Weird BUT true

A drunken Alaskan just wanted to curl up with a good book — so he broke into a library.

The boozy bookworm smashed the glass front door of the Noel Wien Library in Fairbanks after hours.

The said he just “really wanted to read,” said library director Melissa Harter.

He left when he was told the facility was closed. Well, that was quick. A German teen managed to lose his driver’s license just 49 minutes after receiving it, police said.

The 18-year-old was leaving his driving test, which he passed with flying colors, when officers clocked him with a speed gun driving 60 mph in a 30-mph zone.

“Some things last for ever — others not for an hour,” German police said.

A Pennsylvania homeowner shot a man who tried to break into his abode using a rock, police said.
