I figure we have good and bad news all the time on here, so why not the odd stuff? Like possible aliens landing in Ukraine! (Ok, very unlikely). It can be anything, provided you give a heads-up for the squeamish.
Hmm… Almost 24 hours and no new posts. Could it be that everything in the world has become so weird that nothing is any more?
Well, if Dopers aren’t going to step up, we can always fall back on the original source:
The Russians have taken to bombing themselves.
I assume the Ukrainians went out to lunch, & the russkie hoods kindly shot themselves, out of consideration.

If they hadn’t openly admitted it I’d have thought it was some kind of false flag operation to allow Putin to make a fresh push. “See? They have planes and are bombing us! Now who’s the bad guy?”
2000 cans of Miller High Life beer have been destroyed by Belgian customs because Miller is advertised as the “champagne of beers”. EU protection laws are so strict that even a drink that isn’t champagne and wasn’t produced in the actual region of the Champagne, France, cannot use the word “champagne” in its advertising.
ETA: interestingly, someone from Germany ordered the Miller beer. That’s weird, because there’s really no lack of good beer here (in Belgium where the deed was done, too, of course), and though I can’t remember having drunken any, I’ve always had the impression that the mass produced beer from big American breweries was equivalent to donkey piss.
Heineken dark is much better, but American lager is okay.
So, was the beer paid for?
Worse than the Miller cans having “Champagne” on them was the fact that they have a more egregious falsehood on the label: “Beer”.
There’s now a slur exclusive for video gamers and it WILL get you stabbed if you say it
That actually happened to Budweiser–Busch wanted to make a brewery in Bavaria, but they turned him down, saying it wasn’t “real” beer
