Weird BUT true

Move over, Columbus. An Indian man has declared himself the “king” of an unclaimed plot of land in North Africa.

Suyash Dixit dubbed Bir Tawil, the 800-square-mile disputed patch of land between Egypt and Sudan, the “Kingdom of Dixit.”

As a “life event” on his Facebook page, the young man wrote that he became “ruler of a country.”

A GoPro camera survived a molten lava bath — and lived to record the tale.

Erik Storm, a volcano tour guide, wedged his high-tech video camera into a crack on the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii — and couldn’t remove it before the device, engulfed by red-hot lava, burst into flames.

Although much of the camera melted, Storm, amazingly, retrieved and posted the GoPro footage, which has gone viral.

When all else fails, flip a coin.

A suburban Kansas City town resorted to a good old-fashioned coin toss to break an Election Day tie.

William Young won the toss and a council seat, representing Mission Woods, Kan., which has fewer than 200 residents.

An Arizona man says taking matters into his, uh, own hands unclogged his stuffy nose.

And experts on the talk show “The Doctors” said the man, who identified himself only as Skyler, could be right.

They said masturbating gets muscles around the body, including in the nose, to contract, which can temporarily relieve sinus pressure.

A modern-day Goldilocks broke into a Massachusetts home — but instead of eating some porridge, helped himself to some wine and passed out.

The alleged burglar, Vaughn Buckley, 45, used a brick to break a window of the Framingham home where he was found Monday asleep in a child’s bed, police said.
