The clerk grabbed a huge sandwich-cutting blade and menaced the hoodlum, who realized he was outgunned — oops, we mean outknifed — and fled empty-handed.

A lot of people fantasize about winning win the lottery — but one astoundingly lucky Arizona resident did it six times in one drawing to snare $6 million.

The real-life “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” came a step closer this week when a belligerent chimp at a Swedish zoo was seen piling up “ammunition” to toss at humans.

The ever-clever simian had earlier grabbed and tossed pebbles one by one from around his enclosure.
