Weird BUT true

The ticket may have looked fishy — but it was perfectly valid.

A woman who showed up at Boston’s New England Aquarium was allowed to enter for free using a ticket that was issued in 1983.

Rachel Carle, 26, said her now-85-year-old great-aunt had given her two tickets that had been sitting in the older woman’s wallet for nearly four decades.

Staff at the aquarium “took a look at the ticket, laughed, and said, ‘Well, it says come back any time. There’s no expiration date!’ ” Carle said.

This case stinks. Members of a village in India have filed a formal complaint with cops — over more than 1,760 pounds of missing cow dung.

The theft of the compost material, valued at around $22, occurred in Korba in the central state of Chhattisga­rh.

A Nebraska man decided to raise awareness for mental illness and suicide — by skydiving naked out of a plane 60 times.

“Once my parachute inflated on jump number 60 . . . looking at the sky and the view, thinking about my friends that weren’t there, and why I was . . . I was slightly emotional,” said motivation­al speaker Rian Kanouff.

It’s a wake-up call for scofflaws.

Officials in the seaside town of Bournemout­h in southern England have hired workers to patrol their sands to rouse campers trying to sleep there overnight, the BBC reported.

“Anyone thinking of camping on the beach can expect an uncomforta­ble night’s sleep,” the town warned.

Here’s to a beer for Bowser. An Italian beverage-maker says it is set to sell the country’s first suds for dogs.

The non-alcoholic brew, named Pawse, was tested on pooches belonging to the family of maker Da Pian.

“They really liked it. As soon as we pick up the can, they start wagging their tails,’’ said exec Raffaella Da Pian.
