In Weird news of the week, there has already been a YouTube celebrity taking on a 24-hour "Bird Box Challenge," driving and walking into the street blindfolded.

As if that wasn't enough, there is now a man, who was caught on security camera while licking a California family's doorbell for three hours. Next in line is a monster "fatberg" blocking the UK's sewers, a dog that only responds to Harry Potter magic spells, a moose who strolled into a hospital and munched the pot plants and a monster tuna sold for an unreal amount of money.

Intruder licks family's doorbell for three hours

A Salinas, California, family had just installed a new security system and the first incident caught was a man licking their doorbell for at least three hours on Monday night. The family was away at the time, but the man also roamed their yard, picked up an extension cord and dropped it and urinated on their lawn. Sylvia Dungan said she was shocked when watching the video, saying it was just “weird.” Roberto Daniel Arroyo, 33, is likely to face misdemeanour charges.

Monster 'Fatberg' found in UK sewer

This isn’t the first time a monster “fatberg” has been found in the UK’s sewers. This whopping “fatberg” is 210 foot in length (64 metres) and was found in Sidmouth. It is made up of grease and used baby wipes that people have wrongly flushed down the loo. Removing this nasty mess will reportedly be “exceptionally challenging.” The last major “fatberg” seen in 2017 was in London and was 820 foot long (250 metres) and weighed 143 ton. It took months for workers to clean it all out.
