Weird BUT true
Too sharp for school. A 6-year-old British boy was booted from school by officials who said his mohawk “might poke another child in the eye,” according to his mom.
Charlie Chafer wore the punk rock-inspired ’do to Drayton Park Primary School in Milton Keynes — and was ordered to either go home or shave his head, said mother Kirstie-Lea Day, 26.
School officials said they don’t allow “extreme” haircuts.
A bull escaped from a circumcision surgery at a vet clinic in Utah and went on the lam — before being shot with a tranquilizer and captured.
The 2,000-pound bovine became (understandably) agitated before the procedure at the veterinary center in Tooele and burst out a door, then hopped a fence.
The animal was wrangled by cops.
A German triathlete was banned from an all-youcan-eat sushi buffet for scarfing down too many plates of raw fish.
Jaroslav Bobrowski, 30, who is training for an Iron Man competition, paid roughly $19 to gobble down nearly 100 plates of grub at Running Sushi in Landshut.
High frequency. Workers at a classic-rock radio station in Boston opened a box sent to the office — and found 20 pounds of marijuana inside.
Employees at the station — which plays psychedelic hits from Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin — had different suggestions about what to do with it. They ended up turning it over to cops.
They’re on a roll. Researchers who conducted a study claiming that kidney stones can be cured by roller coasters won a parody award called the Ig Nobel Prize for Medicine.
David Wartinger of Michigan State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine hatched the idea after a patient reported one of his kidney stones became dislodged during a ride.
