Well, what a week! You’d think that amidst the political circus, the only wacky stories out there would involve a podium and a scandal, but lo and behold, we’ve got some non-political oddities, too. One story that caught my attention? Well, let’s just say it involves a funeral, a wake, and… wait for it… a “very” alive woman.

Yes, over in Ecuador, a 76-year-old woman was declared dead by the doctors, only to wake up at her own wake a few hours later. Imagine the shock on everyone’s face when, instead of condolences and prayers, grandma gave them a “just kidding!” moment. Talk about *timing*. I’m not saying I’d ghost my own funeral, but wow—she took it to a whole new level.

Of course, I couldn’t help but think of how this surreal tale outshines all the dramatic twists in the political world. We’ve got everything from courtroom chaos to Ashley Madison, to pets, and to who wore it better but nothing compares to waking up at your own funeral.

This isn’t just some Twilight Zone special—this is real life reminding us that no matter how much we plan, expect the unexpected. It’s like life is saying, “You think you’ve seen it all? Hold my drink.”

While this week had enough political drama for a lifetime, it’s refreshing (and terrifying) to know that the world still has a bit of spontaneous, unscripted weirdness outside of the headlines. And honestly? I’ll take this Ecuadorian near-zombie plot over another political mishap any day.

Here’s to the truly unexpected! Just another reminder: always triple-check before you send out those eulogies.
