Weird but true

Peta has come out against whaling — as depicted in a video game.

“It’s disgraceful for any game to glorify it,” the group said of “Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag,” in which players can hunt and kill make-believe whales in the 19th century.

Cops captured a criminal by following his trail of destruction.

Vachoran Johnson allegedly went on a wild ride in an SUV in Lexington, Ky., hitting parked cars, street signs and even a building.

Police said they found it easy to finally nab him once his Jeep Cherokee broke down.

“[We] just followed the direction that the accidents were going in,” said one officer.

Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is a good pick-me-up — and a good weapon, too.

A worker at a West Haven, Conn., Dunkin’ Donuts foiled a robbery by tossing a pot of hot java at a crook who tried to climb in the drive-through window and grab cash.

The employee reportedly shouted at the fleeing thief, “Go run on Dunkin’!”

A Maryland elementary school, it turns out, has a zero-tolerance policy against buns — or, make that, guns.

A 7-year-old second-grader ran afoul of the policy by shaping a gooey breakfast pastry into the shape of a gun.

As soon as teachers saw his handiwork, the boy was suspended.

The next day, a counselor was made available to the other pupils.

It wasn’t exactly the great escape.

A drunken driver in Arkansas tried to make a getaway after crashing into a mobile home — while riding an electric toy truck.

Jamie Craft, 29, didn’t get far in the Fisher-Price Power Wheels vehicle, which belonged to a child who lived in the mobile home. The boy’s father grabbed Craft and pulled her out.
