LIKE WEEKLY HOROSCOPE NEWS OF THE WEIRD by the Editors at Andrews McMeel Syndication Least Competent Criminals Two arsonists were in the hot seat after they set fire to a Bakersfield, California, immigration services building, Fox News reported. Footage from a security camera captured the masked individuals as they spread gasoline around the building's base. When one bent to light the fire, the flames spread to both people's clothes, causing them to run away screaming. Aeronautical News Passengers aboard a charter flight from the Siberian city of Magan, Russia (where it was 41 degrees below zero), had to brave even more extreme temperatures when the rear door of the plane flew open in midflight, the New York Post reported. "People had their hats blown off," said Sergei Lidrik, a passenger. One man had just unfastened his seatbelt and he was nearly sucked out, along with luggage and other personal belongings. The plane, an Antonov An-26, was manufactured between 1970 and 1986. The pilot turned back to Magan and made an emergency landing. There were no injuries. Mistaken Identity A walker out for a stroll in Wickham, Australia, came across what they thought was a dead body clothed in a tracksuit, according to ABC News.

Dale Harmer voiced his frustration: "It has caused police to use an entire day and three police officers guarding a scene for something which was never a human in the first place." And what a waste of a perfectly fine tracksuit. Duuuuuude For the third year in a row, the county in Oregon reporting the highest rate of cannabis sales was Malheur County — which shares a state border with Idaho and is close to Boise. KGW-TV reported that although sales were down in 2022, they still topped out at $104 million, or $3,243 per county resident. Cannabis sales — medical or recreational — are illegal in Idaho, which creates a boon for the Oregon dispensaries along the border.
