Weird true BUT

Whoa, Christmas tree! A West Palm Beach, Fla., woman found an unwelcome guest hiding in her indoor holiday tree — a raccoon.

Awakened at 4:15 a.m. Thursday by her growling dog, Aubrey Iacobelli watched the pooch knock over the tree to get at the critter that had entered through a dog door, she said.

A cellphone video shows the raccoon hanging from a chandelier for 30 minutes before Iacobelli chases it out with a broom.

Call her the Burpee Queen. Alison Brown, 38, an Ontario, Canada, personal trainer and mother of three boys, did 730 burpees — push-ups followed by a jump in the air then more pushups — in an hour, setting a new Guinness World Record.

“You just got to keep getting back up,” Brown said.

This is no tall tale.

A giraffe charged at an open-air truck full of tourists on an African safari.

The animal can be seen on video chasing the truck for nearly two minutes through the Masai Mara Game Reserve in Narok, Kenya, until the driver is able to get the group safely away.

To battle her Public Enemy No. 1, a Canadian used a little No. 2.

Laurie Pringle of Ontario said she was fed up with porch pirates stealing her Amazon packages.

So to get back at the thieves, she left a box of cat poop, wrapped in a delivery box, on her porch.

And, sure enough, it was swiped 40 minutes later.

Ol’ Saint Nick wasn’t feeling so jolly when Northern Irish cops pulled him over Monday.

Robert McClenaghan, dressed like Santa Claus and driving a horse-drawn sleigh to deliver presents to neighborhood kids, was stopped in West Belfast for not having a white light on the front of his sleigh and red one on the back.

“I thought it was a bit like the Grinch, to be honest,” McClenaghan said.
