We are not alone. That’s been the thinking of many people for years. It seems almost unthinkable that the entire universe exists with its countless planets and life-sustaining stars and yet little old planet Earth is the only one with living organisms running about on it. And, while many experts agree, it’s not a cut and dry as to whether extra-terrestrials have ever visited us here on Earth. No one really knows. Or at least no one’s letting on… But a stunning new video that’s emerged may shed some light on this ever-intriguing topic. The clips shows US space agency NASA’s…
When you’re on trial in court, there are various things you need to do and ceremonies you need to observe. You stand when the judge enters the room, for instance. Buy there are also quite a few things that you mustn’t do. And letting rip with an enormous fart is definitely one of them! Someone should have told the guy on trial here in this clip before he entered the courtroom. Only during the judge’s address, he can quite clearly be heard ‘releasing gas’, without shame. But while no one told him before that it was bad manners, he certainly…
Nine miles north west off the coast of County Donegal, Ireland, lies a tiny island called Tory Island. It’s a small little place with an even smaller little community living there. All’s calm and peaceful and normal and idyllic there. But there is one very unusual thing that happens there on Tory Island. Every day at Midday, without fail, the dog you’re about to see goes out for a little swim in the sea. Nothing that unusual in that you might think. But just wait until you see who he swims with… A dolphin! We always thought that dogs were…
Austynn Samarco decided to video herself throwing out some moves to the world’s newest dance craze, the ‘Whip/Nae Nae’ from Silento’s Watch Me music video. Seems like everyone’s whipping and doing the nae nae at the moment and Austynn’s no different. But halfway through her dance, her dad Josh bursts in and he’s not happy about seeing his young daughter dancing to hip-hop… Not alone, at least! So he gets down on the floor himself. And boy, does this ol’ cowboy have some serious swag. Austynn almost has trouble keeping up with her old man here. Would your dad have…
Being born blind is about as unlucky as it can get. But while it’s unfortunate, any children born without sight don’t need to worry. There are currently ten million people in the USA that are registered blind, so there’s no need to feel alone. There are all sorts of programs set up too for support and help. But there’s no denying – life can be a little tougher when you can’t see… Getting used to relying on the white cane can be a long and tricky process. For both sightless children and their parents. It takes a lot of encouragement,…
We’re well and truly into tennis season now. It’s all over sports TV and in sports pullouts of all of the newspapers. And while Novak Djokovic might well be the best male player in the world at the moment, there’s no denying that Roger Federer has dominated the sport for easily the last decade and more. The Swiss star has been so good for so long that you just can’t imagine anyone thrashing him or making him look silly on the court. But if it’s going to happen, surely it’s going to be Djokovic that shows him up, right? Or Andy Murray?…
AIDS and HIV are no joking matter. They go hand in hand, but luckily not everyone who is diagnosed as being HIV positive goes on to develop AIDS. Only ‘acquired immune deficiency syndrome’ can be a truly debilitating disease. A killer. Since the spread of the disease back in the 1980s, there’s always been somewhat of a taboo surrounding diagnosis, because it went on to be associated with the promiscuous, intravenous drug users and the homosexual community. Sufferers had to face not only the terrible effects of the affliction, but the social shame that went with it. Thankfully we’re living in…
Camping can be a whole lot of fun for the entire family, can’t it? It’s a great thing to do when you want to spend time with your loved ones but don’t want the planning and expense of a ‘regular’ vacation. You just pack a few things into the car and head off the woods for a bit. Bliss. But there’s always one thing you forget, isn’t there? And it’s normally one of the more important items (hey, it’s Murphy’s Law…). We’re imagining that you wouldn’t be dumb enough to forget the tents! But it’s understandable if you leave the…
