A boy in China had a 5-foot metal wire surgically removed from his bladder after it was stuck there for five years.

The now-10-year-old inserted the wire into his penis “out of boredom,” his father said. The boy started urinating blood but is on the mend after emergency surgery in the province of Jiangxi.

British police are investigat­ing a recent caught-on-camera incident in which a woman apparently kicks a pair of swans in a canal.

Video shows a group peering at the two swans in the water at the Limehouse Basin in east London before the woman dips her leg down and appears to kick the birds.

Witnesses say the woman was actually trying to help the swans — claiming the birds were engaged in a “murderous” fight and she was attempting to break it up.

A dog stuck in a sewage hole in Scotland for two days was rescued after his owner used a stick of sausage to lure him out.

Sarah Adams and Declan Kemp’s 5-year-old Pekingese cross, Coco, ran off during a walk in Edinburgh last week and stumbled into a large hole in a park, then apparently wandered off undergroun­d.

On the third day of searching, Adams brought some Peperami, a pork-sausage snack. Coco started whining for a taste and was soon rescued.

A replica Wild West town deep in New Zealand is on the market for $7.5 million.

The Mellonsfol­ly Ranch, an authentic Western town situated on the Central Plateau of the North Island, was built in 2006 and meant to resemble 1860s Wyoming.

It features a sheriff ’s office, a general store and a saloon.

Somebody slap some sense into this guy.

An Idaho man who has broken more 150 Guinness World Records broke yet another when he took 92 hits to the face with wet sponges.

David Rush had some help from his pal Jonathan Hannon, who hurled 106 sponges in one minute.

The previous record stood at 76 sponge hits.
