So, are you CRAZY or are you NORMAL? Do you crazy things? These animals are definitely pretty crazy but read on to hear about some crazy things people do...

Some crazy things people do:

  • A man in London set his home on fire by microwaving his underwear.

  • In India a village BANNED marriages based on love.

  • A Stockholm man cut the lips off his wife because he did not want her to kiss anyone else.

  • An Italian court has RULED it is a crime to tell a man he has no balls.

  • In India, 2,000 farmers in Assam grow super hot chillies in response to the increased military demand for chilli grenades!


What about doing crazy things for love? Have you ever done something crazy in the name of love?...
