Man Survives Car Crash, Only To Be Hit And Killed By His Own Wife Trying To Help Him

According to the French newspaper Ouest-France, a 54-year-old man was driving in his car with his 16-year-old daughter until he hit a sharp bend on a road in a town in Northern France, called 'Carville'.

The car, after hitting the sharp bend, came off the road and rolled several times, then stopped. The man and his daughter crawled out of the car, surprisingly without any major injury. The man then called his wife to ask her to pick them up, however, the wife, who is reported to be 44-year-old, went to pick them up in a rush and accidentally hit the same sharp bend, came off the road and her car rolled into the same direction, hitting the husband and killing him instantly.

The wife and the daughter were later taken to a hospital where they were treated for minor injuries.

People are comparing the incident to something they would usually see in a 'Final Destination' film, a film series about a group of people escaping death while intended to die, and then death, as an unseen entity, kills them one by one to reclaim them to their final destination: inevitable death.

While others are saying that the woman could have intentionally killed her husband, knowing she would get away with it as it would be taken as an accident. The fact that the daughter was not hit and the husband is the only one killed is also causing doubt in people.

An 18 year old girl in India, called Mangli Munda, has been married to a dog called Shenu, against her will, by her father and fellow villagers in the Jharkhand state of India. The villagers and the girl's father say that the girl carries a curse and by getting married to the dog, the curse will be passed from the girl, to the dog.

The teenager, Mangli Munda, has stated that she is "not happy with the marriage", while the teenager's mother has stated that they have to spend money on the wedding as it is "the only way we can get rid of her bad luck" and to ensure good will towards her from the villagers.

The marriage was attended by the whole village.

The marriage is actually a part of a ritual in the village where young women are married to dogs before getting married to a man, which is believed to get rid of any bad luck the woman might possess and pass it onto the animal, causing the marriage to be blessed with longevity. Mangli Munda is not the first one to have been married to a dog due get rid of her curse, as the villagers have had many other girls married to dogs before.

The dog, Shenu, who is the groom of the wedding.

The marriage was carried out in the proper form of a Hindu wedding, with the dog Shenu being treated properly like a human groom is. The marriage is not legally binding, therefore allowing Mangli Munda to marry a human man now, as it is believed that her curse is now over.


The wedding was organized by the elders of the village after a local 'guru'

told Mangli Munda's parents that Mangli possesses bad luck and if she is married to a man, she would bring destruction and bad luck to the family and the people around her.


The girl, about getting married to the dog, said that she is not happy to being married to a dog, however, she is marrying the dog because "the village elders believe that my evil spell will be passed on to the dog. After that is done, the man I will marry will have a long life".

When asked whether she will marry a man now, she replied:


Yes, I will marry a man one day. Every girl dreams of marrying a prince.

Mangli Munda, the bride.

14 Years Old Dutch Girl Arrested For Sending Terrorist Threat To American Airlines and The US Airways Apologises For Tweeting Explicit Picture

The picture of the tweets of the girl who threatened the Airlines, and the Airlines' response to the girl.

A 14-year-old Dutch girl was arrested for tweeting a threat to the American Airlines' twitter account.

The girl was arrested in Rotterdam on Monday for tweeting the threat. The girl whose Twitter name is 'Sarah', tweeted to American Airlines that her name is "Ibrahim" and she's from Afghanistan, and that she's a member of Al Qaeda and would do something "really big"(picture above).

American Airlines eventually saw the tweet and replied to her that they take these threats "very seriously" and that her IP address and details will be "forwarded to security and the FBI"(picture above).

Following American Airlines' tweet, the girl panicked and post several tweets to American Airlines' twitter account, writing that she was "kidding" and that she's "so sorry" and "scared now". She kept on tweeting, writing that "I was just joking and it was my friend, not me, take her IP address not mine", along with other multiple tweets(picture above).

The Rotterdam Police Department then arrested her on Monday for the terrorist threats. The police department stated that the girl could face criminal charges for the tweet.

The girl was eventually released later, but remained a suspect, pending an investigation and that it is up to American Airlines to decide whether they want to press charges or not.

According to The New York Times, she later offered to auction her Twitter account and made a $500 starting bid, writing "I feel famous omg". But that went nowhere, as her Twitter account has been suspended.


However, the story does not end here. American Airlines most likely thought that this would set up an example for other internet trolls, but this just caused threatening American Airlines to become a threat, following hundreds of copy cats/terrorist threatening tweets to the American Airlines twitter.

