Weird BUT true

- Tamar Lapin, Wires

That’s a lot of dough. Fans are shelling out thousands of dollars for Pokemon-themed Oreos.

The limited-edition snacks, which feature characters from the classic animated series, have sold for as much as $1,200 online.

Listings on eBay for treats with the extremely rare Pokemon Mew have prices ranging everywhere from $50 to $10,000 and even $100,000. Some appear to have sold for more than $15,000.

They got a “reel” surprise. A group of girls using magnets to fish in a Pennsylvan­ia river ended up pulling out a hand grenade.

The device, which turned out to be a replica, prompted cops to evacuate part of the New Castle neighborho­od as a precaution.

This tale was too wild to be true.

A Michigan couple was arrested after allegedly making up a story about an exotic bird theft.

The pair told police that a man broke into their home to steal the $2,500 parrot last month.

But investigat­ors said the man accused by the couple hadn’t committed any fowl play — and was actually the bird’s real owner.

An actor at an Ohio haunted house gave a kid the fright of his life — when he accidental­ly stabbed the boy in the foot.

The worker at the 7 Floors of Hell attraction at the Cuyahoga County Fairground­s had meant to hit the ground near the 11-year-old boy’s foot with a bowie knife, according to local reports

The blade ended up going through the child’s Crocstyle shoe, leaving him with a cut on his left toe.

This tortoise left travelers hare-ried.

Flights at a Tokyo airport got delayed this week after an approximat­ely 1-foot tortoise was spotted wandering on the tarmac by a pilot.

The slow-poke reptile caused at least five flights at the Narita Internatio­nal Airport to be delayed for about 15 minutes.
