Weird BUT true

-

Didn’t you read the signs? Operators of a $6,000 drone in Alaska were showing it off when it was attacked and destroyed in midair by an eagle.

Such attacks are not that uncommon in Unalaska, a small community in the Aleutian Islands, where there are signs all over town warning of swooping eagles. Uber really delivers. A woman in the Sherman Oaks neighborho­od of Los Angeles went into labor and called an Uber to get to the hospital, officials said.

The impatient baby couldn’t wait and “prior to LAFD arrival, the driver of a rideshare vehicle was primary assist for the successful delivery of a newborn in the vehicle,” a statement by LA firefighte­rs said.

Mom and baby are OK.

A Michigan woman said she hassled her fiancé to buy a lottery ticket, finally getting him to pony up for what turned out to be a $500,000 pay day.

Melissa Cramer, 46, texted her partner, but “he wrote me back and said he wasn’t going to because I always lose when he buys tickets for me,” she said.

But he relented and purchased a Lucky Streak scratch-off ticket that won.

A San Francisco man, lighting illegal fireworks, was wounded — although not by his explosives.

Instead, the 27-year-old man was shot in the leg on Saturday after a fight broke out, officials said.

No arrests were immediatel­y made.

His excuse didn’t smell right, and yet. . .

Deputies pulled over a Florida motorist for expired tags, and smelled marijuana. The man insisted his gloves just smelled like pot.

And Anthony Macias, 33, might have been right when he told Monroe County sheriff ’s deputies that his gloves “have a similar smell to marijuana,” according to the arrest report, because no pot was found in his car.

But deputies did discover 16 grams of cocaine in the Ford E259 truck, officials said.
