Weird BUT true

- Natalie O’Neill, Wires

A drunk Australian man who was stabbed during a bar brawl ordered one more pint of beer — with a knife sticking out of his back.

The fight broke out between the 27-year-old boozehound and a 20-yearold man outside Beerwah Hotel near Lanesborou­gh.

After he was stabbed, the man walked back inside the bar and guzzled another cold one before finally heading to Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

There was something fishy about this traffic stop.

Cops pulled over a Florida man and found a dead shark inside a cooler in his truck.

Jose Medina, 63, of Miami said he found the lemon shark carcass on a beach and tried to take it home because he “didn’t want it to go to waste,” according to police.

He was cited for harvesting a protected species.

A Canadian man has finally been forgiven for his birdbraine­d act.

Nick Burchill was banned from a hotel 17 years ago after he left a pack of pepperoni by an open window, prompting hungry seagulls to trash the room.

But Burchill, of Nova Scotia, was allowed to return to the Empress hotel in Victoria after writing an apology. That’s a serious sugar high. Day-care workers in Maine called cops to report they had unwittingl­y eaten pot cookies — but a lab test revealed there were no drugs in the treats.

Police are baffled by why 10 staffers at Watch Me Shine day care in Bangor said they felt intoxicate­d after eating Valentine’s Day cookies dropped off by a parent, especially after a crime lab concluded they contained no controlled substances. It’s a new age in politics. Ethan Sonneborn of Bristol, Va., is 13 — and he’s running for governor.

Sonneborn can run because Virginia has no agebased restrictio­ns for gubernator­ial candidates. He says his platform’s focus is on gun reform, because kids his age are the ones getting shot.
