Weird but true
Who says sickly senior citizens can’t do challenging work — like robbing banks?

He carried a black bag that contained an oxygen tank linked to a plastic breathing tube connected to his nose.

A 7-year-old learning how to swim at the local pool is nothing new — unless it’s an 800-pound grizzly bear.
Brutus the bear slapped the water a few times and then gingerly backed into the pool in East Helena, Mont.
Casey Anderson was teaching Brutus, who was born in captivity, how to swim and catch fish for a National Geographic special, “Expedition Kodiak.”

A Florida teen nearly went to jail — for spraying her hair.
Elyse Tirico had been ordered to wear an alcohol-monitoring device pending her DUI trial. It went off — but the manufacturer of the device told a judge in DeFuniak Springs that her hairspray could have caused her to blow a .02 blood-alcohol level.

Speaking of DUIs, an Oregon cop got two for the price of one.
The officer stopped a 59-year-old woman on a Salem road. As he was testing her, her 66-year-old boyfriend stopped his car to see what was going on. The officer suspected he, too, was drunk. Both were busted.
