Deputies Respond to Slippery Fish Spill on Oregon Road — Dozens of Fish Stretch to the Intersection

Weirdness Level6/10

🌀 Very Strange

“The road known as Seven Devils in Bandon, Oregon lived up to its name last week when dozens of fish inexplicably spilled across the asphalt, creating a slick, scaly traffic hazard that stretched all the way to an intersection. A Coos County sheriff's deputy was dispatched to deal with it — and did his best, which is all any of us can do when confronted with a road full of fish.”

Why It's Weird

These are the stories that make you question whether reality has become deliberately surreal. While the weirdness score is more modest, the story still offers a fascinating glimpse into life's unexpected moments.

March 5 (UPI) -- Authorities in an Oregon county warned of a slippery traffic hazard in a town where dozens of fish somehow spilled out into a roadway.

The Coos County Sheriff's Office said on social media that Deputy S. Converse responded Wednesday to a report of a fish spill on Seven Devils, near Walker Lane in Bandon.

"Converse cleared the road to the best of his ability, however, it remains extremely slick in that area," the post said.

The sheriff's office shared a photo showing the line of fish stretching down the road to an intersection.

Officials asked drivers to use caution in the area and reminded residents to make sure all loads are properly secured for transport.

How does this make you feel?

Malta Will Pay Young Drivers $29,000 to Surrender Their License for Five Years

Malta has launched a scheme offering young drivers €25,000 to surrender their driving licenses for five years — essentially paying people to stop wanting a car. The catch: once surrendered, the license is permanently suspended, and you'll need 15 hours of lessons to ever legally drive again. Initial interest has been described as "very high," which says something about either Malta's traffic or the state of millennial finances.
