Weird BUT true

The mystery meat in this school’s chili turned out to be kangaroo.

Several students at Potter-Dix HS and JHS in western Nebraska reported feeling ill this week after eating the marsupial meat mixed with beef.

School Superintendent Mike Williams said he doubts the meat was unhealthy or dangerous but vowed it won’t be served again.

What was being sold outside this Richmond, Va., Burger King was a shell shocker.

Animal Care and Control workers found 50 baby redeared slider turtles being hawked illegally in the fastfood joint’s parking lot.

The turtles were seized and put up for adoption to people who promised not to release them into the wild.

Charges are pending against the sellers.

Think small. A Connecticut company has broken a Guinness World Record by creating a microscopic advertisement.

The ad is 33.27 micrometers by 7.76 micrometers. To put that in perspective, a strand of human hair is about 75 micrometers thick.

The ad says, “To truly go small you have to think big.”

The company, ASML, announced online, “We tackle the toughest challenges in tech, and we do it with ambition, commitment and creativity.”

Forget the hype. No, really, forget it.

Nebraska’s previous state Tourism Commission slogan, “Through My Eyes,” was replaced this week with a very soft-sell approach saying: “Nebraska. Honestly, it’s not for everyone.”

A Texas traffic stop got pretty scary — when a spider got involved.

The eight-legged arachnid crawled to a spot on the Fulshear cop’s dashboard camera during the stop, and ended up looking gigantic.

A clerk reviewing the footage, now seen by thousands online, got “quite the Halloween scare,” police said.
