Fish Mimics Mimic Octopus That Mimics Fish!

The mimic octopus, scientifically known as the Thaumoctopus mimicus is able to take of the forms of a lionfish, a jellyfish, a shrimp, a crab, and more than ten other animals. However the mimic has now become the mimicked. 


A jawfish in Indonesia has recently been filmed mimicking the mimic octopus! 

The video below says it all..

"Nice try nature, show me an octopus that mimics a fish mimicking an octopus mimicking a fish and maybe I'll be impressed."

Bizarre items left in hotels!

An extensive list of weird and peculiar of items that hotel guests have left behind by the budget hotel chain Travelodge throughout all of their 496 hotels in the UK.

I've compiled a list of the ones I've though were most weird and funny for you all to laugh at!

• A life-size Mr Blobby costume

I'm adding this costume to my list of fears.

• A case of 100 Duchess of Cambridge masks

Someone must have a bit of a fetish....

• An urn containing the ashes of a guest’s late wife

Someones going to get haunted.

• £50,000 worth of watches

Criminal? Maybe?

• An entire Santa’s grotto

Christmas tree, lights etc.

•  Keys to a Ferrari 458 Italia in London 

Surprised the person who found this handed it in!

Vrgin with 14 kids?

You heard it right. Although it is not some magical, alien occurrence, it is still quite the story.

Trent Arsenault, a 36 year old man has fathered 14 healthy children throughout his life as a sperm donor. He claims he has the "ideal gene pool" for fathering children. I think that can be debated...

He explained on Anderson Cooper's daytime show what his thoughts were on his generous donating.
"I coined this term 'donor sexual' and I'll explain it means 100 per cent of my sexual energy is for producing sperm for childless couples to have babies. So I don't have other activity outside of that."

Maybe this is all just an excuse for his friends as to why he remains a virgin...
Maybe he's just so obsessed with the movie "40-year Old Virgin" that he wants to become it..
Maybe he's secretly gay..
 
What do you guys think?

Getting drunk from a tampon!

Yes, you read it correctly. Some teenagers are going to extreme lengths to get drunk the fastest way possible.

You might've seen this one on the news already but it most definitely worth re-posting for those unaware. This quick video basically sums up the story.

I'm all for getting drunk and having a good time, but really? Sticking tampons up your ass in order to do so? REALLY?

That's just taking it TOO FAR. Just imagine some teenagers ready to go out, then they all grab their alcohol soaked tampons and stick them up their ass. Wait, don't imagine that..

But still. Too far guys...too far...

Amish men jailed!

Bit of an ironic situation as my last post they were the victims. Well, on to the story anyways.

The first of the 10 Amish has already been sent to jail for 10 days. They are all being charged with refusing to face fines for breaking the state highway rules in Kentucky. The law being that their horse drawn carts are required to have reflective orange triangles on the back of their vehicles.

Once again the men have a religious objection to the bright orange signs, which they say are flashy and conflict with their pledge to live low-key and religious lives.

Seems like their 'low-key' lifestyle is causing a bit of trouble for themselves and their families.

Defendents plead Not Guilty to beard cutting!

10 men and 2 women were indicted on seven counts for their part in unusual attacks starting September 2011. Most of these charges being 'bear and hair cutting assaults'. As the assaults were taking place in a tight-knit Amish community, the attacks were considered especially egregious because the beard is a symbol of a man's identity among the Amish and women in the community do not cut their hair for biblical reasons

3 of the accused pictured above

 The judge has release 5 of the defendants on a $20,000 bond, setting a trial date for March 19.

This case seems so surreal to me. I have never experienced an Amish culture nor ever seen an Amish person in real life. I just can't seem to fathom people going around and cutting off other peoples beards as a federal hate crime. I apologize if you think I'm being ignorant about this.

Worlds's Smallest Frog!

