Rob and Grace Jones wanted to replace a built-in toilet paper holder in their home in Crystal Lake, Ill., on April 16, which required them to cut into the wall of their bathroom, NBC New York reported. That's when they came across a most unusual find: two McDonald's hamburger wrappers and a full order of fries, vintage 1959. "We were expecting the worst," Grace said. "I was shielding my kids in case there was any dried blood." More like dried ketchup. "Not a cold case, just some cold fries," she said. "They were very well preserved." Must not be many mice in Crystal Lake.

Diagnosis was dead wrong

During a funeral in Lambayeque, Peru, on April 26, pallbearers were stunned to hear knocking coming from within the coffin of Rosa Isabel Cespedes Callaca as they carried it, Metro News reported. They opened the lid to find that Callaca was weak, but alive, following a serious car accident. Her family members suspect she might have been in a coma following the accident. Police are investigating the incident.

This is for the birds

Gary and Patti Reitemeyer returned to their home in Redding, Calif., on April 22 to a most unwelcome surprise: hundreds of swallows that had apparently entered their home through the chimney, KRCR-TV reported. A neighbor had noticed a few birds earlier, but the numbers had increased dramatically by the time the couple got home. "We open the door and it's like an Alfred Hitchcock movie," Gary said. "It was crazy. We were ducking and dodging." The house was deemed uninhabitable, and everything had to be removed. "All of the furniture is gone, all of the carpet is gone, the blinds are gone," Gary said. On top of it all, their homeowner's insurance won't cover the damage from the bizarre incident.

Can I have this dance?

Police who arrested Amy Ann Harrington, 38, after she rear-ended a car on April 28 in Madeira Beach, Fla., suspected she was driving under the influence, so they attempted to do field sobriety tests with her, the Smoking Gun reported. They asked her to do a one-leg stand and walk and turn, but instead, Harrington broke into "multiple ballet and Irish folk dance moves," according to the arrest report. Harrington also refused to take a breath test; she was charged with DUI and booked into the county jail.

Drink up

Harry Matadeen, 34, from Hampshire, England, has a wellness tip to share with the world: He drinks his own urine. And what's more, he rubs it on his face. Metro News reported that Matadeen claims his habit, begun in 2016, keeps him looking young and has cured his depression. "I felt a new sense of peace, calm and determination," he said. The skin therapy keeps his face "young, soft and glowing." Matadeen calls urine an "acquired taste," but says that "fresh urine is never as bad as you imagine — it is neutral-smelling and not a bad taste unless you are really toxic." His family doesn't approve, and his sister has stopped talking to him.
