Weird BUT true

Two small aircraft collided in the sky, sending one plunging into a river in Canada — and amazingly nobody was seriously injured.

The two planes crashed above Ottawa on Sunday, forcing a 70-year-old pilot to land upside down in the water.

Rescuers pulled him onto a boat, and the other pilot touched down safely.

He went off the rails — while high above them.

An Oregon man spent an entire night perched naked atop of a railroad crossing sign, then jumped down, led cops on a wild chase and punched a police dog, according to authoritie­s.

Brandon Lee Jackson, 39, allegedly bared his own caboose during the ordeal — at points exposing himself and tossing objects at onlookers — starting Monday night in Eugene. The pup was OK.

All that’s missing is the Batmobile.

A die-hard Dark Knight fan from Portland, Maine, swooped in to set a new world record for the most gadgets ever built into a Batman costume.

Keith Dinsmore’s ultra-realistic Caped Crusader getup features 23 crime-fighting mechanisms, including a butane torch, a fingerprin­t kit, a tracking device and handcuffs, according to Guinness World Records.

What gave him away? A less-than-sharp Florida man with a machete tattooed under his eye was arrested for slashing someone with the same type of knife.

Justin Arthur Allen Couch, 25, allegedly sliced the unnamed guy’s arm and leg after an argument outside a home in Spring Hill.

A bandit broke into a Florida wildlife sanctuary and swiped five reptiles — including a rare albino boa constricto­r, according to cops.

A worker at Everglades Wonder Gardens in Bonita Springs was doing her rounds when she noticed that the boa, along with two other snakes and two Russian tortoises, had been snatched. She later found a broken lock.
