Thank goodness for the warranty!

A woman visiting her former home in Montana found the class ring she dropped 50 years earlier.

Judi Dyson paid a visit to her old digs with family, and a metal detector helped find the long-lost keepsake.

Manufactur­er Jostens determined the ring from her Pickstown, SD, graduating class of 1960 was still under warranty and is cleaning, repairing and resizing it.

Take a number! A cagey customer took phone video of a pelican that wandered into Australia’s Cargo’s Wharf Restaurant and joined the crowd in line.

The pelican, perhaps not impressed with the fish and chips, got out of line after a few moments and was guided out.

This old house, indeed. People from a village in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province used fossils that are hundreds of millions of years old to build their homes.

The houses were built using large rocks and many contain fossils of leaves and other prehistori­c life, according to a Pear Video posted on Sina Weibo.

The village appears to have been built before the age of cement.

Michigan scientists promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineerin­g and Math) education say they’ve created the world’s largest periodic table.

The brainiacs say their Guinness World Record table measures 120 yards long by 53.3 yards tall. Each element on the table is about 18 by 14 feet.

A Florida man could not get the local fire department to remove a python slithering in his car, but a TV newsman sped to the scene and saved the day.

Orlando’s Bill Siemon also called a trapper, but reporter Steve Barrett got there first. Siemon and Barrett worked together to get the snake out of the wheel well and into a trash can.
