Weird BUT true

A fugitive steer on the run since early February was finally caught Friday.

The runaway was headed for a slaughterhouse in Johnston, RI, when it slipped away. As it wandered the town’s neighborhoods for 48 days, it became something of a celebrity.

It has been taken back to the slaughterhouse.

The rent is so damn high in the San Francisco area, some people resorted to living in a cave.

Construction workers rebuilding a bridge in the Bay Area city of Vallejo heard voices — and discovered two people living in a cave dug into an embankment.

The 20-foot-long, 3-foothigh cave contained sleeping bags, backpacks, clothing and other items.

Last week’s rains drew so many worms to a Hoboken sidewalk, one councilwoman saw a “worm tornado.”

Tiffanie Fisher tweeted a photo of a thick swirl of worms on the sidewalk, asking if anyone had ever seen such a formation.

Later in the day, she tweeted, “I’ve learned today that apparently earthworm herding is a thing.”

NASA has given Earth the all clear for the next century concerning a particularly menacing asteroid.

New telescope observations have ruled out any chance of Apophis smacking Earth in 2068, the space agency said.

The 1,100-foot space rock was also supposed to come frighteningly close in 2029 and in 2036.

Mother Goose has a head that’s loose.

Townspeople in Hazard, Ky., are raising money to save a beloved local landmark: a Mother Goose neck and head above a domed building which has been there for 80 years.

The pièce de résistance at the so-called Mother Goose house was shifted off its foundation by strong winds last week and then blew over on Wednesday. A GoFundMe page had raised more than $7,200 as of Saturday afternoon.
