You'll hear one thing stated a dozen different ways when you visit parks in bear country- steer clear of bears, or you might end up mauled or dead.
This warning is enough to keep visitors on their toes and keep the timid from visiting parks in bear country at all, but some people act like it will never happen to them and roam around like they own the park.
The hunter who captured this bear attack footage on his GoPro camera is clearly one of those guys, because he thought he could take down a black bear with a lvl 1 archery skill!
This wild footage was captured by Richard Wesley while he was out bow hunting in Fire River, Ontario, and Richard seems pretty happy the bear didn't dine on his innards:
I am so happy after this confrontation with a black bear during our spring hunt. No wounds except a bruised elbow and ego where the bear threw me down. Genuinely happy that this was a non fatal or tragic outcome. Proving that the black bear is a wild and unpredictable animal. Again so happy with the outcome.
It's hard for new fast food chains to compete with the big names who have cemented their control of cities across America, and even Kenny Rogers couldn't compete with the big chicken chains- his chain of Kenny Rogers' Roasters officially closed for business in 2011.
But many failed fast food chains have found success overseas, because these American exports are popular around the world and the market isn't saturated in Asia or Europe like it is here in the U.S.
Kenny Rogers' Roasters was sold to a Malaysian firm in 2008 and has since become so big they now have 400 locations worldwide (more than they ever had in the U.S.), and they just opened their first restaurant in India.
Most of the photos taken of Princess Diana and Prince Charles contain an anomaly few people have noticed and even fewer remarked upon- Princess Di looks shorter than Charles in their pics, and yet they were the same height.
Did you assume Charles was taller too? Here's a photo that shows how they should have looked in the others.
So if Charles and Diana were around the same height (5'10") then why did the Prince always look so much taller than Di in their pics?
If you've watched the CW show Arrow then you know the star of the show Stephen Amell is in fantastic shape and rarely shies away from showing off his heroic bod and his parkour skills on the show.
The stunts Stephen does for the show, and the scenes where Oliver is training especially when he hits the salmon ladder, have made me wonder one thing since season 1- how would Stephen fare on the Ninja Warrior course?
If you were wondering the same thing then wonder no more, because Stephen finally tackled the American Ninja Warrior course for Red Nose Day 2017, proving he truly deserves to wear the Green Arrow's hood and quiver.
I've learned to live with clutter over the years because I like having stuff more than I like having everything totally organized, but when I need relief from my cluttered house I like to look in on the orderly.
HGTV's Alejandra Costello is officially one of the most organized people in America, and about six years ago she created this video tour of her home, aka "the most organized home in America".
Alejandra is full of good advice like- include the nutritional info and instructions when you transfer dry goods to airtight containers, use tackle boxes to sort out your stuff, and label everything clearly so you know where to find your stuff.
The heroes who star in video games have access to some pretty sweet equipment, and they don't mind telling us they deserve this stuff because they're the "chosen one" and wield "ultimate power".
But why do so many RPGs bother telling us the history, provenance and rarity of this loot when they know we're just going to turn around and sell it when we find something more level appropriate?
Because badasses need epic gear, even if they're gonna sell it for less than the price of a healing potion later. The Witcher, on the other hand, just sells artifacts and priceless heirlooms because he's kind of a jerk. (Comic by Teamwreckloose)
Scholars believe the Cyclops myth may have begun when people saw the skull of a prehistoric dwarf elephant and misidentified its nasal cavity as one large eye socket, leading them to believe monstrous one-eyed humanoids roamed the Earth.
Today we know people and animals born with one eye have a rare genetic disorder called Cyclopia, which is "characterized by the failure of the embryonic prosencephalon to properly divide the orbits of the eye into two cavities".
Animals born with this congenital disorder rarely live very long, but a baby goat born in Assam, India nicknamed "The Cyclops Kid" has defied all expectations and may live to see goat-dulthood.
The Cyclops Kid was born on May 10, 2017 at the home of Mukhuri Das, who feels the cute little guy is a blessing from God:
I was shocked. It’s like a miracle and people have been coming to our place to see this baby goat. …It’s my responsibility to take care of the baby goat. I have been feeding him like a normal goat. It might be something from God that the baby goat was born in our house. He So many people are coming to our place to see this baby goat…
Many celebrities are private and reserved people who don't like being interviewed and prefer to keep the questions they're asked to be about the project they're promoting.
But star of Quantico and the new Baywatch movie Priyanka Chopra doesn't mind letting interviewers dig a little deeper and she had no problem sharing some strange stuff with Joe Sabia of Vogue.
She shared the contents of her purse, revealed the extent of her impersonation skills and discussed the time she beat down a clown, as part of Vogue's 73 Q's series.
Mister Rogers has been relegated to the realm of childhood and therefore his wise words are seen as nothing but advice for kids.
But Fred Rogers shared some very sage advice during his lifetime, and his words of wisdom are just as valuable for adults as they are for children.
