Weird BUT true

Fowl ball!

The World Snooker Championsh­ips were halted briefly Friday when a rogue pigeon landed on a table.

Yan Bingtao and Mark Selby were facing off in the game — like pool but with smaller pockets — at Sheffield Arena in England when the bird swooped down from a rafter and strutted along the table.

A referee chased away the ballsy birdbrain.

Now that’s a “high” way. More than 500 pounds of marijuana spilled onto an interstate in Missouri during a car crash on 4/20 — leading to two arrests.

Garbage bags of illegal weed could be seen strewn across I-70 near Fulton, according to The Missouri State Highway Patrol, which posted a photo of the green scene on the bud-boosting holiday.

Eeek! The rodents are robots.

Scientists in China have developed a robotic “rat” that can squeeze through narrow spaces to deliver lifesaving supplies after a building collapse.

During field tests, the trueto-size bot, dubbed SQuRo, crouched, crawled and stood creepily on its hind legs, according to the Beijing Institute of Technology.

It can also fit through a 3½-inch passage and carry 91% of its “body weight.”

A man who won $300,000 in the Belgium National Lottery can’t collect the cash because he’s an undocument­ed immigrant with no way to prove his identity.

The 28-year-old guy — who came from Algeria with no ID or documents — bought the winning ticket in Zeebrugge last month. He has a year to get his papers in order to claim the prize.

A woman got a surprise at a Walmart in Bloomingto­n, Ind., when a python popped out from under a shelf, according to a wild report.

The brave gal, who owns reptiles herself, took the prey-squeezing serpent to an animal shelter where it was put up for adoption.
