Weird BUT true

These small creatures are having a big impact on the Oregon Humane Society.

A frantic pet owner recently dumped 250 guinea pigs on the organizati­on, which is now trying to find homes for the furry rodents.

Weighing less than three pounds apiece, the guinea pigs like company — but the society will offer counseling before sending a male-female pair of the fastbreedi­ng animals to a home.

Didn’t get your package? A Kentucky mail carrier knows why.

Tim Smith posted a photo of two pooches running toward him on Facebook as one explanatio­n for what’s slowing down the mail. One of the dogs had an ax in its mouth.

“There’s a lot of reasons why your mailman might not deliver your packages, and this is one of them. I can handle a dog, but not a dog with an ax,” he said, adding an emoticon of a face crying with laughter.

Chile is taking coronaviru­s restrictio­ns very seriously.

So seriously, in fact, that Chilean President Sebastian Pinera was slapped with a $3,500 fine after he posted a selfie taken on the beach with a bystander not wearing a mask.

Pinera got off easy: Violations could also mean jail.

Two robbers locked a man in a closet in his home in The Netherland­s after a Pokemon card sale went bad.

The victim had an appointmen­t with a buyer, who showed up with a second man. After the seller showed them the cards he was offering, they locked him in a closet and made off with the cards.

Luck be a lady. An Australian veterinari­an won $10,000 after she bought a lottery ticket so she could meet the minimum purchase total to use a payment card.

She said she asked for a ticket with a picture of an animal due to her profession.

She ended up winning the jackpot in a game called “Sheep Thrills.”
