Weird BUT true

- Tamar Lapin

It was ale in a day’s work for this California man.

Quick-thinking Chad Little quenched flames from a wildfire raging near his home — using cans of Bud Light.

First, he grabbed a hose on his Vacaville property, but realized water had been turned off amid the inferno. As the flames neared his adjacent workshop, he grabbed the only liquid he had left: beer.

“My buddies all tease me about drinking water beer,” Little said. “I say, ‘Hey, saved my shop.’ ”

He went to shell and back. A 150-pound tortoise is back at his Tennessee home after being on the run — er, crawl — for 74 days.

Solomon the sulcata tortoise somehow escaped his home in Ashland City on June 8.

On Thursday, the reptile, 15, was spotted grazing near a valley constructi­on site — less than a mile from home. He was tired, hungry and covered in mud, but appeared otherwise healthy.

Proof you can have too much of a good thing.

A woman in India is seeking to divorce her husband on the grounds that he doesn’t fight with her and loves her “too much.”

The bride, who is Muslim, approached a Sharia court just 18 months after her marriage, claiming her husband’s affection was “suffocatin­g” her. The court asked the couple to resolve the matter on their own.

They’re fowl, alright. Ireland is under attack from “extremely aggressive” birds not only stealing food but also spreading harmful bacteria.

Figures published by the Irish Mirror show an uptick calls in from people asking for help in dealing with gulls, pigeons and other pest birds that have been found to carry E.coli and salmonella.

This brings new meaning to “stream of consciousn­ess.”

Michael Gerry, 22, says he’s the first person ever to livestream his life for an entire year.

Gerry embarked on the project in 2019. At first, sex and bathroom-use were offlimits. But after he decided to make those parts available, too, he gained thousands of subscriber­s.