Here are some of the hundreds(or perhaps thousands by now) of tweets sent to American Airlines:

And just when you think the story with American Airlines and Twitter accounts is over, a new incident takes the headline!

The Twitter account of US Airways replied to an unhappy customer with a pornographic image(picture below). 

The customer tweeted a complain to the US Airways' Twitter account over a delayed flight from North Carolina to Oregon. US Airways' replied to the tweet with the words "We welcome feedback, Elle. If your travel is complete, you can detail here for review and follow up.", accompanied by a picture of a naked woman with a toy/model plane(picture below). The picture wasn't removed until about an hour, causing countless retweets, jokes and parodies of it. 

The original picture was uncensored. This picture is censored to keep the article non-explicit.

US Airways later issued an apology, saying that the picture was "inadvertently included" in the response to the customer and that they "immediately realised the error and removed out tweet". 

The Twitter account also saw an apology from the US Airways over the pornographic tweet, saying that they've "removed the tweet" and are "investigating":

Mother and Son Commit Suicide After Having An Argument Over League of Legends

Photo Credit: DailyDot

In China, a 16 year old boy from Guangyuan in the Sichuan province headed straight to a local gaming cafe after school. The boy was an avid player of League of Legends. He did not return home by the evening, which worried his mother and she started searching every gaming cafe she could find and eventually found him. A loud argument broke out between the boy and his mother, in which his mother stated that:

You go online and I can’t control you, so I’ll just go die!

The mother then dragged her son to the banks of the nearby Jialing river and called her husband to tell him that she was going to kill herself. She walked out into the river and was quickly caught by the current, getting dragged under, with her son's attempts to save her in vain.

Then the father arrived and scolded and kicked his son. The son also plunged into the river himself, like his mother did. The father cried out and stated:

I also don’t want to live, I will go with you

But he was saved by cops before he could suicide like his wife and son did.

The mother and the son haven't been seen since and have been presumed dead. It is unknown what exactly led them to suicide, but it began with an argument over League of Legends. Although this is absolutely nothing to blame video games for, this will not stop the anti-gaming community to blame it on video games.

The Ultimate Warrior Dies At The Age of 54

Iconic and legendary WWE wrestler, the Ultimate Warrior, has passed away at the age of 54.

Days before his death, he had appeared on the "Monday Night RAW" event of WWE, where he gave a speech that people believe to have foreshadowed his own death. His speech was:

No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man's heart one day beats its final beat; his lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them believe deeper in something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory. You are the legend-makers of Ultimate Warrior.

Mr. Hellwig, who had legally changed his name to Warrior and went by the ring-name Ultimate Warrior, was one of the most influential and popular WWE stars of his career days. His career was 15 years long, spanning from 1985 to 98, with his most memorable years in the career being from 1987 to 91. His victory against Hulk Hogan on the Wrestlemania VI, becoming the WWE Champion is one of the most memorable matches in the history of Pro Wrestling.

WWE announced his death in a statement, with no cause of death revealed. The statement was:

WWE is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of the most iconic WWE Superstars ever, The Ultimate Warrior. Warrior began his WWE career in 1987 and quickly went on to become one of the biggest stars in WWE history. Warrior became WWE Champion at WrestleMania VI, defeating Hulk Hogan in an epic encounter. We are grateful that just days ago, Warrior had the opportunity to take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame and was also able to appear at WrestleMania 30 and Monday Night Raw to address his legions of fans. WWE sends its sincere condolences to Warrior’s family, friends and fans. Warrior was 54 and is survived by his wife Dana and his two daughters.

The Ultimate Warrior had recently been added into the Hall of Fame. After his death, many WWE personalities paid their condolences, such as Paul Heyman, Tripple H, Hulk Hogan, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Chris Jericho, and others. Fans are also very saddened by his loss and have mourned his death.

Woman Attempted To Be Robbed While Talking About The Crime Rate on Live TV in Brazil

A Brazillian woman nearly got robbed on live TV in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The woman, ironically, was giving an interview about the high crime rate and the lack of police in the area, when a thief appeared out of nowhere and attempted to snatch the woman's gold necklace.

However, as he grabbed it and tried to pull it off, it broke and fell, leaving him empty handed as he ran across the road in the on-coming traffic, while a member of the camera crew of the RJTV news-channel who were interviewing the woman tried to give him chase but failed due to the thief's high speed.

