Weird BUT true

Why did the chickens cross the road? To get a Big Mac, apparently. A furious flock of hens “wreaked havoc” at a McDonald’s drive-thru in New Jersey — attacking customers and forcing cops to rush to the rescue, according to police.

The bloodthirs­ty birds ran a “fowl” of the law — chasing, pecking and “harassing” customers in Washington Township — Tuesday, prompting one witness to call 911. The chickens were wrangled and put up for adoption.

She’ll take thee as a plan B! A bride in India who got ditched last-minute at the altar married a wedding guest on the spot instead.

After the groom allegedly bolted to deal with his suicidal girlfriend, the bride, Sindhu, burst into tears at the ceremony in the Chikkamaga­luru district.

A family friend, who works in transit, offered to tie the knot, and she accepted.

Trouble wasn’t actually “a foot.” A Canadian cop hustled to a roadway where a severed foot had reportedly been dumped — only to learn the tootsies belonged to a mannequin.

The officer, in British Columbia, said he was flagged down by a spooked driver, who reported the plastic paw.

An Australian man stuck in a ditch with no phone service strapped his cell to a drone and used it to call for help. The unidentifi­ed man, who became trapped amid a storm with his family, typed in the text “SOS” to an emergency service line, then flew the gadget until the phone was in service range.

The group was rescued the same day.

That’s one cold scam. A Japanese man allegedly doctored Popsicle sticks to win a contest held by an ice cream company in a bid to get rare Pokémon cards.

Takashi Ono, 43, allegedly “forged” up to 25 sticks with the words “You win a GariPokémo­n card,” authoritie­s said. But police caught on to him after the company, Akagi Nyugyo, reported the prize had been claimed multiple times by the same person.
