Weird BUT true

This Kentucky pizza-delivery guy really delivered.

When Ralph Letner arrived with a Donatos pie on Sunday for a customer in a Somerset, Ky., mobile home, the place was on fire.

Without hesitation, Letner raced inside and, on his hands and knees, dragged out Jesse Decker, who now calls Letner his hero.

A woman previously arrested for DUI-related offenses in Kentucky, Wisconsin, Indiana, California, Oregon and Minnesota was charged with drunken driving Monday in Illinois.

Tasha Schleicher, 41, was busted in Riverside, Ill., where she had passed out at the wheel of her car at a gas station after trying to fill the car with kerosene, not gasoline, police said. It’s a raccoon apocalypse. Police in Youngstown, Ohio, have responded to more than a dozen reports of “zombie-like” raccoons standing on their hind legs, baring their teeth, then falling over in a comatose state.

Ohio officials suspect the raccoons are suffering from distemper, a disease not transmissi­ble to humans but that could spread to dogs.

This 97-year-old Florida granny is a rare kind of golden girl — winning a string of gold medals for weightlift­ing.

Edith Traina, a former line-dance instructor, credits her recent passion for the sport plus her threeday-a-week gym workouts.

In February, Traina won two gold medals at the Polk County Senior Games for the 95-99 division with a 60pound bench press and a 130-pound deadlift.

The TV show “The Office” got partial credit for the recent rescue of a drowning squirrel.

Natalie Belsito, a Central Michigan University soccer player, said she noticed the critter flailing in a campus pond. When a man pulled the squirrel out, Belsito gave it CPR while singing the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive,” inspired by a scene from the NBC sitcom.
