"His wife" has a name too, and it's Lélia Wanick Salgado. They're both environmentalists so they both should be recognized.
Elephants mourn their dead... they made this man an honorary member of the herd. This is so sweet and sad.
Gray story but healthcare to save someone’s life should not drain your f*****g life savings
When a loved one leaves the pain is insurmountable. In my opinion,this pain never leaves. This insurmountable loss and pain becomes a part of our life as we cherish the memories.
we Aussies are ashamed. To be fair, Emu's are fukn frightening and tough buggers...
Student confronted with a knife? What was he supposed to do? Get stabbed?
I need to know how f'd up the dude was after. So after some googling. The gorilla was intoxicated on fermented bamboo. He came at the photographer with all his weight and it felt like being hit by a train he said. He was left with a souvenir scar on his forehead. (I'm guessing from where his camera went into his face.) Then the gorilla just walked right over him and went on his way. (Super lucky he's alive imo).
When I was a kid I was told by my great grandma's 2nd husband that in the late 50s early 60s him and his friends were responsible for several faked foot prints and other evidence such as howls of Big Foot in Skamania County WA. The irony of it all is that later in life he was a converted believer in Sasquatch. I've been wanting to tell this secret since I was 15.
They had questions if she was that old-like maybe her daughter took over her identity. The other fascinating thing is her lawyer went into contract with her to purchase her apartment en viager when she was 90. Basically someone makes a monthly payment until the seller’s death, when the property becomes theirs. She outlived him. And his children had to continue the payments by law until her death. Maybe karma thinking he was getting a great deal on real estate.
This makes me feel better, it's a great reminder to check yourself for thinking in stereotypes. My IQ is close to that, and I've not made any noticeable accomplishments that would give it away. I am disabled, and feel I can never live up to the potential I had as a child. I think everyone expects that a high IQ means we've gotta be nerdy, awkward geniuses. Higher IQ does, however, increase existential depression, so please, bring on the cannabis so we can make it until tomorrow. Do not judge a book by it's cover, or even by it's reputation 💜
That was unintentional but Genghis became an eco warrior through his wars
Framing the dog...what a jerk! Fido only has his learner's permit.
I'm guessing it's already been secretly emptied and keeping it closed means nobody will look for the culprits.
For Newton, his foray into mathematics, gravity and optics was just a temporary distraction from his real hobby, alchemy, about which he wrote a huge amount of total(?) rubbish. His paid work was as master of the British Mint.
what about the daughter he doesnt communicate with because she's queer?...Edit: thanks to other pandas and further research, yeh, he abandoned her before birth, because she was the result of a fling...what a fukn champ(douchepickle)
They were mourning their loss of this guy. Perhaps in the not so distant future, this record number of people gathered at a funeral may be broken for the total opposite reason. I think we all know whom...
I guess my husband stole all the IQ when he was created, his 2 younger siblings reminds me of another version of Beavis & Buthead
It should've been Brenda Fricker to deny this insulting comparison
TBF he looks like the sort of guy who would try to make a living that way.
It’s because “cow” (牛) in slang means someone that has extremely impressive abilities. The original “牛姐” (literally translated “cow girl” or “cow sis”) was a nickname for Mariah Carey, and people in China thought Ariana’s voice was similar to Mariah’s, so she was known as “小牛“ (little cow).
So this guy bought a car, insured and registered it, then abandoned it, just to get back at his ex? He probably put more work into that revenge plan than he did in their relationship.
Wait wait wait. As a woman, I have to ask how chest size factors into this
If AI written essays are as bad as AI created people, those students are in trouble.
PSA: The crown jewels were actually given as a birthday gift from South Africa to the British King.
That man needs some counselling for his mental health. Hopefully this will help him feel appreciated instead of manipulating the emotions of people around him. He must be in a very bad place if this is the only way he can think to get love.
Fun fact: Pluto has a heart on its surface made out of solid nitrogen and it has toothpaste like consistency. It’s called Tombaugh Regio
Fun fact: I love the list, hate the title. I don't say "WTF" when I learn something because I know more words than that. What's wrong with "Fascinating Random Facts"? And by the way, unless they start the sentence, words like "of", "the", "and", "may" aren't capitalized in headlines.
