OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

On this day in 1692 five women were executed for witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts. The executions were part of the Salem witch trials and given that part of the evidence against the witches was that they had winced when they saw a dog eating a cake that was made of urine and rye wheat (honestly, I kid you not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_Witch_Trials#The_witch_cake ) it is a safe bet that there may have been a miscarriage of justice somewhere along the line.
And now, the news:

Man grows freaky conjoined watermelon
Indiana: Residents believe exotic cat roaming neighbourhood
Glimpses of Macarthur's mystery creature

Speaking of witchcraft, cakes and of MacArthur, do want to hear Dumbledore from Harry Potter singing about soggy cake? Of course you do…
