Weird BUT . true

You’ve got mail . . and a neat T-shirt.

Urban Outfitters is tapping into ’90s nostalgia, selling a $45 shirt with the old AOL logo — the triangular figure and “America Online” spelled out.

The shirt is made by Altru Apparel, which also has a shirt with the dial-up icons many AOL users remember. Going Solo. After a rash of injuries from broken glass during bar fights, Boston’s Liquor Licensing Board is considerin­g a proposal to force trouble spots to only use plastic cups.

“If we see a pattern of glass as a weapon, it will no longer be allowed,” board Chair Christine Puglini said. “You may be high-end, but you’re not acting highend.”

Michael Anthony, general manager at Townsman restaurant, was incredulou­s: “So we’re also going to ban forks, knives, fruitcakes and all items that could cause bodily harm, right?” This cookie won’t crumble. A 71-year-old Arizona woman keeps a heart-shaped cookie given to her mother by the mom’s boyfriend for Valentine’s Day 85 years ago.

“People back then didn’t have a lot of money,” said Penny Rickhoff, who keeps the cookie with her jewelry. “So you bake a cookie — what else can you do?”

Whatever you do, don’t burn that firewood.

Customs officers in Arizona confiscate­d stacks of firewood coming across the Mexican border in a pickup truck after a drug-sniffing dog’s reaction spurred suspicion.

Turns out the logs were hollowed out and stuffed with 100 pounds of marijuana worth about $53,000, officials said.

A 24-hour traffic enforcemen­t event by police in Canada resulted in 2,442 violations — including driving with a ferret.

The animal was wrapped around the shoulders of its owner, which Edmonton police considered distracted driving.
