Weird BUT true

An upstate man landed on Santa’s naughty list when he was busted with bags of weed — that he tried to pass off as Christmas presents, according to police.

Peter Mojica, 33, of Buffalo, allegedly appeared intoxicate­d when he was stopped for speeding in Tonawanda. A search of his car uncovered six bags of pot, each weighing 38 grams, which Mojica claimed were for gifts, police said. You gotta be kiddin’. New Zealand police rushed to a scene near Queenstown following a report of a man trapped in a ravine and crying for help.

But after an hour, they realized the cries were coming from a goat, not a man, and called off the search, authoritie­s said. Here robot, robot, robot. Scientists are working to build the “purr”-fect companion for seniors: an electronic kitty that will help them find things and remember to take their medication­s.

Brown University and toymaker Hasbro scored a $1 million grant to add artificial intelligen­ce to the firm’s Joy for All robotic companion pets.

Worst hood ornament ever.

A nearly naked man clung to the hood of a woman’s Jeep in Florida and refused to let go — even as she swerved wildly.

Clad in only his underwear, the 30-something man hopped onto the vehicle in a Winn-Dixie parking lot in Titusville while shouting, “She stole my car!” according to police.

It was later revealed the man and woman were a couple.

Residents of an upscale British neighborho­od installed “anti-bird” spikes on tree branches — ruffling environmen­talists’ feathers.

Folks in Bristol say the spikes are there to stop pigeons from pooping on their fancy cars.

One critic tweeted: “Our war on wildlife: now birds are not allowed in trees?!”
