Move over Avengers, the Smurfs just assembled. In the most chaotic-good event of the year, over 3076 people in Landerneau, France, dressed head to toe in blue to break the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of Smurfs. This wasn’t your average costume party.

We’re talking strict rules: no unpainted skin, white pants only, and absolutely no off-brand blue vibes. Germany’s 2019 record of 2762 was smurfed right out of the water. Organisers said the event was about fun and unity, and honestly, who wouldn’t want to join a blue mob for the history books? Gen Z takeaway: When life gets dull, just Smurf it.

While trekking through the Krkonoše Mountains in Czech Republic, two hikers stumbled upon the ultimate loot drop: an aluminium box wedged packed with 15 pounds of treasure: Ten gold bracelets, 16 cigar cases, a powder compact, a comb, a chain with a key, and 598 gold coins. The coins alone weigh over 8 pounds and are worth around Rs 3 crore. One coin is dated back to 1921, but nobody found any local currency among these coins. Theories point to wealthy families or hidden historical drama.

Meet Anuradha Paswan, the “Looteri Dulhan” who said shaadi mubarak and loot mubarak in the same breath. Dressed in red, she didn’t just steal hearts — she stole everything else too. Grooms got sindoor, she got their savings. Love was blind, but Anuradha had 20/20 vision for wallets.
