Your Strange News Item for Monday

Okay, it’s really no laughing matter, but it cracked me up anyway.

A Roman Catholic priest in Brazil is missing. 

What happened to him?  Did he fall victim to the high crime rate in Sao Paulo?  Abduction?  Foul play?  A disgruntled parishioner?  A serial killer with a vendetta for men of the cloth?   

No.  Nothing so mundane. 

Father Antonio de Carli floated off into the sky, carried aloft by hundreds of helium party balloons.

(I have once again dissolved into paroxysms of laugher after typing that line.)

Sheeesh.  I hope they find him…
