It's not uncommon to stumble across articles ranging from lovable and quirky to downright bizarre during the week. TGIFF - Thank Geebus, It's Freakin' Friday - is an amalgamation of short blurbs dedicated to the oddities I stumbled across during the week.

It's a short TGIFF this week, kiddos. I didn't have much time to stumble across weird stories.
Beer Me
Scientists at the University of Wisconsin, of course it was in Madison, have released a study which argues that Guiness is just as good as aspirin at fighting heart clots. Back in the day post-op patients were given the "beer you eat with a fork" to replenish their iron! Can you imagine that now?
Acupunture to a Whole New Level
A women in China went to the doctor because of blood in her urine and the doctors discovered 26 sewing needles imbedded in various regions and organs of the 31 year old woman's body. Doctor's believe the needles were stuck into her when she was little because her grandpartents were angry that she was a girl and not a boy. Interesting method of murder, the pin cushion torture technique.

Only in Wisconsin. What next? Cheese curds cure cancer?
How do you not notice the sewing needles before now? I'm curious is all. When I get a splinter in my finger, I notice. And cry. A lot. I'm a crier. Needles?!
