Minneapolis Arts Center Slammed For Encouraging ‘Family Friendly’ DEMON SUMMONING

“Families are invited to create a vessel to trap the demon”

An arts and culture center in Minneapolis has received backlash after it promoted an event encouraging families to attend a “ceremony to summon and befriend” a demon of their choosing.

Yes, really.

Alpha News reports that the Walker Art Center held a pagan ritual geared toward families last weekend, with a performance called “Lilit the Empathic Demon.”

The event description on the organisations website reads “Demons have a bad reputation, but maybe we’re just not very good at getting to know them.”

The event featured an ‘artist’ called Tamar Ettun who claims to create “demon traps.”

“Families are invited to create a vessel to trap the demon that knows them best — perhaps the ‘demon of overthinking’ — and then participate in a playful ceremony to summon and befriend their demon,” the description further reads.

“After designing your trap, Lilit the Empathic Demon will come from the dark side of the moon to lead you in locating your feelings using ancient Babylonian techniques,” the description further claims, adding “This collective and playful demon summoning session will conclude with a somatic movement meditation, designed to help you befriend your shadows.”

The report notes that the Art Center “received millions of dollars in taxpayer funds through Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, which routinely funds projects with a left-wing agenda.”

File this one next to the After School Satan Clubs that are no doubt doing the same kind of thing all over the country.

Bullets Miraculously Ricochet Off of ‘Hard-Headed’ Man’s Head

A Mexican man can consider himself lucky to be alive after being shot in the head at least two times only to have the bullets ricochet off of his skull.

On August 2nd, the man, referred to only as Francisco by Mexican media, was strolling through the streets of the Gustavo A. Madero neighborhood of Mexico City when he was approached by a man identified as Carlos N. who shot him in the head at close range two times. The reasons for the attack have not yet been revealed, but what most headlines have been focusing on is the miraculous outcome of the gunshots. Instead of growing through Francisco’s head, the point-blank shots ricocheted off of his skull, leaving the victim with minor flesh wounds.

It’s hard to explain exactly how Francisco survived the attack, but according to some sources, it was a miraculous combination of several factors. First of all, it seems that the bullets used by the assailants were really old and the gunpowder unusually damp. This, combined with the fact that the gun was of a really small caliber and had a very short barrel, which affected the velocity and overall piercing power of the bullets. Instead of piercing the man’s skull, they just bounced off of his skull.

Having only suffered minor flesh wounds, Francisco was able to alert some nearby security guards who quickly seized the assailants. For now, the reasons of the attack remain a mystery, but the middle age Mexican man can consider himself extremely lucky.

Florida Cops Searching for 'Mystery Monkey' Spotted Roaming Around City

Authorities in Florida are on the hunt for a mysterious monkey that multiple people have spotted brazenly roaming around a community. The curious case came to light on Wednesday when the Orange City Police Department took to social media to caution residents about the seemingly out-of-place creature that they began receiving calls about last week. Speaking to a local TV station, witness Kim Bialobos recounted how she was flabbergasted when she noticed the animal, which is believed to be a Rhesus Macaques, scurrying around outside the Popeye's fast food restaurant where she works as a shift manager. "I'm like this cannot be possible," she recalled, "I'm telling everybody, 'listen, there's a monkey... a monkey.'"

Understandably astounded by what she was seeing, Bialobos managed to snap a photo of the creature just before it scrambled over a fence and disappeared from sight. Based on her vantage point, she observed that the animal "looked very well groomed; he was very maintained. He looked healthy, he didn't look like a wild monkey." To that end, she also noted that the creature demonstrated a certain amount of savviness as it was aware not to run towards the traffic outside the restaurant. "He's a smart monkey," she marveled, "he knew not to go that way." Beyond Bialobos, at least six other residents within a three mile radius have reported seeing the mysterious animal over the last few days.

For now, the monkey has managed to stay one step ahead of the city's cops as the department indicated that "we would send someone out to that area, no luck, we can't find it, and it just kept going on. Several days throughout the several days." With the creature still on the loose Orange City Police are urging residents to avoid contact with the animal if they encounter it, since "it could be dangerous." As for where the monkey might have come from, that matter has proven to be a mystery as the department say that they have not received any reports of an escaped pet nor any indication that it could have come from a nearby zoo or sanctuary.

Man pulled over for driving with massive bull named Howdy Doody riding shotgun in Nebraska

Now that's some serious bull****, eh? Even better than a trunk monkey.

Man pulled over for driving with massive bull named Howdy Doody riding shotgun in Nebraska​

Holy cow!


A man in Nebraska was pulled over for driving down a highway in a compact car with a massive Watusi bull sitting in the passenger seat.


Officers from the Norfolk Police Division received a call around 10 a.m. on Wednesday reporting a man driving eastbound on highway 275 with a cow riding shotgun.


“They thought that it was going to be a calf, something small or something that would actually fit inside the vehicle,” Police Captain Chad Reiman told News Channel Nebraska Northeast.


Photos show the immense black and white bull — named Howdy Doody — casually riding in the small, modified car with its hulking shoulders, head and monster horns sticking up from where half of the roof and windshield used to be.

The passenger-side door had been replaced with a metal barred guardrail that’s typically found in a cattle enclosure, photos of the car show.


A sign on the railing read “Nebraska’s Big Rodeo Parade: Best Car Entry.”


“As a result, the officers performed a traffic stop and addressed some traffic violations that were occurring with that particular situation,” Reiman said.

The driver of the vehicle received multiple warnings before he was let off by police.
Police identified the driver of the vehicle as Lee Meyer, of Neligh.

