This world is full of weird and amazing stories ... and sometimes you would think that animals are more compassionate than humans ... especially nowadays!
The strangest incident happened in a small village outside the Jordanian capital, Amman, when a cat took unusual interest in 5 chicks!
A hen had been chased and killed by a dog ... this hen, had 5 small chicks ... who will care of them after the mother hen has died?
A cat took interest in these orphaned chicks and started caring for them, putting them under her arms and keeping them warm!
This same cat, gave birth to three little kittens a couple of weeks later and is now caring for her kittens and the 5 chicks!
At first the cat's owner, wanted to take the chicks away from her because he thought it was going to eat them, but was astonished when he saw her taking care of them!

I’ve never been to Texas but I must say that the things I read about this state sound really interesting. Aside from the good ol’ cowboys and rodeo, this place spouts inventions that will really make you say “wow that’s amazing”! Previously, Texas amazed the people with their 57-foot long barbecue train, the Dragon BBQ grills, train-like grill trailer, PS3 Grill, Chevy V8 grill and the classic Holden Monaro GTS grill. This is already quite a list they have. But despite that list, Texas is not content yet because a new addition to these is the massive Pistol barbecue grill. No kidding about its size of 19 feet long. Within this length lie the two grills. The first one measures 36” x 60” and the second one 12” x 36”.

I don't like to think of ordinary scorpions, the normal sized ones in the desert, they give me the chills!
How about a scorpion that's bigger than me! Aaaahhh!!!
Thank God those don't exist in our time, but it seems they did a few hundrer million years ago.
Paleontologists discovered a giant fossilized claw in Germany, that once belonged to an 2.5 meter long sea scorpion.
It's approximately 400 million years old!
The paleontologists say: "We have known for some time that the fossil record yields monster millipedes, super-sized scorpions, colossal cockroaches, and jumbo dragonflies. But we never realized until now just how big some of these ancient creepy-crawlies were".
Eurypterids, or ancient sea scorpions, are believed to be the extinct aquatic ancestors of today's scorpions and possibly all arachnids, a class of joint-legged, invertebrate animals, including spiders, scorpions, mites and ticks.

This photo is NOT photo-shopped! It's a real pic and the woman in it is the woman with the world's smallest waist! She's even in the Guinness Book of World Records!
Pensioner Cathie Jung, who is 70 year old, has a tiny waist which measures just 38 cm!
I wonder, where are her internal organs? How can all the things fit in there?

I’m not particularly fond of soft drinks; I only drink some if it’s really hot or if a friend treats me to one. It would be ungracious of me to refuse it right? To soft drinks drinkers, the usual problem for them is that their drink warms up real fast that it becomes unpalatable, even more so when ice is added to keep it cold. But it seems Coca Cola has come up with the perfect solution to this predicament. I’m not sure how they did it but they have developed a bottle that keeps the contents cold even after the cap has been twisted off. There is a device in the bottle that solidifies or makes into ice some of the drink. I think that is ingenious in itself and quite interesting!

If you think about it, a lot of the disputes and troubles happening all around us are the result of differences, in culture, views and many other factors. Sometimes I can’t help but think if all people would just learn to get along it would be a better place to live in… I’m sure you’ll agree with me, or maybe not. But if animals can do it maybe humans can do it too. Just take a lesson from this little monkey and a pigeon. These two make an adorable image as you can see. This unusual friendship happened in an animal sanctuary in China.

This biggest carpet in the world for sure won’t fit into your living room. Iran unveiled the hand-woven carpet that measures 5,625 square meters (60,546 square feet), which is about, or more than the size of a soccer field! Wow, this really took some hard work involving 1,200 weavers in three villages in the northeast. Want to know the duration? Well, it took one year and a half to finish the pieces. Said carpet will be delivered to UAE where a new mosque is being constructed.

Did you know that Indian Ink doesn't come from India? It comes from China & Egypt!
A pencil doesn't contain lead! It has Graphite!
The silk worm, although called a worm, is the larva or caterpillar of the silk moth.
The Panda isn't a bear! It's from the Raccon family!
A banana tree, is in fact a herb!
Cucumbers & Tomatoes are not vegetables ... they are fruits!
A Turkish bath isn't really Turkish, it's Roman!
A Koala bear isn't a bear! It's a marsupial!

I did not know that lobsters come in any other color aside from orange. But when I saw this particular news well I saw there are also lobsters in brown color. Usually this crustacean only bears one color throughout its body so it is really amazing that the one found off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island is a combination of orange and brown color. Its color is also a perfect symmetry because the division of the colors is really equal, the left in brown and the right side in eye-catching orange.

A laundry room… I’d never think that this is a place where one can find a timeless treasure but that is exactly what was found in the filing cabinet in a Swiss laundry room. The treasure is in the form of a collection of historical letters – a collection that range for over 500 years, painstakingly collected by inveterate collector Albin Schram. The letters also cover various areas like art, science, philosophy and literature. But perhaps the most interesting among the collection is the letter made by Napoleon for the love of his life Josephine. As you probably can guess, it’s no ordinary letter; it’s a love letter! A woman’s heart can really go a-flutter when it comes to love letters right? Especially if it contains line like, “I send you three kisses – one on your heart, one on your mouth and one on your eyes”.

Getting confused over traffic and road signs is not a sin right? For as long as nobody gets hurt in the process. Just like this 52-year old woman in Germany who mistook an underground station entrance for an underground park. She blamed the incident on the fact that the signs for underground public car parks are similar to the blue sign indicating underground stations. So this woman wanted to park near the supermarket, but unfortunately for her instead of a parking area she drove her VW Beetle straight through the station 9.22 commuter express that takes passengers to Germany’s downtown Dusseldorf. Luck was with her that day because she did not acquire any injuries, but her car was left stuck on the subway steps.

I have a friend who is working right now in Dubai. Last time I browsed her pictures in one of the networking sites I saw this photo of her and right behind her was a tower. If my memory serves me right I think she mentioned in her caption Burj Tower. This Tower is certainly another added attraction in Dubai, inviting tourists to flock over the country. It is definitely a great sight to see since Burj Tower is now the second tallest building in the world, coming close to Taiwan’s Taipei 101 tower. Burj Tower is another great icon to behold in the land of Dubai as it stands 468.1 meters, 130-storey building. This new infrastructure exceeds Malaysia’s Petronas Towers and Sears Tower of Chicago.

I’ve always loved the cuddliness of cats and dogs; in fact I have two dogs at home. Animal lovers like myself will surely find this Bengal Tiger at the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Zoo in Vallejo just within the vicinity of San Francisco in California cute. This Bengal Tiger has a name of Odin and he has a rare coloring – white, a very unusual color for tigers in the wild as well as in the zoo. Odin is now six years old and even though he is large, measuring 10ft long from nose to tail, he just looks all cuddly and adorable. But Odin has a very unusual trait because unlike any other tiger that you’ll find in a Zoo because he just loves to go getting his furry body wet.

I for one haven’t served any jail time but as you can imagine for most it’s an unpleasant time where you are exposed to several aspects that can literally scar you for life but here’s the good news for a sum of money –usually ranging between $75 and $127- you can get 5 star services in your cell. This strange amazing service can be found in several areas of California and is on offer for people with ‘minor charges’ who still have a stash of cash hidden somewhere. Nicole Brockett who has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol has been placed in one of these jails and pays $85 a day for accommodation in what she describes as a ‘five-star Hilton’ (its important to keep in mind she is referring to a jail)!
