And You Thought You Were Having a Bad Day? (Gawker)


The Fantastic Journey of the Snail That Can Survive Being Pooped Out By a Bird


Max ReadScience! What would we do without you? Certainly we would never know the marvelous story of Tornatellides boeningi, the snail that can survive being eaten, digested, and pooped out by a bird.

Japanese white-eye birds, native to the island of Hahajima, Japan, love to eat T. boeningisnails. ("Four stars!" peeps the little Japanese white-eye Sam Sifton.) Scientists had long assumed (or, really, not given much thought to the whole concept) that all those snails died, due to being eaten by a bird.

But no! In a controlled laboratory experiment, Japanese biologists found that some 15 percent of the snails survived their adventure through the poop-parts of the white-eye. (One even gave birth to little snail babies right after being pooped!) Not only is this a neat party trick, but it actually seems to be the reason the snails have migrated so far across the island:

"Biogeography of wingless terrestrial invertebrates, in particular snails, is often faced with mysterious long distance dispersal patterns that can only be explained by hand waving arguments involving birds' feet or guts or cyclones," said [researcher Shinichiro] Wada. 
"This is the first study showing that birds can indeed transport a substantial [number of] micro land snails in their gut alive."

Son to Mom - are my feet normal?  Mom to Son - I'm sorry son, they were all out of size 3's, you'll just have to grow into them.



Mouse to Camera guy - I think I'm screwed this time.
 So Mr.  Twan, what did you do today?  I made shoes for my duck.
 This is so cute.
 And now for a different perspective, from a face plant point of view.

Recently few websites and forums published the information about artificial hymens being popular among Chinese women who want to fake their virginity. These hymens are distributed under the brand of “Joan of Arc”, who is also known by the name “Virgin of Orleans”.
The funny fact is that these hymens are coming packed TWO in a wooden box or paper bag. That’s really weird. Why two? Wouldn’t just one be enough? Well, I’ll leave this question to the consideration of readers and meanwhile will provide the adapted translation of website homepage, distributing this irreplaceable (?) product.

The Cow Jumped over the Moon (OK not quite)

One enterprising German teenager refused to give up her dream when her parents said she couldn't have a horse.

Regina Mayer, the 15-year-old bovine showjumper, grabbed the bull by the horns and spent two years training Luna, the family's cow, to clear fences.

Al Jazeera's Hazem Sika has more on the tale.
