Weird BUT true

Mary Horomanski, of Erie, Pa., owed a shocking amount of money to her electricit­y provider.

Her bill was for $284 billion!

“We had put up Christmas lights and I wondered if we had put them up wrong,” she said.

Her son called the company and found it had misplaced a decimal point — and that his mother really only owed $284. Is nothing sacred? A topless activist tried to snatch baby Jesus from the Nativity scene in St. Peter’s Square in Rome just before Pope Francis was to speak Monday.

The activist, with the radical women’s group FEMEN, screamed, “God is a woman!” and lunged for the statue of the Christ child before she was foiled by a Vatican guard.

These calls are never dropped.

A Minnesota telephone pole was left suspended in midair after a driver crashed into the structure and took out the bottom half of the post while the top remained suspended by phone lines.

Maplewood police tweeted a photo of the aftermath, hoping the driver would come forward.

At this rate, it will be Christmas again next week.

British grocery stores Co-op and Tesco began selling Easter supplies five days before Christmas, leading consumers to lament the pace at which stores usher in the next holiday shopping season.

“We have not even had Christmas Day but the co-op are selling Easter eggs madness @coopuk,” shopper @Philw64 wrote on Twitter.

British pugilist Amir Khan, a Muslim, is fending off death threats after he posted a photo of his Christmas tree on Instagram.

He was accused of betraying his religion.

One person replied, “I promise to God I want to kill you and your family, Amir.”
