The Lighter Side
To the Lighter Side we go with more stories to take the seriousness out of the week.
Firstly we go to Bangladesh, where more than 250 people have attended a wedding ceremony between two frogs. The ritual is designed to bring rain to a village north of Dhaka.
Villagers organised the wedding ceremony because the region was suffering a water shortage as it waited for monsoon rains to arrive, according to school teacher Noor Mohammad Kalon, who was a guest on behalf of the “groom.”
Kalon reported to AP that the locals believed the ceremony had an effect as it rained the next day.
Moving on to Michigan and a baseball park has created a hamburger that contains a whopping 4,800 calories.
The West Michigan Whitecaps are offering fans a behemoth dubbed the Fifth Third Burger, named after the team’s ballpark and the meal’s five beef patties, which each weigh one third of a pound (136 grams).
“Besides being unique and large and bizarre, it tastes good,” Whitecaps president Scott Lane told the Grand Rapids News. “I’m sure there are going to be crazies that come down and try to eat the entire thing.”
The Whitecaps have stated that should anyone complete the challenge they will be rewarded with a free t-shirt.
