Global News 2013: Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren hang together with the kids

Just when you thought the biggest shocker of the week for Tiger Woods would be getting bounced in the first round of the Accenture Match Play, these photos appear of him hanging with his ex-wife Elin Nordegren.

TMZ landed multiple pictures of Tiger hanging with Elin at what appears to be a youth sporting event in Jupiter, Florida on Sunday. As you all know, Tiger and Elin had a rather messy separation at the end of 2009 following news that Woods had multiple relationships outside his arrangement with the former Swedish model.

The two showed up at different times, but according to the TMZ report, left together after people started to recognize who they were.

This is obviously going to drum up rumors for just about everyone, but the bottom line is when you have two kids together there are going to be times when you have to go do things as a family. Woods and Nordegren haven't been photographed together in over three years, and while I'm sure people will blow this out of proportion, it looks like simply a family outing for all involved.

Global 2010: Top 5 bizarre news events of 2010

Fans celebrating the upcoming 2010 FIFA World ...Image via Wikipedia
Each year sees its share of bizarre stories, but it seemed like 2010 was overflowing with "you've got to be kidding me!" moments. Perhaps the proliferation of social media has made the quirky behavior of a few more accessible to the masses in warp speed -- but whatever the reason for the uptick in news of the weird, we're grateful for the fodder. Here are The Lookout's five oddest news events of 2010.

1. Paul the Octopus: The World Cup commands far and away the largest global following of any major sporting event. But no one could have predicted that an undersea creature would be among the most canny prognosticators of World Cup outcomes. Then again, perhaps it stands to reason that a sport so focused on leg agility should earn the close attention of an eight-legged animal.

2. The Chilean miners: It's unfortunately a common occurrence for miners to get trapped underground--but it's unheard of for their captivity to result in so many happy endings. All of the 33 miners trapped in a mine in Chile for 2 months not only survived, but became regular fixtures on news programs and even  morphed into international celebrities.

3. Volcanic ash: Who would have thought that an ash cloud from an Icelandic volcano could cause the biggest slowdown in the airline industry since the terror attacks on 9/11? But hey, it actually happened.

4. The midterm elections: Perhaps it had something to do with the sluggish economy and the generally dour national mood, but this year's elections seem to have inspired more wacky, gaffe-prone candidates to come out of the woodwork than any time in recent memory.

5. Steven Slater: When word began to spread on a Monday afternoon last April that a JetBlue flight attendant had -- in a fit of rage after an altercation with a passenger -- exited the plane via an emergency chute, the nation seemed instantly captivated.
