Weird BUT true

The force is no longer with them.

Officials in Saudi Arabia withdrew a text book from schools that accidental­ly featured a photo-shopped image of Yoda sitting next to one of the country’s former kings.

The photo shows Prince Faisal — who later became Saudi Arabia’s third king — signing the United Nations Charter in 1945.

The image was created by artist Abdullah Al Shehri, who said he had no clue how it ended up in the book. What was he smoking? A Florida man called police to report a burglar broke into his home and swiped his stash of “blunts,” police said.

The pothead, from Vero Beach, said he was left high and dry when he returned to his house — and found his back door wide open.

An Arizona woman broke into a family’s home, dressed up in their clothes and raided the fridge, police said.

Ericka Layne Harper claimed she had gone to town on the fridge because she was extremely thirsty, cops said.

A bad mood can be as contagious as the common cold — at least if you’re a teenager, a new study claims.

Warwick University researcher­s examined adolescent­s and found feelings such as helplessne­ss and loss of interest can spread among groups of friends.

Police in Tennessee were forced to warn neighbors that a “decapitate­d body” was actually just a spooky prank.

The realistic Halloween decoration in Greene County featured the fake bottom half of a man’s body, covered in fake blood and apparently trapped under a garage door.

“THIS IS A HALLOWEEN DECORATION!” the sheriff department warned. “Do NOT call 911 reporting a dead body. Instead, congratula­te the homeowner on a great display.”
