Visitors to a Maine soup kitchen enjoyed a luxurious meal this week courtesy of a local lobsterman.

Angler Ros Alex and his crew mistakenly netted a 600-pound tuna while fishing for lobster bait. His boat, the Kathryn Ann, is not licensed to catch bluefin tuna, but the giant fish was too entangled to save.

Ross donated the fresh tuna to Belfast Soup Kitchen, where it provided 350 meals.

Skippy the Tasmanian kangaroo escaped his keepers from the Circus Alessio this week and is believed to be hopping through the foreboding forest that inspired tales such as “Hansel & Gretel.”

A Lithuanian kicked the bottle but replaced it with an even more troubling habit: swallowing hardware.

God handed the Ten Commandmen­ts down to Moses — in Saudi Arabia.

The Arabian peninsula, however, offers “incredibly compelling evidence matching the Biblical account,” said biblical scholar Ray Mauro.

Papua New Guinea, one of the poorest nations on Earth, is unloading a fleet of luxury cars at a steep loss.

The government in 2018 acquired 50 Maseratis for $5.6 million to impress global leaders before the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperatio­n conference, under the belief they would sell like hotcakes afterward. They have not.
