Utah Odd Stuff

Gravity Hill - Salt Lake City

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Behind the state capitol there is a street that is said to have super natural attributes. This hot spot for the weird and obscure is frequented by the eclectic more than any other spot in Utah. It is said, that by placing your car in neutral at this location - that it will roll uphill. Skeptics have ruled this off as illusion. What we have recently uncovered however, is that beneath this street is a grave. Our records indicated that this grave was the equivalent of the Salem Which Trials. There was a band of odd people that came west with the Mormons - to flee persecution. This group try to re-establish themselves in Salt Lake. However - the settlers would not stand for this heresy, and committed each of them into a mass grave. The established a road over this grave, as if, to metaphorically (or literally) show other heretics that they were figuratively and litterly beneath the settlers. Coincidence that this street has abnormal powers? I think not.

The Utah Bear Lake Monster

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Ok, even I find this one tough to swallow. But I have heard from three (3) credible sources that there is infact and unidentified species living in the Bear Lake that borders on Utah and Idaho. At first I shrugged this one off, but then thinking that most of Utah was covered by water, and our high population of dinosaur remnants, the truth started to take hold.

According to the many who have spied the serpent, it has a thin head, a large mouth, and small legs that it utilizes to move swiftly through the water. The slithering snake like-creature has also been described as spouting water upwards from its mouth and moving so fast through the lake, that it leaves a wake behind, much like a boat.

Utah #1 For Road Rage Murders

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

I know it may sound odd - but in fact - Utah leads the nation in the number of Road Rage Deaths. Take for example this poor grandma - on her way from her knitting class to her local neighborhood grocery - she got cut off, and ergo has the responsibility to take the law into her own hands.

Calling All Extra-Terrestrial Pt. 1

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Robert Smithson is no ordinary man. No, in fact - he is definitely out there. And that’s a good thing. He of course is the artist responsible for the Spiral Jetty in the Great Salt Lake. The Jetty was created many years ago when the Salt Lake was very low - and was later covered up. It became visible again in 1999. Nuts…err… outer-space enthusiasts took this as a sign that this piece of art actually doubled as a communication piece with the distant solar systems, and its timing of re-emerging signified that in fact Utah would be the place of the coming of extra-terrestrial forms to Earth. Obviously this didn’t happen. But to commemorate this event - each year - thousands of Utahn’s flock to the Jetty on New Years Eve to send signals to the outer limits of space, signifying, “It’s ok to be late space people.”

Utah Beehive Hair Style

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Utah, famous for many things, is perhaps sort-of famous for this Hair Style. This style was so popular in fact, that in 1955, by direction of the Governor, The Utah Beehive became the official state Hair Style of Utah. See… I told you we’re not weird!

Hobbitville, Utah

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Near Westminster College, there is a small gated community. Inside these gates you will find one of Utah’s richest secrets - A series of small houses, built in scale, to accommodate their special tenants. What lies inside this community? A safe place for those who are quite a a bit smaller than the rest of humanity. People will try to tell you that this community is actually a wildlife refuge. Rest assured - these houses were in fact built for midgets more than 80 years ago. Midgets were shunned in Utah’s history, and a rich man, who goes by the name of Adams - gave birth to set of midget twins. Knowing that they would be ridiculed in the harsh Utah environment of old, he built this secret community - which has thrived since its inception. It is now owned by Ruth Price. !!!CAUTION!!! - Do not attempt to enter this community. There have been reports of people being shot at as they attempted to scale the (tiny) wall that protects this development.
