Not "fake news" a la Trump but actual news which is decidedly odd and makes me smile {I have a bitter and twisted sense of humour}. Add your own examples.

* In the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh the Minister for Happiness is on the run from police accused of murder.

* Severn Trent Water has said that the repair of their burst water pipeline has been delayed due to the vicinity being flooded {by water from the pipe}.
