tree vs. car

A woman in Illinois hit a tree.  Accidents happen all the time--it's nothing new.  But what she did afterwards is the surprising part.  The 15 foot tree got stuck in her grill and she continued to drive.  It was standing straight up in the air and her air bags even deployed.  She said that she doesn't remember where she hit the tree.  Hey Lady...stop consuming alcohol!!  tree

Hank the Dog

The Brewers have taken good care of Hank the Dog.  So much so that he looks like a different dog which gets the conspiracy theorists going.  Some are claiming that Hank has died and the Brewers secretly replaced him with a different dog.  The Brewers find it amusing and have taken Hank to the vet to have his chip verified.  They held a news conference to unveil the news and used the opportunity to work with the Humane Society to share messages about animal care, adoption, and tracking.  Hank

bugs, bugs, and more bugs!

A beetle invasion is happening on the beaches in Argentina.  Some are claiming that it is a sign that the world is about to end.  Others are selling the bugs online saying that the insects can strengthen the body's defenses against cancer, AIDS, asthma, diabetes, and other illnesses.  millions of bugs

baby dragons

A rare birth will soon happen in a cave in Slovenia.  There are 57 eggs ready to hatch.  The "baby dragons" or olms will soon be born.  The olms are blind but have other senses that are heightened.  In earlier times, a mist or fog was seen coming from the caves where they were born which made people think that a dragon lived there.  The olms, however, do not breath fire.  The creatures can live 100 years or more and can go without eating for up to 10 years.  The last time eggs were discovered in this cave was in 2013 but all the eggs were eaten before they could hatch.  This time, workers have removed all the olms that pose a danger to the eggs.  An infrared camera has been placed near the nests so that cave visitors can keep tabs on the babies.  rare birth

ghosts

Sometimes it's interesting what images are caught in photos.  Is it that we're just seeing things because of lighting or positioning of the camera or is there really something there?  If you're freaked out about seeing spooky images, then don't go look at these:  Pictures
