This is the Strand Craft SC 122 super yacht. The dream child of boat designer Eduard Gray, the Strand Craft SC 122 is unique in the world of super yachts as it is the first of its kind to be designed to compliment the looks of the supercar that comes with it. That’s right – this $24 million dollar silver behemoth comes complete with its own supercar. The car’s design takes its inspiration from the Ferrari Testarossa and the Chevy Corvette, blending elements of the two to produce a beautiful, sleek machine that accompanies the yacht perfectly. The yacht is…

Crows are one of the most intelligent species of birds living on the planet today. These quick-thinking birds have demonstrated an ability to solve complex puzzles, such as the one set by the BBC’s Chris Packham in this clip from Inside The Animal Mind. Crows have been studied extensively, and have passed many problem-solving tests with flying colors. However, until now, these tasks have never been put together before to create a multi-task puzzle. So, for example, a crow may have been tested before on an individual puzzle such as one where it is tasked to retrieve food from a…

Meet Bob the dog. Bob’s not like a lot of dogs. Why is that, you ask? Well, unlike most dogs, Bob has a group of rather unorthodox buddies. Bob is a Golden Retriever who lives in Brazil with his owner, Luiz Higa Junior. Luiz got Bob when the Retriever was four months old. He had already acquired a cockateel and a parakeet, and Bob seemed to get on with them just fine. It wasn’t long before Bob, the parakeet and the cockateel were joined by six more birds and a hamster. They all live happily together in Luiz’s home in…

The practice of bracing teeth has been around a lot longer than you may think. In ancient times, catgut (animal intestines) was bound around crooked teeth in an attempt to straighten them out. By the 18th Century, technology had improved slightly from wrapping bits of guts around teeth, with the introduction of iron bands that pushed the teeth into place. The practice of removing premolars to allieviate overcrowding in the mouth had also been introduced, though this must have been extremely painful due to the lack of effective anesthetics. By the 19th Century, advances in orthodontics saw the introduction of…

When Reddit user pippx’s son Henry’s birthday was approaching, she could have just gone to the store and bought him a toy just like everybody else. Instead she decided she wanted to give her special little boy something extra special. She’s an artistic lady; a dab-hand with a spray can. So instead of a boring old toy, pippx decided to give Henry a gift of the whole universe! She dismantled this plain white ceiling fan into its separate pieces: First of all she spray-painted the blades with black paint. She kept the can about a foot away from the blades…

Mike Pike’s an unlucky man. He suffers from a condition called ‘sleep paralysis’. The condition causes the sufferer to wake in the middle of the night, but only in a semi-conscious, dreamlike state. While the person suffering from sleep paralysis may be partly conscious, they cannot move their arms or legs, and, in this case in particular, they cannot shout and scream when a mysterious and ghostly shape appears at the bottom of their beds! That’s right! Poor old Mike had been getting the eerie feeling that he was not alone when he went to bed for several months, so…

The world’s smallest colt was born on the farm of horse-breeder Diana Gilger in Guthrie, Oklahoma recently. Diana, who has been breeding miniature horses at her Mystic Rock Miniatures Ranch for many, many years, was unsure just how big the tiny little foal would be as her mother – Jazz, another miniature horse – hardly showed during pregnancy. Indeed, Diana’s friends Linda and Jim Woods doubted Jazz was even pregnant. They did, however, agree to buy Jazz’s offspring despite their doubts. Hope was born on the 18th June and her birth weight and size made her the smallest miniature horse…

Fifteen years ago the world was amazed (and a little creeped out) by an eight year old bodybuilder called Richard Sandrak who had been dubbed by the media ‘Little Hercules’. Sandrak had been pushed into the limelight by his overbearing father Pavel, whose strict training regime had resulted in his son achieving the physique of a well-built man, despite being a child. Many people criticized Pavel Sandrak at the time for pushing his boy too far, but at the time young Richard seemed to enjoy it; reveling in the spotlight as he was dubbed the ‘World’s Strongest Boy’. Richard’s father…

The Internet has opened up a whole new frontier when it comes to bullying. Now, thanks to web forums, social media sites and video comments sections, bullies don’t even need to bully people face to face and run the risk that the person bullying them might just turn on them. Now they can do it anonymously from the safety of their keyboards. They’re cowards, basically, and they don’t care who they hurt. One such person the bullies targeted recently was eleven year old Logan Fairbanks. Logan’s dad had posted some videos of Logan goofing about on his YouTube channel, as…

A North Philadelphia man called Hector Garcia filmed this mysterious footage of what may or may not be a UFO floating ethereally across the sky outside his home. The footage has gone global, with many UFO experts saying it is an example of what is known as a ‘Cloud Stealth UFO’. Cloud Stealth UFOs are believed to be alien ships from outer space that cloak themselves in a force field that, to the naked eye, closely resembles a cloud here on earth. Nigel Watson, an expert in the field of ‘UFOlogy’ and the author of The UFO Investigations Manual told…
