While doomsday evangelist Harold Camping predicted the world would end May 21, we at HuffPost Weird News knew the truth — our strange world was only becoming more bizarre this year.

Over the year, we were introduced to a man with a 100-pound scrotum, a woman who crawled inside a dead horse, another woman who taught new mothers how to turn their afterbirth into vitamin-packed nutritional supplements, and a diaper-wearing, pacifier-sucking man who calls himself an “adult baby.”

Some of us found God in a Walmart receipt, others beautified themselves with injections of tire sealant and cement.

UFOs were spotted on an NFL broadcast, stoned wallabies were almost blamed for crop circles, and a prominent investigative journalist blamed the legendary Roswell space crash coverup of 1947 on a Nazi-Soviet conspiracy that involved notorious Auschwitz madman Josef Mengele and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
