Weird BUT true

A Siberian city is raising eyebrows with a new ice skating rink — shaped suspiciously like a penis.

The phallic fun park opened last Friday in Novosibirsk — and social-media users immediately mocked aerial photos of it.

Vice Mayor Anna Tereshkova playfully gave critics more ammunition when she backed the rink, insisting, “Real art should be arousing.”

How Canadian is this? A man in Canada robbed a bank — then fled on a getaway snowmobile.

The crook was wearing a mask and gloves when he burst into an ATB Financial branch in Alberta Friday with a long-barrelled firearm and a machete, police said.

The teller told cops that he was very polite.

He made off on the snowmobile with an undisclosed amount of cash.

A Las Vegas strip club donated branded tents to the homeless — angering some locals in the process.

One enraged mother said she was “taken aback” when she spotted the bawdily branded camping gear, calling Deja Vu Showgirls “immoral” and “disgusting.”

The club said providing shelter for vagrants “just seems like the right thing to do during the holidays.”

A man survived a fire in Australia — by hiding inside a pottery kiln.

When bushfires engulfed the only road out, Steve Harrison cowered in a makeshift, “coffin-sized” kiln that insulated him from flames ravaging his property in Balmoral, New South Wales.

“I could have [died] if I hadn’t thought about Plan B,” the 67-year-old potter told Australia’s ABC.

That’s how cases go cold. A cop in Canada was caught watching Hockey Night on his squad car’s internal computer — at the scene of a double shooting.

A TV-camera operator with Global News in Toronto spotted the cop viewing the Philadelphia Flyers–Ottawa Senators game steps from where two people were shot Saturday.
