Weird BUT true

What a buzzkill. An Ohio judge called out one of his colleagues for vaping on the bench and wants to bar the use of e-cigarettes in local courtrooms.

Judge John J. Russo said he spoke to smoke-blowing Judge Joseph D. Russo after a juror complained.

The puffing jurist was also called out by a man convicted of rape — who said the device altered the judge’s brain chemistry so he couldn’t render a fair verdict.

A man wearing a clown costume led California police on a high-speed pursuit through Orange County — part of which he spent standing up through his car’s sunroof.

Video of the bizarre 35-mile chase shows the man in a green wig appearing to taunt cops as he stands up through the roof of his sedan.

He eventually hopped out of the car and was arrested. Nothing sweet about this. An ice-cream man in the English town of Hinckley claims two of his vans were torched in a summer turf war.

Tony Del Busso, known as “Mr. Cool,” says rival vendors targeted his family-run business by setting a blaze that spread to his house, destroying his garage and bedroom.

A Florida company wants to give some green to people who’ve seen little green men.

The St. Lawrence Agency offers alien-abduction insurance — and it has sold 6,000 of the policies since 1987.

They cost $19.95 to $24.95, and at least two claims have been paid out, including to one person who submitted a Polaroid picture with alleged aliens as proof. Frankenste­in Inc. Some 33 people sued the Biological Resource Center in Phoenix, a body-donation center, claiming the remains of their family members were obtained through “false statements” and were sold for profit without being treated or disposed of with respect.

So the FBI raided the nowshutter­ed company and found a head sewn onto a mismatched body, a bucket of limbs — and a cooler filled with penises.
