Weird BUT true

It’s not easy being the big cheese in this wacky British competition.

But Chris Anderson, 30, has done it — winning a record-setting 22nd Gloucester cheese-rolling race.

Praise Jesus! A “Homeless Jesus” statue in front of a church in Hamilton, Canada, prevented an out-of-control truck from crashing into pedestrians, police said.

The driver, unable to stop at a light, turned and smashed into the life-sized statue that depicts Jesus on a bench wrapped in a blanket. It was a tornado time-out. A Little League baseball game in Illinois was briefly halted after a dust devil swept across the field, stunning onlookers.

The Libertyville Professional Firefighters Association tweeted out a video of the occurrence, showing the whirlwind of dust glide over the field, steps away from players.

A big-hearted surfer at a Florida beach was captured on video rescuing a drowning pigeon.

“It looked like it just got hit by a wave and couldn’t get back out,” said Nicole Fulwiler, who took the video at Venice Beach.

Fulwiler and her children watched from the shoreline as the surfer swam to the struggling bird and saved it.
