Weird true

- David K. Li, Wires

An upstate woman who reviews children’s toys and clothes on her blog got an unexpected delivery — seven pounds of marijuana.

“I’ve done tons of reviews. This is the first time that I have gotten a package like this,” said Pamela Marks, of Valatie, NY, who called the cops. “It’s very bizarre, anybody who knows me knows I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs, so for me to get this package was totally one in a million.”

A Pullman, Wash., drugstore found itself in the middle of a college daw-gand-cat fight.

Bartell Drugs was selling $18 Washington State Cougars socks bearing the WSU logo — but, unfortunat­ely, also stitching reading “Go Dawgs,” which is the cheer of WSU’s fiercest rival, the University of Washington Huskies.

Angry fans prompted Bartell to return 245 socks to producers who blamed a glitch in switching out the UW slogan when making the WSU socks.

Ivan Briggs celebrated his 90th birthday in high style — by jumping from a plane 15,000 feet above the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

“It was great!” said Briggs, who said he was inspired by his favorite president, George H.W. Bush, who also went skydiving for his 90th birthday.

This sale is really unpresiden­ted.

The Hall of Presidents and First Ladies Museum in Gettysburg, Pa., which closed in November, will auction off all of its wax figures on Jan. 14. All 44 president statues, which will be sold separately, will be displayed Sunday and on Jan. 12.

The University of California, Davis will no longer have to pour away thousands of gallons of wine made annually by its Viticultur­e and Enology students.

The school can’t qualify for a for-profit wine-making license. So state lawmakers carved out an exception enabling it to sell its amateurish vino — as vinegar.
