Weird BUT true

- Natalie O’Neill, Wires

Aging can be ruff. An old bulldog named Frank got a Hollywoodw­orthy facelift at a London animal hospital. Frank’s saggy skin caused him so much trouble breathing, Blue Cross Animal Hospital tightened it with a nip and tuck, the hospital said.

His owner also had a large flap of skin removed from above the pooch’s eyes to help him see better.

What a dope! A Pennsylvan­ia man tried to pull off a drug deal in traffic court — right in front of the judge, police said.

Christophe­r Durkin, 35, offered to sell a man seated just feet from the bench several doses of the synthetic opiate Suboxone, according to cops.

Durkin was in court for allegedly driving with a suspended license.

A teenager in Nepal set a world record for fitting 138 pencils in his mouth at once, saying he simply “likes weird things.”

Raja Thapa, 19, broke the previous record of 92 pencils, set by Dinesh Shivnath Upadyaya of India.

Thapa, who works as a security guard, practiced for weeks.

Nothing to see here. A gaggle of gals in Wiltshire, England, mistook a real cop for a stripper after he stumbled into a 50thbirthd­ay party.

The women went wild, hollering, “Are you here for the Stripogram?!” said the young uniformed officer, Mike Ober, who said he had to make “a hasty retreat.”

They want equal “lights!” An Austrian city will get gaythemed traffic lights after conservati­ve activists pushed to ban them, city officials said.

The traffic signals in Linz feature redandgree­n samesex couples holding hands to symbolize tolerance and diversity.

The Freedom Party filed a complaint against a deputy mayor to stop the project — but the city council overturned it this week.
