Weird BUT true
It’s a jungle down there. A straphanger was caught in wild video footage feeding her pet raccoon on a New York City subway train.
Brooke Hogan, an Australian model, was headed uptown on a 6 train when another straphanger pulled out a plastic bowl.
Hogan shot video of the raccoon perched in a seat, clutching the bowl with both paws and chowing down. He’s the dummy. A Massachusetts driver was busted trying to slip into a carpool lane with a mannequin riding shotgun.
Todd Glidden, 44, of Reading, was hit with a ticket when a cop noticed his plastic companion, which he’d decked out in a hoodie and sunglasses.
A Missouri couple returned home to discover construction workers had ripped the roof off their house by mistake.
A crew of hardhats got the wrong address for a project in St. Louis, tore off dozens of shingles — and bolted when they realized the screw-up, according to a report.
The company will fix the roof at no charge for Chris and Laura McInnis, who were about to sell the home.
A Florida man pretending to be a police officer was arrested when he tried to pull over a woman — who turned out to be a real cop.
Milton Morales-Perez, 46, allegedly rolled down the window of his Ford Mustang, flashed a fake silver badge and ordered Miami Officer Kenia Fallat to stop the car.
Fallat, who was driving an unmarked cop car, promptly charged him with impersonating a police officer. This idea’s quacked. South Korean researchers want to replace car horns with the sound of ducks quacking.
Noise pollution researchers at Soongsil University in Seoul asked 100 participants to rate honking sounds based on their attention-grabbing and calming qualities.
They found the quacking noise best alerts people to danger without creating stress.
