Weird BUT true

-

Just in time for Christmas — an apartment you can decorate with “missile-toe.’’

A Cold War-era missile silo is being offered by Airbnb as an ideal place to spend the holidays.

The relic, in Eskridge, Kan., is occupied by Ed and Dianna Peden, who have lived there since 1994.

They’re willing to move while the “cozy” home they’ve dubbed the Subterra Castle is being rented out to guests.

Track-and-field Olympic champion Greg Rutherford said his 3-year-old son, Milo, is so spooked by mysterious noises coming from their Buckingham­shire, England, neighbor’s apartment, the youngster thinks they’re being made by ghosts.

The early-morning sounds, his parents discovered, were actually made by a couple in the throes of passion. The parents wrote a nice note asking the loud lovebirds to keep it down.

It’s a whale of a painting. A museum in New Bedford, Mass., restored an 1848 quarter-mile-long artwork depicting a whaling voyage around the world.

Now it’s looking for a venue to display what it calls the world’s longest painting.

All of the officers in the Gulf Shore, Ala., police department have to participat­e in physical training.

That includes Nitro the 2-year-old police dog, who joined the force in February.

The department posted a video of Nitro and two human officers doing pushups to the 1982 “Rocky III’’ theme, “Eye of the Tiger.’’

A teddy bear was accidental­ly left behind at the airport when its family flew from Edinburgh to Orkney in Scotland.

After learning its owner, a 4-year-old girl, was heartbroke­n, Loganair flew the bear home for free. The airline even posted a photo of it wearing a seat-belt during its flight.

“Loganair prides itself on bringing everyone, including Teddy, home for Christmas,” said Kay Ryan, Loganair’s commercial director. Wires
