WEIRD BUT TRUE
It was almost a revenge killing.
A Nebraska teen narrowly avoided death when he fell while climbing through a window at his grandmother’s house and impaled himself on deer antlers the family kept as a trophy.
Todd Reynolds is expected to recover.
“He’s got a hole about this big in his back,” said his grandmother, Jeanne Reynolds.
The antlers came within an eighth of an inch of hitting Todd’s spine.
“I freaked,” Jeane said. “I lost it.”

Here’s a guy who was having a very bad day.
Robert Evans, of Boulder, Colo., was riding his bike when a car and then a train struck him in separate incidents six hours apart.
He wasn’t badly hurt but, adding insult to injury, he was given a trespassing ticket for crossing a railroad bridge closed to pedestrians.

In another case of kicking a man while he’s down, an Idaho man was slapped with a jaywalking ticket after getting hit by a truck.
Ebrahim Balah, 62, was not seriously hurt, but was cited for crossing a Boise street outside of the crosswalk.

For this couple, the “death do us part” bit may not be too far off.
Two English fast-food addicts passed on a wedding cake after their nuptials and went with a 42-pound cheeseburger.
“Not only did I get to marry the woman of my dreams, but I also got to have the burger of my dreams,” said hubby Tom Watts.

Who knew there was such a thing as a one-armed hole-in-one?
Phil Bell nailed the 184-yard drive with his “backhand swipe” at an English golf course.
Bell lost his right arm in a car crash several years ago, but never gave up his love of the sport.
