7. Foreclosed. It's been under water for centuries.
Sad that.

The good news: No tractors or sheep were lost during orrex's unfortunate meeting with Earth's gravitational force.

14. UPDATE: Orrex's Cat Claims to have Alibi
In an effort to get ahead of the damaging photos on TMZ, Orrex's cat claims to have been in the family home, hacking up hairballs at the time of the incident. He says the TMZ photos showing him running between Orrex's legs are photoshopped by the infamous Dr Strange.

We are still following this breaking story.
