Weird BUT true

Want to know which came first, the chicken or the egg? Just ask a woman named Irina from Moscow.

She was planning to go on vacation with a pal and bought some eggs for when they got back.

When she returned home, she heard some strange noises. It turned out baby chicks had hatched from some of the eggs.

The woman, who did not disclose her last name, is keeping them as pets for the time being and hoping health authoritie­s don’t raid her coop.

Firefighte­rs in the Austrian state of Steyr were called to rescue what witnesses thought was the body of a hot-looking woman floating beneath a bridge.

It turned out the “corpse” was full of hot air.

The floater was a partially inflated sex doll.

This old lady loves old whiskey.

At 112, Grace Jones, known to her friends as “Amazing Grace,’’ is the oldest person in England.

She attributes her longevity to a nightly shot of the rye.

“I never miss my nightcap,’’ she said. “All I have is the whiskey at night. Whiskey is very good for you.’’

Residents of a London neighborho­od famous among addicts for selling the cheapest heroin in Europe decided to embarrass cops who allegedly weren’t cracking down on the illicit trade.

A community group marked a space on the road “reserved” for drug dealers.

And they put up fake traffic signs reading, “Crack pickup point.’’

It was not immediatel­y clear if the trafficker­s had found a new neighborho­od to sell their wares.

Speaking of dealers, a Colombian museum dedicated to the exploits of notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar — who was slain in a police shootout in 1993 — is no more.

It was closed down by local authoritie­s because its owners had not obtained a tourism license.
