Weird BUT true

Thailand’s prime minister could teach President Trump a thing or two about fake news.

Prayuth Chan-ocha — a military leader who seized power in a coup — dodged tough questions by placing a cardboard cut-out of himself in front of the press pack and telling reporters to ask the facsimile instead.

“If you want to ask any questions on politics or conflict, ask this guy,” he said and walked away. Nobody saw this coming. A Japanese security firm is now offering guards dressed as ninjas — and is hoping to score a contract for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

“Ninja are world-class icons, and we want people to feel familiar with security at sports facilities,” SCC Co. head Maya Miyoshi said. Picking the “right” seat. A new study has found that the majority of fliers prefer to sit on the right side of the airplane.

Researchers from Edinburgh and Queen Margaret universities gave 32 subjects seating diagrams of planes facing in different directions, but most people consistently chose the right side regardless of orientation.

A Florida woman plans to “marry” the video game Tetris — after relationships with monorails, iPods, treadmills and her calculator, Pierre, didn’t work out.

Student Noorul Mahjabeen Hassan — who prefers the name Fractal Tetris Huracan — says she’s sexually attracted to physical objects rather than human beings.

Things with Pierre fizzled when he short-circuited, but now the retro Nintendo game pushes her buttons.

Even Sailor Moon couldn’t defeat syphilis.

A Japanese safe-sex campaign featuring the popular anime superhero has failed to rein in the country’s growing problem with the sexually transmitted disease.

The government printed 5,000 posters of Sailor Moon saying, “If you don’t get tested, I will punish you!” but syphilis cases still increased in 2017.
