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.
