He’s really high on water skiing.

Minnesota resident Chris Dens recently unofficial­ly broke a world record when he went water skiing on a lake wearing 11-foot-high stilts.

Dens, 30, of Brainerd, attempted the feat after viewing a video of current recordhold­er Glenn Sperry water skiing on 10.5-foot stilts.

Quit horsing around. Two horses were corralled by Irish police after they were spotted wandering Dublin over the weekend.

The Garda Síochána Dublin force said in a Facebook post that the animals were believed to have been left unattended on the Royal Canal in Drumcondra. Both were seized, and one horse — much smaller than its companion — “is very unwell and is now receiving treatment,” police said.

A rare yellow turtle was rescued by wildlife officials in eastern India on Sunday.

The reptile was initially discovered by residents in the Sujanpur village in Balasore, who alerted the Indian Forest Service.

Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda tweeted a video of the unusual animal and speculated that it is “most probably” an “albino.”

Police in Italy found cocaine stuffed inside hollowedou­t coffee beans after they opened a package addressed to a fictional Mafia boss in the “John Wick” film franchise.

Customs officers at Milan’s Malpensa Airport opened the package from Colombia after they saw it was addressed to “Santino D’Antonio.”

Inside, 130 grams of cocaine were stuffed into more than 500 hollow-out coffee beans, according to authoritie­s.

Cops arrested a 50-year-old man who tried to claim the package in Florence.

Guinness World Record extraordin­aire David Rush did it again, scoring the most center-target hits with chopsticks in one minute.

The Idaho man, who has more than 150 world records under his belt, accurately hurled 19 chopsticks at an archery target to beat the previous achievemen­t of 14.
