Weird BUT true

-

It’s a dog-eat-teddy bear world out there.

When a St. Bernard named Maisy, who lives in West Yorkshire, England, developed troubling symptoms, her owner, Jane Dickenson, took her to a veterinari­an.

A CT scan showed suspicious stomach masses and the vet feared the worst.

But the “masses,’’ it turned out, were the remains of four toy bears she had snacked on.

“Managing to devour four teddy bears is quite a feat,’’ said the vet. Maisy is fine and is back on dog food.

Speaking of dogs: Police in Ontario, Canada, were called to keep a man from barking and howling in front of his neighbor’s door in the middle of the night.

Cops say the “barker’’ was trying to give the neighbor a taste of his own medicine, because the neighbor’s dogs howled at all hours. Both men were given warnings to follow local noise laws.

And speaking of noise: New bus stations are being built in Wellington, New Zealand, one of them close to a hospital where surgeons were performing a delicate operation.

They had to stop the surgery because they were using a microscope sensitive to the vibrations made by the workers’ tools.

The builders shut down the project until the surgeons successful­ly concluded the operation.

A Chinese teenager set a new Guinness World Record by solving three Rubik’s Cubes at once — in 1 minute and 36.39 seconds.

Que Jianyu did two of them with his hands, and the third with his feet.

Then he suspended himself from a bar and, while hanging upside down, did a fourth cube in 15.84 seconds.

They’re in deep s--t now. Cops in Germany busted two men who allegedly stole more than 100 portable toilets — from the waste-disposal firm where they worked.
