I gotta hand it to this steely-nerved Singapore rider. I would've cacked my pants in a similar situation.

The licence plate of the car Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in was AIII118; the date of the armistice of the First World War 11/11/18 the A even stands for armistice.

They should take Trump to the monolith - and if he says anything intelligent in the future, we'll know that this monolith is something special.
 
"Aghast and disgusted": Investigation launched into inflatable sex doll in school playground. The sources said students and at least one teacher rode on top of the sex doll down a children's slide, and a female name was given to the doll.
The ABC understands several teachers, including the principal, were seen by many primary school students as young as five, with the doll during the school's 55-minute lunch break.

Sources said the blow-up female doll had visible genitals and was tied to a pole during lunch break and had water and ice thrown on it.

It has been suggested in the NY Times that the object was by John McCracken, a minimalist sculptor of geometric forms.

Movies such as “Indiana Jones,” “Star Trek” and “Mission Impossible” have been filmed in the area.

Obviously the object is successful in the same purpose of the monolith in "2001: A Space Odyssey", which was to agitate the hominids.

Australian hostage Kylie Moore-Gilbert has been released by Iran in an apparent prisoner swap.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...r-swap-to-get-kylie-moore-gilbert-out-of-iran

The footage released yesterday showed three men draped in Iranian flags and bestowed with garlands of flowers, one of them in a wheelchair.

The three men were jailed for their part in a plot to kill Iranian diplomats in 2012, where they succeeded only in blowing up their own apartment and injuring 5 people.

The man pictured in a wheelchair is apparently Saeid Moradi, who lost his legs after throwing a grenade at police, only for the grenade to hit a tree and bounce back at him...

the gang that couldn't shoot straight...

That tree should've received a medal or at least have been honoured in a ceremony.

Did it fall from the sky or just climb onto a roof because cows are very very stupid? I love the way the other cows are only shocked for about a second.
According to people who claim to know about cows, they avoid climbing onto roofs. On the other hand, neither do they often fall from the sky.

It's likely that some things should remain strange. It's probably better that way for our mental health.

Country boy here, that's bullocks. Cattle can't descend very steep slopes as well as they can ascend them, but they will climb if they think there's something in it for them, e.g. more food or a good shag. They can also descend stairs despite the myth that they can't. And a final very British cow fact, they're the most dangerous large animal in the UK.

Dead minks infected with a mutated form of COVID-19 rise from graves after mass culling

Minks infected with a mutated strain of COVID-19 in Denmark appear to be rising from the dead, igniting a national frenzy and calls from local officials to cremate mink carcasses.

While the sight itself is certainly terrifying for the residents of West Jutland, a region of the country grappling with confirmed COVID-19 cases connected to mink, there is likely a scientific explanation for the zombie-like reemergence from their graves.
