He was almost in over his head.

Canadian snowmobile­rs rescued a moose who was buried up to his neck in snow.

The good Samaritans discovered the moose in about 6 feet of powder near Deer Lake, Newfoundla­nd, and used some shovels to dig a path out behind the frightened animal.

Thailand is going nuts for this new fad.

A Bangkok clinic offering penis-whitening says it’s swelling with more than 100 customers a month.

The $650 routine uses a “very small laser” over five sessions and has become popular with the Bangkok LGBT community. It was a shotgun wedding. Indian man Vinod Kumar says he was abducted and forced at gunpoint to marry a stranger.

Kumar said an acquaintan­ce invited him to someone else’s wedding, but when he got there, he found out the wedding was for him and his buddy was his soon-to-be brother-in-law. Poor families unable to afford a dowry sometimes resort to the practice, known as “pakdua shad.”

Kumar, 26, was rescued by police and made it back to his family in Bihar.

That blows. Nine European backpacker­s were hospitaliz­ed in Australia after they snorted a mysterious white powder assuming it was cocaine.

First he popped the vault, then he popped the question.

An Ohio man is accused of robbing a bank and using the proceeds to buy his girlfriend an engagement ring.

Dustin Pedersen, 36, allegedly stole $8,800 from a Fifth Third Bank in Trenton on Dec. 16 and then bought a $4,500 ring less than an hour later.
