It seems as though we’ve not really heard much anywhere recently that isn’t Star Wars related. With Star War: The Force Awakens hitting the box office in a big way, it’s been all over the TV, internet and radio. There’s been a hype about JJ Abrams’ reboot which is like no other movie franchise. And, with so many million fans across the world, it’s easy to see why. While lots of characters in The Force Awakens are new to the universe of Star Wars, many are old faces. Harrison Ford returns as Han Solo and he’s been on the promotional…

New research from The University of Alberta claims that not only…
Comedian Torben Chris has a brand new one man show out now and in it, he deals with some pretty weighty issues. Including the idea that to shower or bath with your kid, as a dad, is somehow wrong. He admits to bathing with his daughter and was shocked to hear a fan complain he does the same and receives abuse about it. So Torben decided to post his own photo of him in the bath with his daughter in protest and explain a few things as he sees them… “Someone told me that he had been accused of paedophilia…
Hurricane, Putnam County, West Virginia. A little girl called Sophie and her family are out and about catching up on a bit of Christmas shopping. When all of a sudden, the wee girl notices someone out of the corner of her eye. The most Christmassy person you could ever hope to meet… Santa Claus himself! But this is no store grotto. It’s not even the real Santa. It’s just a guy with a beard! Admittedly, in defense of the little kid, the guy sure does look like like Saint Nick. He’s a big jolly-looking fella with a portly belly, white hair…
Not that long ago, when you looked into the back yard of Wayne Martin, all you’d be greeted with was a gaping chasm – a huge great big hole that looked like a meteorite had hit it! It was no wonder that his neighbors were so annoyed and used to complain about the look of the place. But now? It’s nothing less than awesome and has people in the area racked with jealousy! The DIY whizz has created a very special shipping container underground shelter that needs to be seen to be believed. The 20ft container wasn’t very easy to…
A husband is at home, settling into the couch to watch his favorite football team in the play-offs. He opens his potato chips, cracks a beer and lets out a sigh. “They better not screw up this year too”, he mutters. He hears his wife call out from the hallway. “Honey, can you fix this light here in the hall? It’s still broken…” Annoyed at being interrupted he calls back out to her. “What, now? Does it look like I have ‘G.E’ written on my forehead? No. I’m not doing it now.” Ten minutes later, she calls out to him…
A London-based millionaire originally from Saudi Arabia has been cleared by a UK court of the rape of a teenage girl after suggesting that the sex was ‘accidental’. He was acquitted despite the incredible excuse being that the 18 year-old was penetrated by him when he tripped over and fell on top of her… The rich 46 year-old property developer and investor Ehsan Abdulaziz, was accused of sexually assaulting the young woman as she slept off a night of drinking on the couch of his upmarket and executive apartment. Abdulaziz had already had sexual intercourse with the woman’s 24 year-old friend and insisted that his penis was…
Christmas is rapidly approaching and we’re all in a blind panic to make sure that we’ve picked up enough Christmas gifts for our loved ones, aren’t we? But before you wrap your presents and put them under the Christmas trees, have a quick think – are they safe? You might assume so, but you could be putting your family in danger… Disney’s Frozen and Maleficent toys, as well as loom bands and things like swimming goggles are testing dangerously high for something called ‘phthalates’. The toys, we should point out, that tested highly were all counterfeit. There has been no suggestion that…
The levels of poverty in America are pretty shocking. You’d think for a developed industrial country, the US would be able to support all of its inhabitants easily, but it’s not the case. Many millions live in poverty. Like the kids that attend the Metro Atlanta Boys & Girls Club. The Georgia-based youth club and charity did some recent research that suggests that almost 85% of their members are living below the bread line and are really struggling. So many of the children in the club have so little. So given the opportunity to have anything in the world…? They’d…
We’ve seen plenty of animal rescue in time here at Daily Digest. Particularly animals like dogs and cats. But the creature we’ve got for you here? Quite an unusual one to receive human care… A raven! Normally a bird to avoid human, the raven doesn’t normally come this close to people. But it’s soon clear just why this raven is happy to do so. It’s got four porcupine quills stuck in him. Three in his face and one in his wing. Luckily his new friend is happy to help. We can just imagine the lady asking, ‘Will you be messing…
