Weird BUT true

Holy smokes. A Jeep ran off I385 near Memphis, Tenn., and cops pulled out the trapped driver moments before his ride exploded.

The vehicle was destroyed — but a Bible in the passenger seat was completely undamaged.

Here’s good work if you can get it.

A maintenanc­e foreman with the Boston subway system selfapprov­ed massive overtime for himself — boosting his base pay from $84,822 to $327,636 last year, an audit revealed.

Transit officials admitted a weakness in the accounting system that allows workers to selfapprov­e OT.

A transgende­r woman in Sparta, Mich., will get double the name recognitio­n in the race for town supervisor.

Candidates who have changed their names within the past 10 years for a reason other than marriage have to disclose the swap on the ballot, so Gidget Groendy will have a notation saying she was “formerly Scott Wade Langford.”

Not much rest and relaxation here.

The Embassy Suites Hotel near Los Angeles Internatio­nal Airport was evacuated for several hours after someone used butane lighters to extract THC from marijuana.

THC is much more valuable when separated from the plant — but the process caused fumes so strong, that cops had to clear out the hotel.

All this monkey business has finally been sorted out.

An appeals court on Tuesday cleared a London Zoo meerkat expert after she was initially convicted of “reckless assault” against a monkey handler — all part of a love triangle also involving the zoo’s llama keeper.

Caroline Westlake had been convicted of striking Kate Sanders with a wine glass because they both dated Adam Davies, the llama guy.

But the appeals court said the trial court applied the wrong legal test for recklessne­ss, so the conviction was tossed.
