This week saw a mix of unexpected developments, from a musician's court victory to a country's alleged war preparations.

Afroman, the rapper behind the hit song "Because I Got High," was found not liable in a defamation case brought by Ohio cops who raided his home. The jury's decision was a win for the artist, who had used footage of the raid in a satirical music video.

Meanwhile, Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion.