“The officer wrote him some warnings,” Reiman told the outlet. “There were some citable issues with that situation. The officer chose to write him a warning and ask him to take the animal back home and leave the city.”

Meyer and Howdy Doody headed back home afterwards, police said.

Just woolgathering.

Recreating movie and TV cars is big $$$$. Then there's the DIY projects. Here's my pick for the top two, the latter actually has a possibility of being done at some point in the future. You can make a really fun ride out of an old boat like that - had a big Plymouth Fury wagon once that was a contemporary. Two tons of green rolling Detroit beauty. I called it Thunderpig.

Bizarre race sees 'T. rexes' compete on horse racing track

More than 200 people took part in the peculiar event while wearing inflatable tyrannosaurus rex costumes. When it comes to novelty racing, it's quite incredible what some people come up with - as evidenced by this year's T-Rex World Championships at the Emerald Downs track in Washington State. Running down a track while encumbered by a large inflatable dinosaur costume is no easy feat, which meant plenty of laughs as the competitors tripped over themselves and rolled around on the ground. Incredibly, the ending was a photo finish when three competitors crossed the line together. The eventual winner was revealed to be Kim, of Kailua, Hawaii.

Flamingos found in Ohio after being blown across US by Hurricane Idalia

Flamingos have been found in America’s Midwest after being blown across the country by a hurricane. The birds, thought to have travelled from as far as Mexico, first started to be spotted in Florida as a result of Hurricane Idalia and have now landed as far away as Ohio.

Experts have said that they have “never seen anything like this”. “We will get a flamingo or two following storms [but] this is really unprecedented,” Jerry Lorenz, of the bird research group Audubon Florida, told US media.

The birds appeared in Florida when Idalia hit the state as a category-three hurricane after crossing the Caribbean last month. The birds were later seen along the storm’s route in Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia, but also in Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Ohio.

British Cops Respond to Report of 'Mass Murder' That Turned Out to be Yoga Class

A yoga class was mistaken for a "ritual mass murder" scene after members of the public saw several people lying on the floor and reported it to police. Five police cars descended on the North Sea Observatory in Chapel St Leonards, Lincolnshire, on Wednesday night.

Yoga teacher Millie Laws said she thought reports of her being a "mass murderer" were a "joke at first". Lincolnshire Police confirmed everyone was safe and well, and the call was made with "good intentions". The 22-year-old teacher said she was teaching seven students at the Seascape Cafe, which is inside the building, when she saw two dog walkers peering closely through the glass window during the Shavasana or relaxation stage of the class.

"They're [students] laying down with blankets over them, their eyes are closed. It's very dark in there. I just had candles and little tea lights lit the whole room, and I was just walking around playing my drum. I had a nice floaty top on with large bell sleeves," she said. "A couple with some dogs just came up to the window and were having a look in, but they walked off really quickly and I didn't think anything of it. I didn't know until after we left that these people phoned in saying that there was a mass murderer; they were wearing a robe and they were walking over all of the people, and it looked like some kind of ritual, and that the people on the floor were actually dead. I guess from the outside view it could look like that, because they're all really still, very nice and relaxed. I'm sure their imagination was running wild with what was going on."

Ms Laws, who had only moved to the area three months ago, said officers swooping on a "small little village in the middle of Lincolnshire is crazy".
"It's a bit surreal and funny. I feel really bad for whoever the person was who [phoned police] that would, of course, have been terrifying. So I do feel for them. But at the same time you've got to see the lighter side of it."

Managers at Seascape Cafe sought to reassure residents and thanked police for the prompt response. They said on Facebook: "If anyone heard the mass of police sirens in Chapel St Leonards at 9.30pm last night then please be reassured. "They were on their way to the Observatory after someone had reported a mass killing in our building, having seen several people laying on the floor... which actually turned out to be the yoga class in meditation. Thank you to Lincolnshire Police for their prompt response. I can't imagine for one moment what would have being going through their minds on the way."

The cafe regularly plays host to yoga classes with the Facebook post adding: "We are not part of any mad cult or crazy clubs. All in all, this situation turned out positive and we are of course grateful." Lincolnshire Police confirmed the call was made at 20:56 BST "with good intentions".

A spokesperson said: "A call was made following concerns for the occupants of the North Sea Observatory, at Chapel St Leonards. Officers attended, we're happy to report everyone was safe and well."

Mysterious yellow line appears on 23 miles of Florida highway

Drivers on a stretch of highway in the Jacksonville, Fla., area reported a mysterious yellow line weaving through lanes, and officials said they are still trying to determine its origins. The yellow line was discovered this week on a 23-mile stretch of southbound Interstate 95, starting at the Acosta Bridge and ending at St. Johns County Road 210 in St. Augustine.

Drivers said the yellow line, which would usually denote a barrier vehicles aren't supposed to cross, weaves in and out of lanes. "You couldn't not notice it," driver Richard Campbell
told First Coast News. Some travelers raised concerns about safety.

"It's a yellow line with a yellow line on the other side," Richard Albandy told WJXT-TV. "Most people like, especially if they are out of town, they're not really too much looking at if that's the line that goes where they're supposed to go. They are trying to get to their destination."


Florida Department of Transportation officials said they believe the line is the result of paint spilling from a truck, but they have yet to identify the source. "I don't believe that anybody has taken responsibility for it yet. But we're going to work with whoever we can make sure that that's identified," FDOT Community Outreach Manager Hampton Ray said.

FDOT officials warned operators of self-driving vehicles to switch the feature off while traveling in the area to avoid their vehicles becoming confused. "We're going to have an operation, where we take a street sweeper, with a wire brush, and we will be going and doing our best to dislodge some of the yellow paint from the roadway," Ray said. "We do not expect this to be the end-all solution."
