Weird BUT true

This couple is kink-key! Police in Britain were called to a home to solve a dicey domestic dilemma.

A man phoned authorities after his girlfriend locked him in handcuffs and they couldn’t find the key — and he warned firefighers not to damage the pricey restraints.

These folks are bad with names.

A Quebec, Canada, town called Asbestos got its moniker from the material originally mined there, but has since come to be associated with deadly cancers.

Looking for a new bill of health, the town is seeking a new identity, but the options up for a public vote are also unappealing:

Phenix, Apalone, TroisLacs and Jeffery, the latter being the name of the man who operated the town’s first asbestos mine.

Harvard hipsters annually get a rise handing out the Ig Nobel Prizes, founded in 1991 to “honor achievements that make people laugh, then think.”

This year’s winners included researchers who made knives out of frozen poop and a team of scientists who had an alligator shout after inhaling helium.

Trick or treat in the spirit of COVID!

An Ohio dad is drawing attention online for his Halloween invention: a “candy chute” for touchfree trick-or-treating.

Andrew Beattie of Cincinnati said he and his 6-year-old daughter took a tube from an Amazon package and got out the spray paint and the duct tape.

The 6-foot-long tube was affixed to Beattie’s front porch handrail, creating a nifty tool for handing out candy.

It’s a tourist distraction. A new sign welcoming travelers to a Florida city is drawing attention for the wrong reasons.

The “Welcome to Dania Beach” sign on a road median is posted in the wrong town — Hollywood.
