That’s one way to make your college applicatio­n stand out.

A prospectiv­e Texas A&M student decorated an admission letter out with a string of lights — but the wires sparked a bomb scare on campus, police said.

Cops used a robotic device to remove the battery operated lights from an oncampus building, which was evacuated for two hours.

Portland, Ore., residents thought they were dreaming when they spotted a man on a horse clutching a light saber — but neigh!

Joshua Dallman, 36, said it’s simply a fun hobby to trot around the city at night with a custom-made light saber, according to reports.

The coroner was dead wrong. A man pronounced dead after a motorcycle crash was found alive in a morgue fridge in South Africa, officials said.

The unidentifi­ed man’s family was called to the state-run morgue in KwaZulu-Natal to identify his body and noticed he was still breathing Tuesday, health officials said.

The heart-stopping flub sparked an internal investigat­ion into who was at fault, officials said.

A college in India has banned students from wearing ripped jeans because the fashion statement “mocks the poor.”

Security guards have been acting as fashion police at St. Xavier’s College in Mumbai, enraging fashionist­as who called the rule “draconian.” Let him be! It’s an elderly Cuban woman’s full-time job to guard the sunglasses on a bronze statue of John Lennon at a park in Havana.

Aleeda Rodriguez Pedrasa, 72, earns roughly $245 Cuban pesos a month protecting the removable, hippie-style shades.

The lenses have been swiped several times since Cuba unveiled the statue in 2000, on the 20th anniversar­y of Lennon’s death.
