Weird BUT true

-

A would-be thief in Florida picked the worst possible place for a break-in — a surveillan­ce-camera shop.

The bandit was caught on several hidden cameras trying to smash in a door at Spy Spot Investigat­ions in Deerfield Beach, cops said.

A llama on the lam snarled rush-hour traffic in Georgia.

The llama escaped from a farm near Athens and took a stroll down the area’s busiest highway, Epps Bridge Parkway, forcing drivers to slam on their brakes.

Three cops caught the unnamed llama, whose owner later picked it up in a van. He’s no birdbrain. A Canadian man took a battle to keep his pet crow to court — and won.

Quebec wildlife officials ruffled Simon Pérusse’s feathers when they slapped him with a $650 fine for keeping a wild bird in captivity.

But he claimed in court that the bird, Moko, became his pet seven years ago after it broke a wing. A judge dropped the fine and issued him a special permit.

Doctors removed a monster of a tumor — complete with a skull, hair and a brain — from a teenager’s ovary in Japan.

The surgeons made the horror-movie-style discovery after removing the 16year-old girl’s appendix.

The teratoma — a special type of tumor that grows tissue found elsewhere on the body — measured 10 centimeter­s long and had a three-centimeter-wide brain. His funeral was dead sexy. More than 50 pole dancers shook their stuff on top of Jeeps at a wild funeral procession for a Taiwanese politician, according to reports.

Former Chiayi County Council Speaker Tung Hsiang, who died in December at age 76, requested the wacky stunt because he wanted his memorial to be “hilarious,” his son said.

It also featured drummers, imported luxury cars and flag bearers.
