Comment (by Themezly):

 OK understandable but should't  static page id be targeted with
 get_queried_object_id() than?

 I am doing this hack becuase of this "bug/feature"


 {{{
 function _thz_post_id() {
   if (in_the_loop()) {
        $post_id = get_the_ID();
   } else {
        $post_id =get_queried_object_id() == 0 ? 999999999999
 :get_queried_object_id() ;
          }
   return $post_id;
 }
 }}}

 but in my opinion if get_the_ID() is caught outside of the loop it should
 not return anything or it should return the get_queried_object_id()
 instead of picking any items from the loop.
