Tarvuism
You may not have heard of Tarvuism before, but it claims to be one of the oldest and largest religions in the world. Tarvuists worship Tarvu, who came to Earth over 3,000 years ago as a tiny baby boy. After landing in the oceans, and swimming with Oobu the holy octopus, Tarvu came ashore and lived amongst men and women so that he could teach them "to live".
It's easy to become a Tarvuist. All you have to do is say Tarvu's prayer:
Tarvu tarvooti,
Oboonoo cTooti,
Mimmin O'tibbi noonah,
Mdfitty fitty noonah,
Arvu immentiBarvu,
Tarvu.

Candy Canary
Evangelical female body-builders. I don't believe my brain has ever had cause to assemble that phrase before. But then I learned of Candy Canary.

The Elves of Iceland
Maybe the Icelandic banking meltdown can be remedied with pots of elvish gold.

Shamans in Peru
Time to look at some curanderos. The best part comes after the three-minute mark.
