In this case, it’s OK to cry over spilt milk.

A lactose disaster brought Interstate 5 in Washington state to a halt when a semitruck went out of control and spilled powdered milk all over the roadway in the Tumwater area.

No one was seriously hurt, but traffic on the busy artery was clogged — even though the product was nonfat milk.

The United Kingdom is starting to look like Florida.

A town in England has been put on high alert after an 8-foot-long boa constricto­r escaped its owner’s home in Lincolnshi­re.

Police said residents should not approach the snake and should cover vents in their home.

Santa Claus is coming to town — and he’s blocking traffic.

A giant inflatable Kriss Kringle blew away from a home’s front yard in Wisbech, England, and went bouncing down a highway.

The display was larger than a truck and resulted in cars screeching to a halt, spreading the opposite of Christmas cheer.

Road rage, Thailand-style. A driver in Bangkok was killed when he bumped his car into an elephant on an unlit road near a national park and the furious pachyderm stomped on the vehicle.

The driver ignored signs to slow down near Khaoyai National Park and apparently hit the elephant’s legs.

Officials guided the pachyderm back into the park.

Time for this prankster to cash in on the infamy.

Residents of North Deer Island in Maine were bewildered to find an ATM pop up in the middle of nowhere, in a forest off of a rural road.

The police, who apparently aren’t very busy, investigat­ed, warning residents not to enter their PINs in the mystery machine.

Turns out the ATM wasn’t working. A woman later told police she had placed it there to prank her neighbors.
