A burglar who broke into a Target store in Georgia claimed he did it to practice his ninja skills, according to police.

Christophe­r Zahyeer Atkins, 25, allegedly told cops he was “practicing entering and exiting buildings like a ninja” after reading “Naruto,” a Japanese manga series about an adolescent ninja.

An elk proved snapping selfies with wild animals is a bunch of bull when it maimed a ditzy tourist who whipped out her phone.

The unnamed woman struck a pose next to a herd of bull elk in Lone Elk Park, Mo.

The horned creatures made a “warning call,” but she didn’t take the hint. One of the animals charged the woman and sliced her arm with its antler.

There’s something in the water fountain.

Ten students at a school in England were ranked “geniuses” after scoring at least 148 on an IQ test.

The whiz kids at St. Bede’s Catholic College, a high school in Bristol, churned out scores of 148 to 161, placing them in the top 2 percent of test-takers worldwide. Grate big bust. A British driver was caught hauling a van full of cheese weighing more than a thousand pounds over the legal limit.

Traffic cops caught him with 2,822 pounds — 41 percent more than permitted — in Cambridges­hire.

No entry without a man bun.

A pop-up bar in Manchester, England, is turning away people who aren’t deemed more than 90 percent “hipster” based on their style.

The Hipster Bar, founded by Max Dovey, 28, snaps photos of bar-goers’ faces and clothing and enters them into a computer database complete with 20,000 images of cool kids.

If they match closely enough, they’re granted access to a free open bar.
