It's the Christmas party season and, in time-honoured fashion, we should probably don a pair of antlers, but instead we pay homage to men dressed as tigers and pandas. Crazy Talk is no respector of the conventional (the clue is in the name) so, for your reading pleasure, we present this week's weirdest stories.
Earn your stripes
For added authenticity, Uke Bosse dressed up as a tiger as he tried out Kinectimals for the latest episode of PLAY! A new video game for the Xbox that uses Kinect technology, it is supposed to create a more interactive gaming experience. Uke wasn't particularly impressed with the game's realism so it's just as well he had the suit.
Pandering to their audience
Speaking of animal interaction (no, not that kind), Chinese conservationists also got dressed up in a bid to introduce panda cubs into their normal habitat. If a man in a bear suit can ever be considered normal. No, we suspect that these panda cubs have in fact been scarred for life. Click here to read the rationale
Wind farm
By way of a disclaimer, we should say that no animals were harmed in the making of this video but it is funny...
Caught on camera
A British driver who thought that he had escaped the clutches of speedgun trigger-happy police in the UK when he emigrated to New Zealand was caught speeding by the same policeman who had pulled him over in London two years earlier. Constable Andy Flitton was recognised by the driver as the man who had booked him two years previously on the A5 flyover on Edgware Road. "I was writing his ticket when he came over to me and said, 'did you used to work in London?' And when I said yes, he asked if I used to operate the laser gun on the A5 in North London," said Flitton. "He said, 'I thought it was you – I've only been given two speeding tickets in my life and you've given me both of them.'"
Right side of the tracks
As well as issuing speeding tickets, policemen also save lives. Witness this off-duty law enforcer achieving the aforementioned after an inebriated man falls onto the tracks at a Madrid metro station...
Long Way Down
Those long Russian winters can do strange things to a man... you'd think the Russians themselves would be used to them though.
For another Russian with a head for heights, check out Valery Rozov's Red Bull Antartica expedition.
