A seventh-grader’s science project has stomachs turning in Tampa, Fla.

Jasmine Roberts, 12, visited some local fast-food restaurants and checked for bacteria in water from their toilet bowls and in the ice used in their drinks.

Her chilling discovery: 70 percent of the time, the ice had more bacteria than the toilet water.

A school bus driver in Milwaukee left his empty bus running while he went to throw out some trash – and returned to find it pulling away from the school and merging into traffic.

He watched as it smashed into a parked car, a tree and a streetlight before slamming into the schoolyard fence and coming to a halt.

Then he saw the bus-jacker – a bored 5-year-old who had slipped out of his kindergarten class to take a spin.

The youngster wasn’t hurt; the driver was suspended.

A man found lying on the side of an isolated road gushing blood and screaming in pain told police that thugs had dragged him from his van, hacked off his legs with a chainsaw and set his vehicle on fire.

But cops in Shilton, England, didn’t believe him.

“It looks as if he did it to himself,” said a police official. “The pain must have been horrific. God knows what possessed him.”

A forger was nabbed in Nicosia, Cyprus – because he couldn’t spell.

Officials said the Pakistani national made two mistakes on his otherwise flawlessly counterfeited Afghan passport. Ministry was spelled “menistry,” and government was spelled “goverment.”

This fellow really needed some Gator-Aid.

Moscow resident Anton Skvortsov usually slips food through the bars of his pet alligator’s cage at feeding time.

But after a few drinks with friends, the Russian man decided to show off – so he opened the cage and held out some sausages.

The gator bit the hand that feeds him and wouldn’t let go. Skvortsov’s buddies beat the ravenous reptile to get it to release his hand.