Samsung has officially announced that the Samsung Galaxy S5 and several new Samsung Gear devices: Samsung Gear 2, Samsung Gear 2 Neo, and Samsung Gear Fit are ready to be available in 125 countries in Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America, and most of Asia!

The CEO & President of IT & Mobile Communications Divisions at Samsung Electronics, JK Shin, has stated that:

The refined design and technological innovation of our new Galaxy S5 and Samsung Gear devices are the direct result of Samsung listening carefully to what consumers wanted in the next generation of mobile technology. We carefully crafted each device to offer a sophisticated, superior mobile experience that let consumers stay connected in their own way to focus on what really matters to them.

Facebook Is Removing Messaging From The iOS and Android App, Forcing Users To Use The Messenger

Facebook is removing the messaging feature from it's iOS and Android app, forcing users to use the Messenger app for messaging/chating with their Facebook friends. In certain European countries, users are already starting to see notifications that over the next few weeks they will have to install the Messenger app in order to continue sending and receiving Facebook messages on their smartphones.

A Facebook spokesperson told TheNextWeb that the company has found that the users get 20% faster replies on the Messenger app than on the normal Facebook app. He added that:

We have built a fast and reliable messaging experience through Messenger and now it makes sense for us to focus all our energy and resources on that experience. From this week onwards, more people will be notified of the change. Facebook will be removing the messaging feature from its Android and iOS apps in "a handful of countries" over the next couple of weeks. People will have several notices before this change takes place and will have opportunities to learn more about Messenger and its features.

According to TheNextWeb, the change wont affect low-end Android devices with memory constraints, which would allow them to chat with the normal Facebook app without having to download the Messenger app. The iPad Facebook app will also keep the messaging feature as well. Whether people accept the idea of having two Facebook apps for the full usage, is yet to be seen.

Woman Throws A Shoe At Hillary Clinton During Her Speech In Las Vegas

During her speech in Las Vegas on a stage, a woman threw a shoe at Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton ducked and dodged the shoe, and then joked about it saying:

Is that somebody throwing something at me? Is that part of Cirque de Soleil?

People in the audience laughed and applauded at Hillary Clinton's joke and she continued saying:

My goodness, I didn't know that solid waste management was so controversial. Thank goodness she didn't play softball like I did.

After the woman threw the shoe, she was quickly arrested. She admitted to throwing the shoe, however, did not tell why she did it. U.S. Secret Service supervisory special agent Brian Spellacy said the woman was being questioned and would face criminal charges. According to FoxNews, an attendee handed a piece of paper to a reporter that was apparently thrown by the woman, which was a copy of a Department of Defense document labelled confidential and dated August 1967, referring to an operation "Cynthia" in Bolivia.

The incident is similar to what happened in December 2008 in a news conference in Baghdad, when two shoes were thrown at former President George W. Bush, both which he dodged.

Well, it was Friday! Due to a very busy schedule and lots of technical issues, the article was delayed for 2 days! So, here are the Friday News Bits of this week!

Windows 8.1 Getting A New Update and The Return Of The Actual 'Start Button'

The Windows 8.1 Update:

Microsoft revealed some new updates for Windows 8.1 which will be out on April 8th. 

The new updates include:

• "Easier access to your favourite apps and key controls". The highlights of this is that the 'Start screen' will now contain a 'Power' button and a 'Search' button at the upper-right corner next to your account picture, which allows you to quickly shut down your PC and to quickly do a search right from the Start screen. (see picture below)

• Windows will automatically boot to the desktop instead of the Start screen on default settings.
• You can now pin both desktop and Windows Store apps, as well as your favourite websites on your taskbar. You can open and switch between apps right from the desktop as you can now pin any app you want. The taskbar will now also appear anywhere when you're using a mouse, simply moving the mouse to the bottom edge of the screen will make the taskbar appear and clicking any of the apps will switch to the app. 
• After installing the update, the Windows Store will now be pinned to the taskbar by default so "you can easily discover new apps". You can unpin it if you do not want it there. (see picture below)

• On the Start screen, right-clicking on an app tile will get a context menu next to the app tile that will show you what you can do with the tile, such as un-pinning it from the Start menu, pinning it to the taskbar, changing the tile size or uninstalling the app. The right-clicking on the apps is as simple as right-clicking on something located on the desktop. (see picture below)

• After installing new apps, you'll get a notification at the lower-left corner of the Start screen that will point you to the Apps view so you can see what you recently installed. (see picture below)

• The mouse will now work "more consistently anywhere in Windows". If you move the mouse to the top of the screen when using a Windows Store app, you will see the familiar Close and Minimize buttons that are seen in the explorer and such, and as mentioned before, moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen in a Windows Store app will also bring the taskbar up, from which you can switch through apps. (see picture below)

The Future Return of The Start Button:

Start menu's photo credit: LifeHacker

Microsoft has announced that sometime soon in the future, Windows 8 will get the actual Start button in another upgrade.

