Weird BUT true

It’s a case of fowl ball. Canada geese invaded a baseball field during an MLB spring training game in Arizona over the weekend.

One goose took up a position in center field and refused to budge at a Cactus League game between the Chicago Cubs and the Arizona Diamondbacks in Scottsdale on Sunday. The game continued around him.

It was the breakfast of champions. An out-of-the-way stop for a bacon-and-egg biscuit led a North Carolina man to a $250,000 lottery jackpot. Kevin Vaughn purchased the ticket when he and a coworker stopped for breakfast after taking a wrong turn on the way to work. “It tasted pretty good,” Vaughn said. “It tasted a whole lot better when I was holding that ticket in my hand. A lucky biscuit.”

A New Zealand teen says he has broken the Guinness World Record for the longest time spent on a swing. Patrick Cooper, 17, spent 36 hours going back and forth on a park swing in the Hawke’s Bay region over the weekend. The old record was 32 hours and 2 minutes ,set by another New Zealander in 2013.

In more record-breaking news: A Canadian gym owner set a Guinness mark by performing 879 chest-toground burpees in one hour.

Nick Anapolsky, owner of Polsky’s Strength & Conditioning (PSC) fitness center in Ontario, set the record Saturday.

Anapolsky said, “The hour was full of ups and down literally but I got through it knowing I had my PSC family . . . cheering me on.”

How fitting.
