Weird BUT true

The University of Nevada is looking north.

The Reno campus boasts of having a student from every state in the union except for Vermont, so it took out an ad in the Burlington Free Press asking for someone to apply.

“Having just one Vermont student to round out our list would be sweet,” the ad reads, before adding a reference to a regional icecream delicacy. “Just like that Vermont Maple Creemee we all love so much.”

Hold the pickles, hold the fight.

Cops had to break up a brouhaha at a McDonald’s in Carlsbad, NM, after a customer went nuts — because he asked for no pickles on his order but got them anyway.

Kids at a Virginia elementary school can now learn reading, writing and arithmetic with rifles close at hand.

A gun store opened in the town of McLean, basically in the back yard of Franklin Sherman Elementary School.

Parents protested, but so far the owner of Nova Firearms doesn’t plan to move.

And you thought your commute was bad.

A Roeland Park, Kan., cop was responding to calls about a strange man in a park when he came upon Samuel Meixueiro.

Officer Zach Stamper gave him a lift to work and later brought him a bicycle.

Sheriff ’s deputies are on the lookout for three men who stole the ashes of a woman’s late husband.

The 83yearold widow arrived at her home in Saratoga, Calif., and saw two men leaving and getting into a car driven by another man.

The thieves got away with a dark mahogany box that contained her husband’s ashes, his death certificate and four silver coins, authorities said.
