Snake makes a sudden appearance on driver's sssssside window Posted: 10 Jan 2018 06:20 PM PST Snakes are relatively common in Australia, but perhaps less so coiled up on people's cars. A driver got quite the surprise when a venomous red-bellied black snake made an appearance on the side of his car on Wednesday. SEE ALSO: Nightmare alert: 5-foot snake found hiding in someone's toilet in Texas According to ABC News, driver Ted Ogier was driving back from the New South Wales town of Eden for work, when suddenly a snake slithered from under the bonnet to curl around the driver's side mirror. Oh, and it wanted in. "It was sort of tapping on the window a couple of times, because it obviously wanted to get in," Ogier told the news outlet. The snake was estimated to be about 2.5 metres (8 feet) long, and Ogier got a co-worker to remove the reptile with a broom. It's likely the snake crawled in to the engine bay, seeking a bit of warmth. While red-bellied black snakes are highly venomous, they are a shy snake, preferring to flee and will only bite if you seriously try and annoy it, according to the Australian Museum.

New York's Donald J. Trump State Park: A story of abandonment and decay Posted: 11 Jan 2018 03:18 AM PST Signs for Donald J. Trump State Park are still visible on Taconic State Parkway in New York, even though the park is overrun with weeds and brambles. A subject of local debate and some controversy, the neglected land shows what happens when real property donated to the state for public use isn't maintained for years. |
Rescuers search for victims as California mudslide toll hits 17 Posted: 10 Jan 2018 07:33 PM PST Rescuers used dogs and helicopters to search for victims on Wednesday of powerful mudslides which left at least 17 people dead in a southern California community that is also home to major celebrities including Oprah Winfrey. Heavy rains on Tuesday sent rivers of waist-high mud and debris flowing from the hills into Montecito and other towns in Santa Barbara County northwest of Los Angeles, which are still recovering from last month's ferocious wildfires. At least 28 people were injured, authorities said, while 30,000 remained subject to mandatory evacuation orders. |

Africa calls Trump racist after "shithole" remark Posted: 12 Jan 2018 07:37 AM PST By Ed Stoddard and Chris Mfula JOHANNESBURG/LUSAKA (Reuters) - African politicians labelled U.S. President Donald Trump a racist on Friday after he was reported to have described some immigrants from Africa and Haiti as coming from "shithole" countries. Sources told Reuters on Thursday that Trump had questioned why the United States would want immigrants from "shithole countries" like Haiti and some African countries during a briefing on draft immigration legislation. |

China denies report it could halt US bond purchases Posted: 10 Jan 2018 08:58 PM PST China on Thursday denied a report that it may slow or cease its purchases of US Treasury bonds, which sent the dollar falling. Bloomberg News reported Wednesday that officials reviewing China's foreign-exchange holdings had recommended slowing or halting purchases of US Treasuries, citing people familiar with the matter. "We think this story could be quoting a mistaken source or it could also be a piece of fake news," the State Administration of Foreign Exchange said in a statement on its website. |
Mangled cars show the raw destructive power of California mudslides Posted: 11 Jan 2018 06:01 PM PST If anyone doubted the sheer destructive power of the mudslides that have devastated Southern California this week, a video posted to Instagram Thursday should hammer the point home. SEE ALSO: Photos: California's wildfires make way for destructive mudslides The video, which was uploaded by The Knight Show podcast and verified by Storyful, hovers over two utterly mangled blobs of crushed steel and twisted plastic on Hammonds Beach in Santa Barbara. One of the unlucky cars, which had made a trip down Montecito Creek following heavy rain in the region, was apparently an H3 Hummer.

Saudi-led coalition says Yemen rebels threat to ships in Red Sea Posted: 11 Jan 2018 03:49 AM PST A Saudi-led coalition has warned Yemen's rebels threaten ships in the Red Sea through their control of a key port, days after rebel warnings over a coalition blockade. "The port of Hodeida is a launching pad for terrorist operations threatening navigation in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait," coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said late Wednesday.

Russia's army warns of 'terrorist' drones after attacks Posted: 11 Jan 2018 12:05 PM PST Russia's defence ministry on Thursday said it was concerned about the threat of drones used "for terrorist purposes" following recent attacks on Moscow's bases in Syria. Ten drones equipped with explosives attacked Russia's airbase in Hmeimim in the early hours of January 6, while three others targeted its naval base in the port of Tartus, according to the military. The defence ministry said there were no casualties or damage in the incidents, but warned that similar technology could be used to wage terror anywhere in the world. |

Girl plays ‘Star Wars’ Cantina theme with a pencil, is groundbreaking math genius Posted: 11 Jan 2018 10:56 AM PST What you're about to watch is the work of a name you should remember: Dani Ochoa. Dani, who characterizes herself as "a girl with too much time on her hands" is also, apparently, a goddamn math genius. She figured out how to play the Mos Eiseley Cantina theme from "Star Wars." With a pencil. While writing. While writing a coherent and apparently working math equation. And not just a working math equation. But a working math equation that produces, yes, the number of the speed of light. A sampling of crowdsourced math-checked, via the Reddit Video thread, found this: Yeah, look, we work for a website, half this industry barely squeaked by Algebra 2—we don't know if the math actually checks out, but sure as hell sounds legit. Anyway, bottom line, here: Dani Ochoa deserves a MacArthur Grant. With a little more time on her hands, she's gonna send us into the fifth dimension and find a new planet where we can live. There, phrases like "Steve Bannon" don't exist. All hail. WATCH: Star Wars fans worldwide are attending lightsaber schools |
