Eieren Blazen Oops
“Can I get a bridge for this shot?”
Yes, that’s a billiards table. No, they weren’t playing billiards, they were blowing eggs. In Amsterdam. The Amsterdammers blow eggs, and they call it Eieren Blazen.

Okay, so an enlisted 1st Class Navy Petty Officer got drunk, couldn’t start his vehicle due to a breathalyzer interlock. He captured a raccoon in an adjacent park brought it into his vehicle and squeezed it. The breathalyzer detected no alcohol on the raccoon’s breath, so the vehicle started, but the raccoon passed out from the squeeze. The driver left the animal unconscious on the floorboard of his vehicle. The raccoon awoke later and attacked the driver who then crashed his vehicle through a residential fence and into a swimming pool. TRUE. [h/t Dolphin Catcher.]

Art Rebel WIN
This is not an art class. It’s a conformity exercise in graphic plagiarism, and two kids in that class deserve an A. The *ahem* teacher deserves an F for taking the easy way out in order to please his/her employers and chumping the parents.
Please tell me I’m wrong.

The Astonishing Annual Red Crab Migration
Each year millions of bright red land crabs leave their burrow homes on Australia’s Christmas Island and start a long, laborious trek toward the sea. They descend cliffs, climb banks and maneuver around obstacles to reach the shoreline and lay their eggs, eventually returning to the island’s central plateau with their offspring in tow. The synchronized migration resembles a crimson-colored river undulating across the island and can last up to 18 days. The event typically takes place in November or December (the crabs will only move when it’s raining) and coincides with the turning of high tide and the arrival of the waning moon.
