Weird BUT true
A British woman returned from a trip across the world — only to find squatters running an elaborate weed farm in her home.
Tanya Laverty, of Wavertree, England, said she rented her pad to a family while she traveled around Asia.

Need a job? The city of Edmonton, Alberta, posted an opening for a “goat coordinator” to spearhead the Canadian city’s GoatWorks program, in which 170 of the creatures are used to munch weeds in public parks.
The gig pays $43 an hour for up to 11 months.

A Missouri man led cops on a high-speed freeway chase while riding an ATV on the wrong side of the road — oh, and he was naked.

When cops tried to arrest him, he made a break for I435 — but crashed and went flying in his birthday suit. He was taken into custody.
A California news anchor was forced to wing it when a bird landed on top of her head during a live segment.
Nichelle Medina, who cohosts the morning news on San Diego’s KFMB, was doing a segment on the San Diego Zoo when “Sophie,” a 10year-old scarlet Ibis, flew in.
The birds are “good for weeding your garden, or flying onto my head,” Medina joked. Natalie O’Neill,Wires
