Weird BUT true

No tan do.

Cops rushed to a “dead body” found near train tracks in England — only to learn it was just a guy sunbathing nude.

Rail workers reported catching a glimpse of the man letting it all hang out near Essex, and assumed he was a corpse before reporting it to police.

It’s “Bambi” meets “Rescue 911.”

An adorable baby deer was rescued from drowning in Texas and given mouth-tomouth resuscitat­ion by two good Samaritans.

The fawn was plucked from Lake Tyler by Brian Ballard and a friend, who are seen on video blowing into the deer’s nose and mouth until it begins to move and breathe on its own.

This idea’s a shoe-in. A Romanian cobbler has invented a new way to encourage social distancing — a pair of 2¹/2- foot-long shoes.

So Lup came up with the idea for the enormous leather kicks to help keep people from getting too close in public spaces.

“If two people wearing these shoes were facing each other, there would be almost [six feet] between them,” he said.

An Australian hotel owner hunting for a serial burglar learned the culprit was actually an endangered marsupial.

The northern quoll — which looks like a cross between a rabbit and a raccoon — set off the alarm in a store inside the Bungalow Hotel in Cairns several times, waking up the owner.

The critter was later seen on surveillan­ce video scurrying around the hotel.

A Massachuse­tts man threw a “large pickle” at a highway worker, and was tossed in the cooler.

Christoph Herrmannsd­oerfer, 34, of Williamsto­wn, was in the passenger seat when he allegedly chucked the pickle from a moving car, causing the worker “pain,” cops said.

He was charged with simple assault.