In fact, adults may get more out of these Mr. Rogers quotes than kids will if only because they'll actually remember his words and take them to heart, knowing he's right about life, love and the power of imagination.
In these dark and confusing times it's nice to know the words of Fred Rogers will live on forever, but who is listening?
Makeup fx artists usually focus on one genre or style, choosing to create pieces that are either horror, fantasy, or sci-fi inspired, but they all strive to make their pieces as realistic as possible.
In order to achieve this realism makeup artists use reference photos and study anatomy incessantly, so they can create pieces that are believable enough to sell the illusion and send chills down our spines.
But just because makeup effects have to be believable doesn't mean they can't be fun!
UK-based makeup artist David Harris creates special fx illusions that'll make you grimace and grin at the same time, and even though they'll make you feel sick they'll also put a smile on your face while you hurl.
People have come up with some pretty brilliant ways to help solve humanity's problems, helping people in need by inventing ways to ensure they have clean water, food, clothing, medicine and shelter.
And since viable shelter is one of the most important problems to solve and the problem with the most solutions it's not surprising so many inventors have focused on this problem.
But so far I've yet to see a semi-permanent housing solution that works as well as Brikawood- the weatherproof, fully recyclable and extremely durable interlocking wooden brick system that makes building shelter a snap.
Ferrofluid is a spooky looking substance that reacts to magnetic fields in really cool ways, and the fact that you can make it at home means everybody can experience the joy of owning their very own Venom Symbiote!
Okay, so ferrofluid isn't quite as cool as a Symbiote, and it won't destroy your entire town if it gets out, but as the CrazyRussianHacker discovered ferrofluid in a tube full of clear liquid makes for a pretty cool lava lamp.
A 450 mL glass Ferrofluid Motion Lamp with 15 mL of ferrofluid inside. Largest ferrofluid display on the market. Built to last. Patent Pending technology. Yes, The Inspiration also doubles as a motion lamp with rising blobs. The ferrofluid rises/falls on its own when the lamp is turned on, in the same manner as the famous lava lamp. Includes magnets.
I'll admit that I'm a sucker for throwback flicks, especially if they're made to capture that 80s movie vibe, and while I'm partial to the style I still recognize very few throwback films are worthy of more than one viewing.
So will the upcoming 80s throwback revenge film Night Run blow us away with its totally radical retro awesomeness?
Well it's no Kung Fury, Turbo Kid or Stranger Things, but it looks like a fun retro ride!
Night Run is directed by Erik Solis, who had this to say about the film:
Night Run is an action film set in 1985, filled with explosions, synth music, and a man who will stop at nothing to get his revenge. It's my love letter to the 80's, it's Death Wish meets The Wraith as directed by John Carpenter and scored by Jan Hammer. It's the ultimate 80's movie that never was.
When you think of miniature golf you probably picture castles and windmills, teenagers out on a date and tiny pencils, but over 50 years ago the Professional Putters Association turned mini golf into a pro sport.
Founded in 1959 by Don Clayton the PPA was “Founded with the purpose of finding the world’s greatest putter, to promote Putt-Putt Golf Courses of America and its franchised locations.”, and in 1961 they started televising their Parade Of Champions.
Professional wrestlers are a mighty fearsome bunch, and no matter what wrestling fans yell out while watching matches on their TVs at home they wouldn't have much to say if they met a pro wrestler in person.
A few even managed to fill their fellow wrestlers with fear, making their matches hurt quite a bit more than usual because they were total brutes, but nobody put a hurting on wrestlers like Tonga Fifita.
So what made King Tonga so fearsome? His brute strength and steel intensity:
Bobby Heenan
“The toughest man I’ve ever met in my life. “He took his two fingers on his right hand, his index finger and trigger finger, and he reached into a guy’s mouth and he broke off the guy’s bottom teeth.” Heenan added, ‘I wouldn’t have believed it, if I didn’t see it for myself.’ Bobby Heenan also claimed that Andre the Giant wasn’t afraid of anybody…except for Harley Race and Haku.
Rick Steiner
“I was in LA one time with him and he fought eight cops, they shot him with mace and he closed his eyes and sucked it in. He just opened his mouth and took a deep breath. I mean, some of the stuff he did was like ‘What the hell’. Scotty (Steiner)and I always thought we were tough guys but that was before we met Meng.”
Other stories include Fifita pushing a man through 3 doors with his bare hands and brute strength. He also admits to biting off a man’s nose for calling pro wrestling fake. He was later sued for over 2 million dollars because of that incident. Kevin Sullivan used Fifita as a threat to other wrestlers who wouldn’t cooperate or were difficult. When that would happen, Sullivan said he would bring Fifita into the room and have him stand there and the wrestlers would instantly work well with the plans.
Another story had Brutus Beefcake complain to WWF management that Fifita was working too stiff. When management confronted Fifita of the incident…Fifita went right after Beefcake. He found him in the shower and began choking him. It took management to ask Hulk Hogan to intervene and calm things down.
Please note that I never said wrestling was fake...King Tonga Rules! *grin*
