Weird BUT true

A time traveler has seen the future — and captured it on Polaroid.

Alexander Smith claimed on a program devoted to paranormal events that in 1981 he visited the year 2118 on a secret CIA mission.

Aliens visit global leaders and World War III leaves a more peaceful planet in its wake, Smith claims, while showing viewers “proof ” of his visit: a futuristic skyline on a blurry print photo.

A hotel in rural Vermont was evacuated this week when bear spray spread through its ventilation system.

A housekeeper accidentally discharged the spray, an irritant to both bears and humans, that can cause difficulty breathing.

Thirty people were evacuated, and three guests were sent to the hospital.

This coonhound is an earful.

Lou, a 3-year-old pooch from Oregon, boasts ears that measure 12.38 inches — long enough to earn a Guinness World Record.

“Everyone wants to touch the ears,” said Lou’s owner, Paige Olsen.

She began measuring his ears while sheltering during the pandemic shutdowns.

A man was reunited with his lost wedding ring — thanks to an assist from a squid on the Cayman Islands.

James Ross lost his wedding band while scuba diving with his wife. Some weeks later, Raquel Tobian was snorkeling when a squid stopped near a glittering band in the seafloor.

A gray-bearded Lutheran minister from Ontario, Canada, known for playing ol’ Saint Nick, is also one of the world’s strongest men.

Kevin Fast, 58, proved his strength by pulling a 33,400-pound city bus 16 feet this week on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” using only his upper body.

Guinness recognized it as the heaviest vehicle ever pulled in such a manner, breaking Fast’s own record by nearly 10,000 pounds.
