Possible thermal images of Australia's Bigfoot, a 9/11-themed bar, and a man in Spain who died inside a dinosaur statue were among the strange and unusual stories to cross our desk this past week.
Easily the weirdest story of the week came by way of Texas, where a bar owner found himself at the center of controversy after it was discovered that he had rebranded his establishment with a 9/11 theme. Brent Johnson had actually enacted the strange makeover back in 2013 in what he says is an effort to ensure that people never forget that fateful day. The curious concept, which includes pictures of the burning Twin Towers displayed on the restaurant's walls, largely went unnoticed until a local resident posted pictures of 'Bar9Eleven' to Twitter, setting off a firestorm of criticism from astounded social media users who argued that, regardless of his intent, the idea is in incredibly bad taste.
