A plant that eats rats? Bring it to NY!!!
Well, here's one time, outta many, I’m going to disagree with Wikipedia. As the video below shows these things are capable of eating rats ‘cause rats are attracted to them. If this is the case than we may have found somewhat of a solution to controlling NYC’s rat population which estimates say as much as 96 Million.The pitchers of N. attenboroughii are open to the elements and thus often completely filled with fluid. This fluid is viscous in the lower part of the pitcher and watery above, forming two fractions that do not mix.
In the latter half of 2009, this taxon received a great deal of publicity in the national press of various countries as a sensational new plant that catches and kills rats.Whilst certainly large enough to trap rodents, no rodents of any kind have yet been observed within the pitchers of this species, as indicated in the type description and through subsequent clarification by the author, who suggests that should rodents be captured by the plant, it is likely to be through misadventure rather than by design; instead, large bugs and flying insects appear to be the usual prey.
Now, if these plants ate roaches?…hmmmm!!!

The hunt for the Mongolian Death Worm is on…seriously
So crypto-zoologist has been in search of a very elusive animal that roams the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. The animal, called by locals Allghoi Khorkhoi or "intestine worm", resembles a cow's intestine and is about 4.9 feet long (1.5 Meters)…supposedly??? Locals claim that it kills it’s pray by spitting concentrated acid from it’s mouth and/or lightning from it’s rear end (as if flatulence wasn’t enough…tudum tish…that was a joke!). The expedition is supposed leave for Mongolia real soon.

It's a tweet worth $50,000? Horizon Realty thinks so.
But now what was said? “Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you? Horizon realty thinks it’s okay.”
How high can sea waves get?
Friday, April 30, 2009, 11:31 AM USS Kitty Hawk in Western Pacific. It's not often you see an aircraft carrier take waves over the bow. To put it in perspective, the deck is 102 feet off the water when docked. You can see the ship shudder when it crests (camera wiggle). You can bet the flight director was wishing he had parked that chopper a lot further aft. USS KITTY HAWK: Seastate 3.
Would follow the rules even if something bad was going to happen?
I got this in an email from one of my co-workers:
“The Good news: It was a normal day in Sharon Springs, KS when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded coal train for the long trek to Salina.
The Bad news: Just a few miles into the trip a wheel bearing became overheated and melted, letting a metal support drop down and grind on the rail, creating white hot molten metal droppings spewing down to the rail.
The Good news: A very alert crew noticed smoke about halfway back in the train and immediately stopped the train in compliance with the rules.
The Bad news: The train stopped with the hot wheel over a wooden bridge with creosote ties and trusses (In defense of the crew, according to Sixgun Jr., the crew tried to 'splain to higher-ups but were instructed not to move the damn train!).”
Moral of the story? Rules are Rules!!! (Don’t let common sense get in the way of an cool disaster).
