Wall Street Journal Loosens Collar, Covers Paranormal

0924keebler.jpg

Thought the Wall Street Journal was square, unhip and afraid to take on any stories that reek of high weirdness? Uhm… no.

Maybe it’s a creeping low-grade Rupertification over at the WSJ, but they recently did a piece on a Filipino judge who believes in elves:

As a trial-court judge, Florentino V. Floro Jr. acknowledged that he regularly sought the counsel of three elves only he could see. The Supreme Court deemed him unfit to serve and fired him last year. [...] Helping him, he says, are his three invisible companions. “Angel” is the neutral force, he says. “Armand” is a benign influence. “Luis,” whom Mr. Floro describes as the “king of kings,” is an avenger.

It’s kind of great that with the Weekly World News gone, we can depend on the Wall Street Journal for our weird fix. Viva!
