While Miley Cyrus and Rob Ford were making us scratch our heads in 2013, there were plenty of other weird moments that might have been less noticed.
Some of these moments included finger wrestling in Feldkirchen-Westerham, Germany (while drinking beer, of course) and the annual 'Tomatina' festival in Bunol, Spain where participants hurl squashed tomatoes at each other. Maybe you didn't realize that T-Rex roamed around Paris, or missed the melon skiing in Australia.
We're already looking forward to what craziness is to come next year. But for now, here are 32 of the weirdest moments of 2013.
