WEIRD BUT TRUE
Weekend duffer Dave Vonderau has never hit a hole in one, but his 8-year-old son has.
Not once, but twice.
Little Harrison Vonderau used a pitching wedge for the first ace and a 9-iron for the second during a father-son tourney on a par-29 golf course in Cleveland.
It’s probably the only time dad didn’t mind that his son isn’t a chip off the old block.

This cabby in Berlin, Germany worked for his tip – and then gave cops one.
Seems he was flagged down by two Albanian men who wanted help transporting $13,000 in stolen computers and flat-screen TVs.
He obliged by helping them load the bulky boxes into his taxi and driving them to an apartment across town.
After collecting his fare and a generous tip, he called police, who raided the apartment and busted the dopey duo.

An Australian rage-aholic was arrested for beating up a 79-year-old great-grandmother when she refused to give up her parking space in a Brisbane shopping center.
Police say an enraged Robert Kenyon, 54, shoved the elderly woman from behind, knocking her to the ground face-first.
She suffered a broken nose and two cracked ribs.
Kenyon’s lawyer said his client was “deeply sorry.”
Moral of the story: Curb your anger when you can’t park your car.

The Sunni Muslim residents of Stepnoi in eastern Kazakhstan believe they’re witnessing a miracle.
They report that a chicken in their remote village has laid an egg with the word “Allah” inscribed on its shell in Arabic.
“Our mosque confirmed it,” said a local farmer. “We’ll keep this egg and we don’t think it’ll go bad.”
