Mamma Mia!

A suspected mobster was busted by Italian police after he surfaced to visit his mom’s home for lunch.

Rosario Scognamillo, a 39-year-old accused of being a high-ranking member of the Mafia, went on the lam in May.

But he returned to his mother’s home in Naples, unable to resist the temptations of her home-cooked food.

Now he’ll have to get used to jail food.

For a while, he was one of the few, one of the proud.

But now Jarhead the bear is adjusting to civilian life in the woods around Ocala, Fla.

The 6-month-old cub was rummaging through garbage when he got his head stuck in a jar.

It took rescuers 10 days to catch him so they could remove it.

He used it on a trip to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass.

Homer sent him more than two miles off course — to the city of Peabody.

Getting a bill always stinks, but these have to be the worst.

The gas company in Puget Sound, Wash., sent scratch-and-sniff pamphlets to customers along with their bills.

Anyone who scratched got a whiff of something like rotten eggs.

The utility said it wanted to make sure its customers can sniff out natural-gas leaks.

English teachers driving along this North Carolina road must have had a fit.

A contractor hired to paint the world “school” in giant letters across the two-lane road in Greensboro spelled it “shcool.”

They got it right on the second try.
