WEIRD BUT TRUE
A 44-year-old woman is reportedly the first to use the Internet while fast asleep – to invite friends over for drinks and caviar.
The sleep-typist had no idea what she’d done until pals called her the next day to accept her invitation, University of Toledo researchers report in the journal Sleep Medicine.

But does she change them every 3,000 miles?
An Indiana woman was having engine trouble, so she popped open the hood of her car – and found thousands of walnuts tucked inside.
Hope Wideup, of Demotte, suspects the culprit was a chipmunk.

A willowy ghost is haunting an old Romanian hotel.
Decked out in a long, white dress, the tall apparition has been photographed and her form printed in the local media.
The 150-year-old hotel is said to house a hidden treasure – which the ghost is protecting.
One teen said he became a believer when he sneaked in with friends one night, and “all of a sudden, we felt cold air, and we saw a white silhouette close to us.”

Chinese archeologists say they found a tiny Swiss watch buried in a 400-year-old tomb.
Workers near Shangsi said a piece of rock fell off the side of the coffin and hit the ground “with a metallic sound.” After wiping off the soil, they discovered the timepiece, with “Swiss” engraved on the back.
Experts are at a loss, because the tomb had been undisturbed since the Ming Dynasty.

A Chinese man discovered the dog he had raised since it was a puppy was actually a rare Arctic fox.
The guy figured his all-white pooch was a Pomeranian that happened to be difficult to tame.
He also thought it was weird that the critter couldn’t bark, that its tail kept growing – and that it stank something fierce.
A zoo broke the news.