The start button(pictured above), looks similar to the classic Start menu button, but has a tiled interface on the right side, which looks similar to the Metro interface. It is debatable whether Microsoft should have added that new touch to the Start menu or not, because users just might complain that they do not like the Start menu because it has the tiles. But I, and pretty surely Microsoft, are hoping that doesn't happen!

EA Apologises For "Unacceptable" and "Stupid" April 1st Tweets By The Frostbite Twitter Account Mocking The Wii U

Our apologies to partners @NintendoAmerica & fan @FrostbiteEngine ’s poor attempt at April Fools not condoned by EA : unacceptable/ stupid
— Peter Moore (@petermooreEA) April 1, 2014

EA has apologised for the now-deleted tweets from the Frostbite Twitter account that mocked the Wii U.

The account holder of EA's Frostbite on Twitter made April 1st joke tweets, one of them which was very harsh on Nintendo's under-performing Wii U game console. The tweet read:

Frostbite now runs on the #WiiU since it is the most powerful Gen4 platform, our renderer is now optimized for Mario and Zelda.

After this was tweeted, it instantly came into the sight of the media and fans alike, being heavily criticised as rude and very harsh. The tweets were later deleted by EA and EA's  Chief Operating Officer(COO), Peter Moore apologised for the tweets to Nintendo and fans on his personal Twitter account(the tweet can be seen above), calling them "unacceptable" and "stupid".

Another Tweet from the Frostbite account that was tweeted alongside the harsh tweet was:

Frostbite will power #HalfLife3, coming out summer 2014! #WiiU exclusive.

EA has confirmed that there are no games being developed for the Nintendo Wii U currently.

Teenager Gets Stuck In A Drain While Trying To Rescue Her iPhone

Photo Credit: MailOnline

A 16 year old teenager from England, Ella-Anne Birchenough, dropped her iPhone in a drain while trying to put it inside her pocket. She removed the metal cover of the drain and lowered herself into the drain hole, trying to get her phone out, only to be ultimately stuck within the drain herself.

After unsuccessful attempts of getting her out of the drain by friends and her mother as well, emergency services had to be called. Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called by Ella-Anne's mother, Joanne Birchenough who is 36 years old, at 7:17PM and within 10 minutes, three firefighters appeared and pulled Ella-Anne out of the drain hole, freeing her at 7:26PM. Two rescue service men pulled Ella-Anne out, while another watched(picture of the scene above).

Many pictures of the incident were taken and it became a viral topic on Social Networks.

Ella-Anne Birchenough is a GCSE student at Astol College, and she had bought the phone only two weeks ago. She stated that:

I was talking to somebody and I went to put my phone in my pocket and it fell down the drain. I thought to myself 'I'm not leaving this' and I jumped down to get it. I wasn't really even stuck, I just need somebody to help lift me out but my mum got all panicky. When they pulled me out I ran straight home and jumped in the bath. I think it was just water but I wasn't taking any chances. I was just laughing the whole time, I have seen the funny side of it. You just have to laugh along with it. There have been a few nasty comments about me being fat which isn't nice but I'm trying not to take it to heart.

Ella-Anne was completely unharmed, however, according to a Facebook post of a friend of Ella-Anne, her phone has said to have been "completely ruined".

9-Month-Old Baby Accused of Attempted Murder in Pakistan

A nine-month-old baby boy named Muhammad Mosa Khan(pictured above) from the city of Lahore in Pakistan has been accused of attempted murder by the police, claiming that the baby had hit them with rocks. 

The baby had appeared in the court for a hearing, sitting on his father's lap and was bailed and not charged, with the main case being adjourned until April 12th.

The case is quite confusing. BBC News reports that the police had raid to catch suspected gas thieves in the city of Lahore, with the police saying that the suspects tried to murder security officers by throwing stones at them, and mentions that the Times of India newspaper quotes the baby's father saying the group of the protesters(30 people) were protesting against an electricity shortage.

