Looking for something to do this summer? Tired of all the same old rehashed celebrations you do every year? Then you won't want to miss this great new Thrillist article with some of the strangest festivals you've ever heard of. From the Testicle Festival to the National Hobo Convention, there's a whole lot to do in these great United States for anyone open to something a little bit different. And who knows, you might meet someone cool, like my mom who attends the yearly Mooning of the Amtrack in Laguna Niguel, CA.

A seagull in Wales was checking out the pickings at a food manufacturing plant in Wales and managed to fall into a vat of discarded chicken tikka masala. Employees at the plant pulled him out and a volunteer took the bird to Vale Wildlife Hospital in Gloucestershire for a clean up. They were able to turn the gull from orange to white, but the smell remained.   

Lucy Kells, veterinary nurse at the hospital, said: “He really surprised everyone here – we had never seen anything like it before. He had fallen into a waste vat of curry that was outside, it was chicken tikka masala. The thing that shocked us the most was the smell. He smelled amazing, he really smelled good.

“He cleaned up surprisingly well at the hospital, we used washing-up liquid a few times.”

The seagull will be sent to a wildlife rehabilitation center when he is deemed healthy. -via Uproxx

Today’s England-Russia Euro 2016 match should be a firecracker, if for no other reason than supporters of both teams have been brawling for days—forcing cops to break out the water cannons.

We all know that tacos are delicious. Some people love tacos so much they'll commit crimes to get them, but up until now no one knew that tacos can actually save lives. In Mexico City though, police actually saved a suicidal man's life by promising to buy him tacos. Supposedly the man was lonely, drunk and depressed, but it sounds to me like he was pretty rational if he was able to recognize that tacos are worth living for.

When you have a 16-year-old daughter, you are understandably vigilant. Ashley Banks almost got into big trouble when her mother found a suspicious batch of brightly-colored pills in her nightstand. Mom was pretty upset, as a series of text messages show.

Whew, what a relief! The worst Mom can say now is that Ashley's tastes are a little juvenile. But really, magic grow capsules that sprout into dinosaurs are pretty cool no matter how old you are. -via Uproxx

Savannah Guthrie announced that she’s gonna take a hard pass on attending the Olympics in Brazil, but pregnant Today anchors aren’t the only ones giving their presence in Rio some forethought: British long jumper Greg Ruthorford has decided that he’ll go, alright, but not before he freezes a sample of his sperm.

Extreme game shows are so popular that show creators keep pushing their shows, and the contestants foolhardy enough to participate, as far as they can go without killing them.

Contestants died after appearing on the shows Wipeout and Survivor, due to health reasons so not totally the show's fault, and a guy almost drowned on the show Dog Eat Dog.

But no game show has tried to kill its contestants quite like Fox's The Chamber, where people were strapped into a torture chamber and forced to endure killer conditions for $100k.

(YouTube Link)

Only 3 episodes of The Chamber were aired back in 2002 (even though six episodes were shot), and only one conestant ever made it through all seven rounds of torture.

With this laundry list of torturous conditions it's no wonder:

In the Hot Chamber, the contestant faced the following:

• Heat beginning at 110°F (43°C) and increasing to 170°F (66°C).
• Real flames surrounding the contestant, getting bigger as the game progressed.
• Muscle contractors strapped to the limbs.
• Simulated earthquake tremors (Richter scale 5.0 to begin, going up to 9.0).
• The chair would begin to rotate back and forth (level two), then up and down, through 270 degrees, and finally it would spin in complete circles.
• On the last show, foul odors were piped into the Chamber after the fourth round.
• Wind gusts of 40 miles per hour (64.3 k/h) joined in at level two.
• Falling oxygen levels throughout the game (90 percent down to 70 percent).
• Air cannons blasting at up to 140 miles per hour.

If the Cold Chamber was chosen, this is what the contestant got:

• Temperatures beginning at 30°F (-1 °C) and decreasing to -20°F (-29°C).Muscle contractors and simulated earthquake tremors (as in the Hot Chamber).
• Water jets squirting the contestants, causing ice to form on their bodies.
• Ice blasted at the contestant.
• Wind gusts of 40 miles per hour (64.3 k/h) from level three onwards.
• Falling oxygen levels (95 percent down to 70 percent).
• Air cannons blasting at up to 140 mph (as in the Hot Chamber).