Measuring in at an average of just 7.7 millimeters long, or 0.3 inches for you Americans, the Paedophryne amauensis now holds the title for the world's smallest frog. Beating its competitor by 0.2 millimeters. Just think about that for a second, less than 1cm long.

It has become the worlds smallest known vertebrate, the same size of a housefly. It was found during a study in  Papua New Guinea back in August 2009 but only 'formally described' in January 2011. Who says animals are only going extinct and not evolving into new species?

Some interesting facts about the frog:

• Its life cycle does not include a tadpole stage.
• They are capable of jumping 30 times their length.
• They feed on small invertebrates such a mites.

 Kind of a weird question, but would you rather have a 'normal' sized frog, or 100 of these little fellas?

Lion tries to attack a little girl!

The video basically sums it up for this story.

Taken from the description.
"Nerves of steel and safety glass are what you need when face to face with a lion and three year old Sophia Walker benefited from both during a close encounter with one of the Wellington Zoo's lions.

Sophia's mum filmed the interaction with the little girl barely flinching in her face off with six year old lion Malik. Zoo staff say Sophia was never in any danger with the enclosure glass thirty three millimetres thick and designed not to shatter or break."

I'm just saying, I wouldn't had a heart attack if that happened to me.

Couldn't help but laugh at this comment.
"Lion: WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?!?!?!?!?!?!"

$34,000, the worlds most expensive tea!

And the secret ingredient? Putting it bluntly, panda shit.

An Yanshi, a former calligraphy teacher, has recently entered into the tea business and made it his goal to produce the worlds most expensive tea using quite a peculiar ingredient. He has purchased 11 tonnes of panda shit to fertilize a tea crop in the mountains of Sichuan, home to the gentle giants.

He says he is deadly serious about his new project as he quit his old job at the university to put his heart and soul into his panda shit experiment.

So would you pay a whopping $34,000 to be drink this stuff?
Would you even drink it for free?

This is An Yanshi. Enough said.

There a Crocodile in my house!

Some people like to have a good alarm clock to wake them up. Turning the volume up to maximum, using your most hated song as the sound or even hiding the clock so you have to get up and find it. Maybe the most effective though, a crocodile in your lounge room.

A Darwin family had the not so pleasant experience of being woken up by their braking dog only to find it was barking at a 1.7m salt water crocodile a mere 3m from the bedroom. Luckily they were able to fend of the beast with an acoustic guitar.

Neighbours also say 15 crocodiles suspected of escaping from the Darwin Crocodile Farm had turned up on their properties over the past five years.

What would you do if one of these were in your lounge when you woke up?

Name changed to "Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop"

There doesn't seem to be a lack of idiotic criminals in the world for you guys!

Born Jeffrey Drew Wilschke he changed his name to Beezow Doo-Doo Zoopittybop-Bop-Bop last October. Who really knows why he changed it. Maybe he knew he would eventually get caught and thought he would make world news for his obscure name. If he did plan it that way, I still can't tell if hes smart, a smart idiot or just a plain idiot!

He was arrested on charges of carrying a concealed weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and a violation of probation in Madison, Wisconsin.One more thing,
on his way to the prison, Beezow Doo-Doo Zoopittybop-Bop-Bop allegedly told cops that he would eventually "get even with them."

So how many of you successfully read his name?
Have to admit it, it took me a couple of tries..

Here, take my gun.

Another idiotic criminal story for you guys today. This time taking us to London is a man that raided the Halifax bank in town of Cheapside. Not so cheap when the man demanded 700,000 EU (approx. $900,000 USD) from a bank teller.

His mind must have lapsed as after he stated his demand, he handed over his gun to the worker instead of his duffel bag. Only after a couple of seconds did the crook realise what he had done and reached to grab the gun back. He was out of luck though and ran for the door as the security shutters came down.

Even if the robbery had gone to his plan, he forgot the part about an escape vehicle. This lead to him stealing a bank workers bike and pedalling off. The bank has released a photo of the criminal and a 25,000 EU reward for any information about him.
