Washington for nearly 20 minutes last week. The beaver first bit the woman's leg as she was leaving the waters of Lake Barcroft after a swim. A nearby co-worker rushed to her aid.

Lillian Peterson says she looked for a stick to gouge out the beaver's eyes while her co-worker angled his boat to get close to her. Eventually the beaver turned its attentions to the boat, forcing the man to beat it with an oar. The oar was broken in the process. The beaver appeared stunned but soon resumed attacking the pair. The man beat it with the paddle again and this time it appeared to be dead.

That is until paramedics arrived. That's when the animal sprang to life and began attacking yet again! One of the responding officers finally captured the beaver in a net and it was euthanized once animal control officers arrived on the scene.

Lillian Peterson is now undergoing treatment for rabies. It was the first such attack in the area in 12 years.
