"hes a witch, burn him!"Funny old place Romania, it has a few 'unusual' customs as well.
One of the more 'popular' rural customs is burning to ashes the heart of a recently dead loved one, and then drinking the organ at a crossroad, after the organ has been mixed with vodka plus some other ingredients of course (down in one?), to ensure the beloved deceased doesn't raise from the grave undead, as a vampire! ( a family made international news for doing just that less than a year ago), and there is also the 'exotic' beliefs in 'werewolves'. which although not believed as widely as that of the vampire, is still there!
But enough of the culture lessons, because i bring you the news that the fighter for "truth, justice, and the American way" (or in this case the 'Romanian' way), SUPERMAN himself! has been seen in the country. and he has been spotted flying about in the Romanian skies, supposedly.
I'm not making this up, the 'man of steel' complete in his familiar blue and red costume, was seen flying above a village by "reliable citizens" said a Romanian police officer MR Ion Anuta.
Witness Constantin Toader said that he witnessed SUPERMAN flying over their houses, "he looked like SUPERMAN and was flying slowly (show-off) at about 100 yards from the ground in a standing position". (story first reported in the Sunday mail.)
Now its no wonder that the local field toiling peasants hang on to such old traditions and protective 'cleansing fire' rituals when they are surrounded by so many evil workings of supernatural origin, and who can blame them when they become crazed and all scream down to the local castle (inhabited by some, strange 'bohemian foreigner', or a 'Jew', either one will do), mob handed and drunk with the lust for blood and revenge, brandishing burning torches in hand ready to burn down the castle's occupants as soon as some kind of occult malady like flu hits the local area?
Strangely the name of the village was omitted from the story, i wonder why? and, why wasn't SUPERMAN helping to put out the Californian fires when America needed him most?

ROMANIA UPDATE: The authorities have banned all horse drawn carts from the 'main' roads because speeding car drivers keep crashing into them.
sensible option, dont make the drivers slow down, just remove any objects that may get in their way, brilliant!
And if the speeders start hitting trees i suppose they will all be cut down?
