Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Three years ago someone stole a 10-metre (33-foot), 10-tonne (11-ton) statue of a mango from Bowen, Queensland: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-02-...issing/5279796
Weirder than that, someone made a 10-metre statue of a mango.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
I so want to include a giant fibre glass mango in my near future dystopic campaign. A random meth lab is just window dressing. Might have it on fire, for ***** and giggles.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Yeah, that's where I heard it. WTFIWWY is usually reliable.

http://www.epicinter.net/makeshift-m...ollowing-theft I'd say it's a case of a fake news article, a few more-reputable sites falling for it, etc. The Nando's aspect is pretty clear-cut (you can see the video they made about it in the article I linked), and is even referenced in the "meth mango" stories. The mango "went missing" Feb 17, and was found by Feb 24, pretty much in the center's backyard. For the story to be true, this means that in the mere week between it being moved and being officially found, some crazed methheads must have found the mango, discovered the access hatch, decided this giant mango that's been reported as missing on the news and is literally right beside the place it's missing from is an excellent place to cook some meth, and set up their lab. Riiiiight. On the bright side, searching for info found a related bit of Real Life Weirdness: police in Nogales arrested a man trying to smuggle nearly $1M worth of methamphetamine in a truck hauling mangoes. Mangoes are apparently a popular way to try and smuggle drugs in that area, as in 2015 port officers caught a man trying to smuggle, again, nearly $1M worth of drugs - marijuana this time - in a shipment of mangoes. Another good reason to always wash fruit before you eat it.
