‘Hello’ by British singer Adele. It was easily the biggest song of 2015. It still dominates the airwaves and music television channels. It’s a heartfelt ballad that really struck a chord with everyone. And while you might think that the original is perfect, a few people might argue with you… A reggae cover of Adele’s hit single is taking the world by storm at the moment. It’s racked up almost SEVEN MILLION views on Youtube since its release just over a month ago. And for good reason. It’s a brilliant version, we think. It’s performed by Conkarah from Jamaica and…
Omaha, Nebraska. When the snow hit recently, as with so many other parts of the country, things were bad. And the local community was suffering due to the lack of organized snow plowing and clearing up. So local man Justin Anderson decided to step up and take responsibility. Despite being permanently in a wheelchair. The Iraqi war veteran, paraplegic, brain cancer survivor and mechanic didn’t like the idea of children and parents slipping, so he built a special ‘off road’ wheelchair with a built-in snowblade. It’s tricked out and a real best! “The community here… has supported me immensely, through…
Animal rights activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are known for courting controversy in their marketing and advertising campaigns. But they’ve gone one better with their latest advertisement, seeing it BANNED from being aired during the commercial break at the Superbowl as planned. In it, we see a pretty steamy couple of scenes, one a regular meat-eating couple getting down to business, the other a vegan couple getting it on. And, with the campaign being called ‘Vegans Last Longer’, it’s all about the guy’s stamina. Apparently us burger-eaters are suffering from a poor performance rating, time-wise.…
Hunters in California uncovered something very strange recently after exploring the fruits of their latest hunt. They’d been out searching for their target, wild boars, all day, barely having a sniff. Just as they were due to give up and go home, they spotted a large boar behind a tree. And shot it dead. These hunters were experienced and liked to use their kill fully. So they planned to eat the boar. But on opening it up, they saw something that quickly put them off their dinner… Inside the wild boar, something very unusual was happening… The thing was BLUE.…
Tasmania, Australia. A nasty incident involving a laser pen left a young boy almost blind. The child, who has not been named, has lost 75% of his sight after a prank went wrong. And it’s sparked a national – and now international campaign – to alert parents as to the potential harm that such ‘toys’ can do. Retinal damage is a very real possibility. This wasn’t a one-off case, eye specialists across the globe have campaigned for years now to get age restrictions in place for the purchase and owning of these light-beaming instruments. The child shone the light into…
Being left for someone else is never a nice feeling. But that pain is made all the worse if it’s a long relationship. And your ‘other half’ is leaving you for someone significantly younger than the two of you… If only there was some kind of way to take revenge on your ex, huh? Well, if you think hard enough, there probably is. And, hey – don’t worry if you can’t think of anything. Maybe you can take some inspiration from the brilliant woman in this fantastic story of betrayal and revenge! Check it out:
La Marina, Columbia. New mother and cop Luisa Fernanda Urrea was called to a forest after a report was phoned in to report an abandoned baby. When she arrived, she found the member of the public who had stumbled across the little girl in the undergrowth. Calling the paramedics, it was obviously that the cold little baby was starving to death. Without thinking, Luisa began to breastfeed her. She saved her life. “I’m a new mother and I have milk and I recognised the needs that this poor little creature had”, Urrea says. “I think any woman would have given…
Tongues. We all have them. And while most of us just use them for talking and tasting (and a little kissing…), they’re capable of so much more. We should stop taking them for granted quite so much. Tongues are actually great indicators of poor health. Really! Take a quick look in the mirror at yours. How does it look? Nice and normal? Like everyone else’s? Good. Great! Well done, you’re probably quite healthy. But if there’s something up. Something unusual – you may need to seek medical attention. Here’s a gallery of some of the most common health issues that…
It was early one Saturday morning and Aaron and Emma Whittington were playing with their seven month-old baby daughter Mya when they noticed a red mark on her neck, just below her ear. Concerned, they investigated, but were left at a loss to explain it. So they did what any sensible and concerned couple of parents would do and they took her to see a doctor. At the emergency room, little Mya was taken in for tests and stayed in overnight. Aaron and Emma just assumed it’d be a gland thing, but in the morning? The bump had doubled in size.…
Television in foreign countries is often very strange, isn’t it? Have you noticed that? Sure, they are cultural differences between a lot of different countries. But it’s just really obvious when you switch on a TV set abroad. Take Eastern Europe for instance. And, specifically, Romania. Weather reports over there are unlike anything you’ve ever dreamed of seeing on the box where you live… Seriously. We’re used to occasionally having attractive women present the weather, but over there? It’s ridiculous. Now, we’re not saying that Roxana Vancea doesn’t have a deep understanding of meteorology, far from it. She might well…
