Weird BUT true

Running away from your mistakes never works.

A 19-year-old man who flipped his car in Wisconsin this week pretended to be a passing jogger in a futile bid to fool police, authorities said.

The teen fled the scene of the single-vehicle crash, removed some clothing and then returned. He told Madison cops he was an “uninvolved jogger,” but was arrested anyway.

A California couple remodeling their bathroom discovered a hilarious message from their home’s previous owners.

“Hi! We’re the Shinsekis!” read the message left behind a wall, along with a photo of the couple. “We remodeled this bathroom Summer 1995. If you are reading this, that means you’re remodeling the bathroom again. What’s wrong with the way we did it?!?!?”

into this zoo,” said Jennifer Jackson, of the Idaho Fish and Game Department.

A Michigan library wants its users to know erotica matters, too.

The Berkley Public Library has openly displayed its R-rated movies, including “Fifty Shades of Grey,” after a prude library-goer hid the racy movies.

“Someone didn’t want you to check these items out,” the library wrote on Facebook. “They deliberately hid all of these items so you wouldn’t find them. This is not how libraries work.”

A zapped, burning bird that fell from an electric line ignited a field in Germany, setting fire to 17 acres of land.

Witnesses said the bird hit the ground in flames, torching a field in Brinckmansdorf after a bout of dry weather.
