Weird true BUT

- Jorge Fitz-Gibbon, Wires

Sunday was hump day! A runaway camel kept cops in Bonner Springs, Kan., on the run for most of Sunday after being spotted loose on a local golf course — forcing police to commandeer a golf cart for part of the chase.

Unfortunat­ely for the cops, the dromedary, which escaped from a nearby live Nativity scene, is able to gallop at speeds of up to 40 mph — and it took a few hours before he could be lassoed.

It wasn’t a bunch of hot air. A massive 11-foot, 7-inch costume of comic-book superhero the Hulk reached new heights this weekend — with a nod from Guinness World Records.

The towering green get-up was dubbed the largest costume ever made entirely of balloons at this year’s Liverpool Comic-Con.

Costume creator Tom Kent of London scored the prize by beating his own 2017 record for an 8-foot-7 Pikachu balloon outfit.

This gives new meaning to the term “stray cat.”

A Texas feline known as Monkey Face was missing for six years before being returned to his family by San Antonio Animal Care Services.

The kitty’s family called the unexpected reunion “priceless.”

San Francisco officials want a competitiv­e edge — over drug dealers.

Lawmakers in the Golden City have approved an ordinance suspending its Cannabis Business Tax to give legal cannabis distributo­rs a leg up over illegal drug peddlers, who are giving them a run for their money.

The tax suspension is good through the end of 2022.

Cheersssss­s. Animal rescuers in India had to come to the aid of a boozy cobra after the slithering reptile somehow got his head caught in a beer can.

Workers in a village in Odashi’s Puri district finally freed the 4-foot cobra using a pair of scissors to gingerly cut the snake loose.

The snake suffered only minor injuries.
