Weird BUT true

You make my heart beep faster.

An artificial intelligence expert programmed a robot to “flirt” — generating its own unique lines such as, “You look like a thing, and I love you,” and, “You look good today. Want snacks?”

Janelle Shane, of Denver, said she taught the bot to come up with dozens of phrases based on formulas from the Internet and texts.

The pointy-capped dwarf statues are often made in China and shipped via the waterway to Europe, according to gardening companies.

It’s been hard to find the good luck symbols for weeks, in part because the pandemic has boosted interest in gardening and in part because of the now-unblocked canal.

Next stop, jail. A straphanger awoke after passing out on a city bus in Canada, jumped behind the wheel and stole the massive ride, according to cops who arrested her.

Neighbors have a beef with these intruders.

Four cows on the lam wreaked havoc on a Florida neighborhood this week — tromping on sprinklers and setting off car alarms.

Cops in Jacksonville worked with owners to finally get the cattle to moo-ve.

This dog has nine lives. An adorable pooch fell 200 feet off a cliff in Arizona — and lived to bark the tale.

Simba, a golden doodle, accidentally leaped off Oak Creek Canyon in Dewey while camping with his owners last month.

The lucky dog was rushed to a vet, underwent surgery and is recovering with injuries to his right leg.
