NEWS OF THE WEIRD Whale of a discovery
On Feb. 23, Siriporn Niamrin, 49, foujnd a large, waxy, ovalshaped lump that smelled of fish and weighed about 15 pounds along the beach near her home in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, Thailand, and was excited to learn it may be a rare substance called ambergris, or vomit produced by sperm whales.
The Mirror reported ambergris is highly prized in making perfume and might be worth as much as $260,000.
“If I really have the genuine ambergris, I can help my community once I find a buyer for it,” Niamrin said. “I’m keeping it safe in my house” as she waits for confirmation of its authenticity.
Theft was dangerously cheesy
Sharon Carr of Tulsa, Okla., was arrested by officers responding to a residential burglary call on Feb. 26 when she stepped from the shadows in front of the victim’s house.
Investigators found a screen removed and a window open, where they allege Carr entered the home but quickly left, leaving behind an empty Cheetos bag and a water bottle. Cheetos residue on Carr’s teeth linked her to the crime, reported KTUL-TV, along with testimony from the victim. Carr was charged with first-degree burglary.
Diplomatic ingenuity
Diplomats and their families from the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang, North Korea, worked around Covid-induced travel restrictions by pushing themselves across the border in a rail trolley to reach their home country Feb. 25, the BBC reported.
The group of eight, including children, traveled 32 hours by train and two hours by bus to reach the Russian border, but trains and wagons cannot enter or leave North Korea, so the embassy’s third secretary, Vladislav Sorokin, completed the last half-mile of the journey by pushing the trolley filled with the group and their baggage on train tracks over the Tumen River, where they were met by Russian officials at the border station.
Because Billy’s worth it
Natasha Harris of Lillian, Ala., called the Baldwin County Sheriff ’s office Feb. 28 after her granddaughter’s goat, Billy the Kid, returned from one of his adventures around the rural neighborhood painted head to toe.
Harris told Fox 10 News she suspected teens had stolen and abused the goat, but investigators followed the goat’s trail to Erica Farmer, who was visiting relatives nearby, and arrested her for theft of property and animal cruelty.
Farmer has apologized for dying the goat with colored shampoo and food coloring, and Harris now wants the charges dropped.
Dangerous sea change
Jackson Perry and Noah Palmer of Mandurah, Western Australia, planned a leisurely float offshore, drinking beer on a blowup air mattress Feb. 27, but they wound up stranded in the Indian Ocean for nearly three hours after the wind blew them out to sea.
“We couldn’t paddle against the wind, and we just kept going further and further out,” Perry told 7News, but they did manage to call a friend, who reached them on his jet ski just before their cellphones died.
“We were kind of getting worried at that point,” Perry said, but the beers helped with the anxiety.
Honk if you’re dumbfounded
Police in Hertfordshire, England, received about 100 complaints over a three-day period from people parked at a Tesco store in Royston who reported their car alarms inexplicably went off, and they couldn’t use their key fobs to lock or unlock their vehicles.
Communications watchdog company Ofcom told the BBC it checked the area for interference, but found nothing. No cars have been reported stolen, and police said they were not treating the incidents as malicious.
