Powered by irony. The Kentucky Coal Mining Museum, in Harland County, is switching to clean energy. The museum this week began installing solar panels on its roof in hopes of cutting its electricity bills.

“Of course, in the current economic times we’re in, any way to save money is always appreciated,” said Brandon Robinson, a spokesman for Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College, which owns the museum.

She got a little too into the lesson.

A Utah school district has settled a lawsuit with a student after she put on “drunk goggles” — made to simulate alcohol impairment — in class and then fell and broke her ankle.

The Davis School District will put aside more than $61,000 for Kylie Nielsen, who’ll get it when she turns 18. She was 13 when she got hurt in 2014.

Something’s fishy here. Leonard Vanderpool, of Winter Haven, Fla., couldn’t believe it when a live catfish crashed through his screened porch and into his swimming pool.

The fish was likely scooped out of the water by a bird, then dropped into Vanderpool’s pool.

A California woman is just happy to be alive after falling off the state’s highest bridge while snapping a selfie.

She was on a restricted section of the Foresthill Bridge near Auburn when she fell. Fortunately, she hit a trail 60 feet below — and not the river 730 feet down, Placer County police said.

Looks like politicians really are crooks.

A man doing 10 years in an Illinois prison for theft is barred from voting — but he’s perfectly within his rights to establish a politicalaction committee.

Angelo Pesce created “Impeach the Assole (sic)” and “Angelo Pesce Defends Pedophiles” from the Taylorsville Correctional Center.

Pesce’s filings don’t disclose who or what his PACs support.
