Weird BUT true

A North Carolina air traveler’s bad break led to, well, another bad break.

Stranded passenger Kathy Irene Albright, 24, was so furious when her flight was canceled, she smashed a window at Charlotte Douglas International Airport late Monday, police said.

She was cited by police for property damage.

The top dog of politics is retiring.

Mayor Duke, a Great Pyrenees pooch who has served as the ceremonial mayor of a small Minnesota town for four terms, is stepping down at age 13, the dog’s owners announced.

First elected in a write-in campaign, the four-legged pol was re-elected three times as mayor of Cormorant, a town of 1,000 people.

Duke will have a farewell parade this summer. Her clothing fit the crime. A boozy Minnesota woman with a history of drunken driving was wearing a T-shirt inscribed “Alcohol you later” when she crashed her car into a ditch and was charged with DWI, police said.

Katharine Marie Luedtke, 34, allegedly blew more than twice the legal limit on a Breathalyzer test after the single-car crash last week. Beware of the caterpillars. Logan Pergola, a Land O’Lakes, Fla., teen, was dizzy, had trouble seeing and felt sharp pains after a brush with a small furry caterpillar, later identified as a southern flannel moth.

“It just hurt like a small scratch. Then all of the sudden, my arm went numb and I felt a burning pain,” said Pergola, who was rushed to a hospital where he was treated and released.

It’s a theft of mammoth proportions.

An estimated 10,000-yearold mammoth tusk weighing 100 pounds has been swiped from the Campbell Creek Science Center in Alaska.

The federal Bureau of Land Management, which runs the center, has offered a $500 reward for tips leading to its recovery.
