Pastor Tim Jones met Don and Belinda Herbert when the couple stopped by Jones’s church in Kannapolis, North Carolina. Just three days later, after seeing Belinda’s appeal on Facebook, Jones agreed to donate his kidney to Don in a remarkable act of kindness. Herbert was battling stage five kidney failure, and was increasingly reliant on exhausting and time consuming daily dialysis. Without a kidney donation, he would have eventually died.…
Whilst he may not be top of the Hollywood A-list, John Goodman commands quite a cult following among movie fans.

Despite this success, Goodman has faced his fair share of personal problems. In particular, he has struggled with his weight since he was a youngster. Back in 2011, he confessed to David Letterman that battling his…
When Richard Johnson’s partner ran out, leaving him to bring up their one month old daughter, Persephone, alone, he could not have imagined the struggle he was about to face. Scared and daunted about what was to come, he turned to the internet, and social media in particular, to help him through the early stages of bringing up children. After searching around various self-help pages online, he stumbled upon a Facebook page called Life of Dad. This page turned out to be a fantastic resource for Richard, and earlier this month, he wrote a post on Life of Dad’s Facebook…
This is Jackson Taylor. Recently the 16-month-old Australian was traveling in a car along with his mother and 9-year-old sister when they collided with a vehicle going more than 70 MPH. Little Jackson’s chances of survival were slim. As a result of the crash, Taylor suffered an “internal decapitation” meaning his head was severed from the spine underneath the skin. Paramedics rushed to the scene, and airlifted the little boy to a hospital in Brisbane, where he endured a six hour life-saving operation. Dr. Geoff Askin, Australia’s “godfather of spinal surgery,” headed the team of surgeons who carried out the…
Berg Bay, Alaska. Mary Maley is taking a lunch break in a cabin during a solo kayaking trip around Alaska, when she notices a black bear out the window. Instead of just staying in the cabin, marveling at the majesty of such a creature, Mary decided to go outside and pepper spray – yes, pepper spray – the bear. Bad move. Unfazed by the woman’s attack, the bear decides to take revenge by destroying the thing most important to her – her canoe. Cool as you like, he strolls down to the kayak and starts to gnaw on it, piercing…
A clip from popular TV show Judge Judy has emerged which shows a man losing his case in fewer than 30 seconds, after accidentally admitting to a crime! The clip, which actually comes from a 2010 episode of the show, but only came to light recently, centers on teenager Ginny Paradeza, who is accusing a pair of young men of stealing her purse. In her inimitable style, Judy impatiently asks the plaintiff to recount what was in her wallet, to which she responds “There was $50 … I had to replace all my ID cards. I had gift cards in…
What’s going on here then? Well, it appears that two people are trying to pull out something badly stuck in a drain pipe. They’ve attached a rope to the stuck object, and are pulling on it with all their might. But what is it? Watch and find out. [fbvideo link=”https://www.facebook.com/AmericanPitBullTerrierOfficial/videos/879356512100609/” width=”700″ height=”400″ onlyvideo=”1″] Now this video begs the obvious question. How on earth did the puppies get down there in the first place? It seems likely that someone discarded their pet’s unwanted offspring down the drain hoping they would die. I honestly don’t know what goes through some people’s minds.
Dab hand at DIY? Want something more than just a boring ‘normal’ bed? Well we might have just the thing for you. Over on Imigur, user elohwhydee posted instructions on how to make a ‘floating bed’ complete with step by step photographs. And it’s AMAZING. This is how the finished product looks. A seeming support-less bed floating 20 inches off the bedroom floor. First, the person built a basic bed frame, screwed directly into the wall and supported by a hidden strut. This wooden strut supports the entire bed, so is securely attached to the frame using upside down joist…