While Time wrote that it was about an unpaid gas bill which the police went to collect(which was unpaid since February 1) and the family of the baby started throwing the rocks at the officers(according to the police), to which the police charged the family for, including the baby.

On the other hand, the Telegraph reported that according to one of the protesters, the police officers came with some people from the gas division to the town and randomly started cutting gas connections(possibly sent by a rival political party according to the person) and then the people of the town started protesting against the officers. Then some senior officers appeared and said no injustice will be done, only to later learn that all of the protesters, including the baby were charged with attempt murder.

Whatever story is true or whatever story is false, one thing is confirmed. The Chief Minister of Punjab, Shahbaz Sharif has suspended the police officer who registered the attempted murder case on the baby boy.

Microsoft Has Made Windows Free for Smartphones and Tablets

Microsoft has made Windows free for smartphones and tablets with screen sizes below 9 inches.

This means that manufacturers will no longer have to pay for Windows Phone licenses or for the small-screened(below 9 inches) Windows tablets.

This is a great step for the smartphone and tablets market, as manufacturers will now have the liberty to make devices without paying for the OS, like they already do with the Android OS. This could make Windows-powered smartphones and tablets more common in the market, opposing the Android-powered devices which are being developed at a rapid rate by even the local manufacturers of different countries.

Mozilla's CEO Brendan Eich Resigns Over The Anti-Gay Controversy

Mozilla's Chief Executive Officer(CEO) Brendan Eich, who is also a co-founder of Mozilla, has resigned due to the anti-gay controversy.

The whole thing started when it came into spotlight that Brendan Eich had donated $1000 to support California's anti-gay marriage Proposition 8 in 2008. As a result of this, websites started to protest. Rarebit withdrew from the Firefox OS, stating: 

We thought that last week Mozilla would immediately come out with a statement of support of equality and Brendan would issue an apology. Unfortunately, this has become a far larger issue and I'm not sure there is a solution that would please everyone.

A dating site called OKCupid also protested against Brendan Eich, blocking the browser Firefox, preventing Firefox users to accessing the site by forcing them to see a letter of protest written by OKCupid's co-founder Christian Rudder. After the resignation, the website was unblocked by OKCupid for Firefox users.

Mitchell Baker, the Executive Chairwoman of Mozilla posted on the Mozilla Blog about Brendan Eich's resignation in a post. In a long post, she stated:

Brendan Eich has chosen to step down from his role as CEO. He’s made this decision for Mozilla and our community. Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech. Equality is necessary for meaningful speech. And you need free speech to fight for equality. Figuring out how to stand for both at the same time can be hard. 

Brendan Eich later confirmed the news in his own statement on the topic of his resignation, stating that:

I have decided to resign as CEO effective today and leave Mozilla. Our mission is bigger than any one of us, and under the present circumstances, I cannot be an effective leader. I will be taking time before I decide what to do next.

While some have praised Brendan Eich for not changing his statement or apologising, and standing up to his opinion, other are against him for not supporting gay marriage. Brendan Eich has not stated what he will be doing next yet.

Woman Falls In A Well While Having Intercourse

A 21 year old Spanish woman was having a sexual intercourse with her partner, and fell down in a well after the waterwheel well shaft got loose, sending her down into the 15m water below. Rather than trying to rescue the woman, the man pulled up his pants and ran away.

The half-naked woman was having sex on a well near a park, and did not notice that the waterwheel well shaft had gotten loose, and ended up falling into the 15cm water below while being half naked from the lower body, not wearing any underwear. The partner quickly ran away instead of helping her out. 

Emergency services later received an anonymous phone call which may or may not have been the partner who fled the scene, and then Firefighters came to rescue the woman, with the partner nowhere near the scene. The Firefighters then rescued the woman.

The woman was suffering from shock and hypothermia, and was taken to the hospital. She was soaking wet and had no underwear. The woman was discharged from the hospital at 10AM the next day.

Chinese Woman Posts Her Suicide On Instagram

The woman did not have an eye-patch and both of her eyes were perfectly fine, she appears to block one eye in some of the pictures for style.

A Chinese woman from Shanghai has committed suicide, and posted her suicide process on Instagram. 

