New York is still the Big Apple, but we’re no longer the top dog.

A Vancouver, Canada, restaurant is now selling what it claims is the world’s most expensive hot dog.

The former title holder goes for $69 at Manhattan’s Serendipity 3 restaurant.

A Massachusetts woman bought $64 worth of soda at a Lynn supermarket with a stolen food-stamp card.

Then she went straight to the automatic redemption machine and fed it 216 cans — without bothering to empty them.

The paper clip has long been considered one of the world’s simplest but most useful inventions.

Now, a Massachusetts dentist had been busted for finding a brand-new — and very bizarre — use for it.

Dorothea Murphy saw the huge animal attacking her 82-year-old husband near Anchorage, Alaska, and sprang into action.

The 5-foot-tall woman, who weighs 97 pounds, bashed it on the head with a shovel — and it took off.

A judge in Crown Point, Ind., ordered a man to stand in front of the local courthouse for two days wearing a sign proclaiming, “I failed to appear for jury duty.’’

The 22-year-old potential juror told the judge he wasn’t thinking when he cut out without permission after a lunch break.
