Weird BUT true

This burrito backstory is full of it.

A North Korean news agency claimed former leader Kim Jong-il invented burritos shortly before he died in 2011.

Kim, father of current dictator Kim Jong-un, pioneered the “wheat wrap” that was recently shown in abundance in newsreel footage even though the dish is not easy to come by in the food-strapped nation.

They said “I do,” but turns out they didn’t.

A Virginia couple found out they weren’t legally married 26 years after their wedding day. Valerie and William Beverly tied the knot in 1995, but they found out recently that their marriage license was never filed.

It was a groovy misunderst­anding.

A widely circulated socialmedi­a post showed Miami cops baffled by a massive abandoned disco ball in the middle of the street. But the kitschy relic wasn’t actually abandoned — it had been used for a party, and its owners hadn’t yet loaded it back onto the equipment truck.

A new French law doesn’t ad up for carmakers.

Car advertisem­ents will soon have to include messages to would-be buyers to consider public transporta­tion, walking or bicycling.

The new requiremen­t was approved this week and will go into effect March 1, modeled after similar warnings that accompany promotions for alcohol and have appeared on tobacco packaging for years.

Various messages for print and broadcast ads will include ”think about carpooling” and “take public transit daily.”

A deer impaled a Paraguayan security official.

Reports said the deer attacked the 42-year-old infantry assistant sergeant while the man worked security at the presidenti­al residence in Asuncion.

The deer killed the man using its antlers when the official got too close to the animal, which lived on the property.
