Weird BUT true

Now this is dedication. An Amazon delivery driver was captured on a doorbell cam in Delaware adhering to prank instructio­ns put out by a teenager to shout “Abracadabr­a!” and run away “super fast” after delivering a package.

Lynn Staffieri of Magnolia said her son, Jacob, 13, ordered a package and put in the goofy request for the delivery person, which included knocking three times.

The video shows a delivery woman, knocking and yelling the magic words before bolting back to her truck.

Lottery lightning has struck twice for one Australian woman.

The Melbourne resident recently scored a $35,000 jackpot from a scratch-off ticket — the same amount she won in the game three years earlier.

“I had a feeling back then that I would win something and I had the same feeling this time,” she said.

An 11-year-old Brazilian boy has broken two Guinness World Records: one for being the first skateboard­er to land a 1080-degree turn on a vertical ramp and the other for being the youngest X Games athlete.

Gui Khury achieved the daring 1080 stunt — turning three revolution­s in the air — just weeks ago, and was recognized by Guinness on Sunday.

In other record-setting news, two Idaho pals whose hobby is to keep Guinness World Record updaters (and Weird But True writers) busy, have set yet another mark.

David Rush and Jonathan Hannon crushed the record for most hits between two people in one-minute in the traditiona­l Japanese badminton-like game of Hanetsuki.

They got 103 hits, breaking the previous record of 89.

A Missouri driver’s attempt to flee a traffic stop was all wet.

After the unidentifi­ed man was pulled over Friday in Union, he suddenly hit the gas, drove through a hayfield, ditched his car and dived into the Bourbeuse River.

He was found and arrested hours later.