Instagram user 'jojostai1012'(pictured above), whose real name is not known, has been posting pictures with captions since two weeks ago, that state that she cannot get over her break-up with her boyfriend, detailing how the recent break-up has affected her life.

With one picture, she wrote:

Life has been so miserable these past few days. I want to forget all of this, to control my mood and not be crying painfully late at night every night, but I can’t do it, there’s nothing I can do. All of this is too unfair to me, I can't bear it.

She also posted a picture of a young man with the caption "I never thought that you'd deceive me, but I still love you". The man is presumed to be her boyfriend:

She posted a picture with the caption "I will haunt you day and night after I'm dead", aimed at her boyfriend who 'deceived' her:

Then on the day of suicide, she made a pile of her possessions and lit them on fire, and posted a picture of it with the caption "let it burn,  all the things like ashes float away":

She then posted a picture of herself with her legs out of a window, possibly uploaded right before she jumped and committed suicide:

What exactly happened after that, is unknown. But a picture of a woman lying dead on the ground with a similar parking lot was uploaded on the Chinese forum Mop and one person claimed to be jojostai1012's neighbour on the forum and stated

This is real, we live in the same building, she died Saturday morning. No matter what, how much courage must it have taken for a little girl to kill herself? Hope she will find peace in the afterlife.

The picture of the dead woman posted on the forum:

According to MailOnline, a person claiming to be jojostai1012's friend mourned her loss online and posted a screen-shot of a text message conversation he and jojostai1012 had earlier where she told him she was "going to leave". 

On the comment sections of The Daily Dot of the same news, a person claimed to be friends with people who were friends of jojostai1012 and confirmed her suicide and told a bit about jojostai1012's life:

Although the media still cannot figure out whether the suicide is real or just a hoax, it appears to be real. There is also confusion to the fact the Shanghai news media did not mention this incident, but the question raises whether the media there would report such an incident or not.

jojostai1012 also appeared to have a cat. Whether the cat was killed in the fire or freed, is unknown and not mentioned.

5 Strange Incidents Of 2013

2013, like any other year, has seen countless events and incidents of all kind. There are always odd things that come out every year, and as 2013 draws nearer to it's end, we took a look at some of the strangest incidents this year, and have chosen 5 of the strangest incidents, which could also include cool, hilarious and sad factors in them.

Iceland Judge Halts Road-Building Project To Prevent Disturbance for Elves

Image Source: Mirror News

A judge has ruled the pausing of a road-building highway project because it might have an effect on the 'Elves' living there. According to Mirror News, Elf advocates in Iceland joined forces with environentalists to prevent the Icelandic Road and Coastal Commission from building a road on the area believed to be home to Elves. Between the course of the to-be-built road, there is an 'Elf Church', and people believe that Elves might live around there and the road could destroy the church and the Elves. Since a campaign run by 'Friends of Lava' got a large support, the road project has been halted until the Supreme Court of Iceland rules the issue, either cancelling or building the road.

Chinese Woman Has Been Living Underground for 20 Years 


A 66 year old Chinese woman called Quan Youzhi has been living underground in the tunnels for over 20 years. Everyday she climbs down in the tunnels and spends the night there. She does not work there, but call the place home. The deserted underground compartment is near the Lido Park in the Chaoyang district, Beijing. The reason she told for living there is without a doubt, that she has no money. She lives there mainly in Winter because it is warm at the time, while in Summer she has to stay above-ground because it gets too hot in there. She has told that the officers shut down the lid but she opened her way down by using a saw when they left. Her 68 years old husband, Liu Wancang, lives in a similar tunnel but they rarely communicate because "he often quarrels with me".

The tunnels were blocked with cement by the local Jiangtai community authority.

Image Sorce :  Al-Arabiya Urdu

In Yemen, there are over 50 million weapons in use of citizens, and they are quite a regular thing there. Reported by Al-Arabiya comes this strangely cool report that security officers were travelling in two cars. The battery of one car finished up, so they used the battery of the other car to charge it. Now, the interesting part is that they did not have any electric cables, instead they connected AK-47 guns to the batteries as a source of sending energy to the batteries, and it worked out.


British Medical Journal Finds in Research That Roughly 1 out of 200 Pregnant American Women Claim To Be a Virgin

According to a research report published by British Medical Journal, it has been found that roughly 1 out of 200 pregnant American women claim to be a virgin, saying that they have never had sex. Out of 5,340 women who reported a pregnancy, about 45 women claimed to be pregnant without having sex.
