ShareTweetPin By Zack Carter It was a bright, sunny Sunday morning and church service had just let out. A visiting pastor was showing off his new motorcycle to a large group from the congregation in the church’s parking lot. He rode around in circles, demonstrating its wide range of motion, and revved the engine to show off its power. A young lady in the crowd requested a ride. Without hesitation, the young pastor agreed. She hopped on the passenger seat directly behind him, wrapped her arms around his waist while…

A lightning strike has killed four rare mountain gorillas in Uganda, with a pregnant female and an infant male among the fatalities. Two other adult females died in the freak event, which occurred in Mgahinga National Park on February 3.

Tonight is Janelle Monae‘s night, apparently! The performer opened up the Oscars on Sunday evening with a stunning little medley number honoring some of the best films of the year, and we were surprised, pleased, and LOVING it!!

Such an original, awesome way to open up the show!!!…

From the bubbling hot springs of Yellowstone to the ultra-sterile rooms used to build spacecraft, there’s scarcely a place on Earth where life hasn’t, somehow, managed to survive and even thrive. “Life, uh, finds a way,” a wise man once said. Even the walls of a fallen nuclear reactor, still beaming with radiation, are crawling with an unusual gang of fungi.  In fact, a number of fungi species are known to inhabit the extremely radioactive environment that emerged out of the infamous Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. All in all, scientists have documented around 200 species…

It’s hard to imagine life as an astronaut. Making daily scientific breakthroughs while you orbit the globe, witnessing Earth from the best seat in the house as you go – I think we can all agree it must be pretty incredible. There is, however, one downside to man’s final frontier in that NASA doesn’t invite man’s best friend along for the ride. But as the saying goes, distance makes the heart grow fonder, and a recent video posted to Twitter by NASA Astronaut Christina Koch showing the heart-melting moment she sees her…

Whoops! On the official website of the royal family, you can find loads of helpful information about charities they support, history of the monarchy, and apparently a link to X-rated adult websites! Instead of linking to the site for charity Dolen Cymru, which Prince Harry has served as the patron of since 2007, the URL briefly led visitors to a Chinese porn site that offers live sex shows online. In actuality, Dolen Cymru supports positive changes in Welsh communities and in the southern African Kingdom of Lesotho through educational links,…

Around Lady Elliot Island, a 45-hectare island in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, swims a sight like no other in the world: a manta ray with a bright pink belly. The animal was first seen in 2015 and received the name Inspector Clouseau, after the bumbling detective in the Pink Panther movies. New images of Inspector Clouseau, the only known manta ray with this particular coloration, were recently taken by underwater wildlife photographer Kristian Laine. The rosy-hued ray came to the attention of the University of Queensland’s Project Manta, who wondered about…

NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP/Getty Images Can A Presidential Impeachment Be Expunged? Republicans May Try It By Madhuri Sathish Feb 6, 2020 The impeachment trial of President Donald Trump came to a close on Wednesday, Feb. 5, when the Republican-controlled Senate voted to acquit the president of the impeachment charges against him.

A handheld device that “prints” new skin cells onto a wound has been successfully trialed by a team of researchers in Canada. The 3D-printed layer of skin could be used to help patients with severe burn injuries too extensive to allow skin grafts. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 180,000 deaths every year are caused by burns. Even non-fatal burn injuries are a leading cause of morbidity, disfigurement, and disability. Current methods for treating full-thickness burns, which destroy both the upper and lower layers of skin, include scaffolds…
