Weird But True

Weird but true

Three homeless Kentucky men may have come up with a way to save the US Postal Service.

The three “visionaries” were arrested at 2 a.m. for allegedly hanging out in a 24-hour Louisville post office and guzzling suds.

The trio shouldn’t be dismissed so quickly. Installing beer taps might be a way to make a dent in the $16 billion deficit the Postal Service rang up last year.

Say goodbye to chafing, tight-jeans wearers.

Wrangler has come up with a new line of hip-huggers infused with moisturizer.

The threads of these Denim Spa jeans contain aloe vera and olive extract and are meant to make legs silky smooth and prevent cellulite.

Hey, hey, he’s nicer than the average bear!

Florida wildlife officials are looking for a 100-pound grizzly-bear cub on the loose in Collier County.

Their warning to residents, however, is unusual.

Cubby was trained and raised in captivity, so people who encounter him should clap their hands and shout “Bear, go home!” and he’ll likely flee.

The rise of the planet of the apes continues!

Fifteen monkeys at a primate research center in Kyoto, Japan, taught themselves to elude a 15-foot-high electrified fence by using tree branches to catapult themselves and escape, one by one.

Once they were over, however, the research “lifers” didn’t know what to do next, so they waited outside and were lured back in with food.

There’s irony in the wind.

An Ontario, Canda, energy company received government permission to bulldoze a tree holding an eagle’s nest to make way for a wind turbine to provide green energy.

No carnivorous, majestic birds of prey were harmed.

The eagle family was last seen relocating to a new home.
