Weird BUT true

Monkey see, monkey do — better than us!

Simians repeatedly beat humans at a video game, proving they can outsmart people at creative problemsol­ving, a new study said.

During the Georgia State University experiment, students and rhesus macaque monkeys were both tasked with creating triangles by clicking other shapes.

The primates did better because they switched strategies, while the humans stuck to the same rigid techniques.

That’s a lot of cheddar. Two crooks were busted swiping $50,000 in cheese from a California food shop and selling it door-to-door.

In the so-called “cheese ring,” Roderick Ransom, 34, and Jairo Alvarez, 24, and others allegedly stole the grub from a grocery store in Leprino over a two-year period, police said.

This mom saw double — twice.

A Georgia mother gave birth to twin girls — with the help of two identical-twin nurses.

Little Addison and Emma Williams were delivered via C-section at Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center late last month, said happy mamma Rebecca Williams.

It was the first time the twin-nurse sisters Tori and Tara had ever worked in the delivery room together.

Teacher’s pet is in big trouble.

A ferocious bobcat burst into an Oregon school while classes were in session and scampered by the principal’s office before officials wrangled it.

School staffers locked the curious critter inside a room at Oak Hill School in Eugene for about an hour. Wildlife officials then captured and euthanized it.

Meteorolog­ists in Minnesota spotted unusual activity on a radar machine that appeared to be wildfire, and called the Fire Department.

But the “blaze” turned out to be 600,000 ducks in flight near a lake.
