Beluga Whale Saves Diver’s Life

“It looks like a moment of terror – a diver finds her leg clamped in the jaws of a beluga whale. In fact, it was a stunning example of an animal coming to the rescue of a human life. Yang Yun, 26, was taking part in a free diving contest without breathing equipment among the whales in a tank of water more than 20ft deep and chilled to Arctic temperatures.She says that when she tried to return to the surface, she found her legs crippled by cramp from the freezing cold. At that point Mila the beluga took a hand, or rather a flipper.” w/ photos

The Artistic Bench

“This designer is perhaps most well known for his remarkable wooden spaghetti benches in which the normal ends of wood slats become the beginning of a seemingly living form that twists and turns away from the conventional shape of the bench itself – and just imagine what an outdoor version of this bench would look like against, for example, an ivy-covered brick wall.” w/ photos

World’s Strangest Beauty Pageants

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or so they say. If that is true, then these contests indicate that some peoples’ eye for beauty is nearsighted and cross-eyed. Be warned, some of these may cause an overwhelming desire to pluck out your eyes and run them through the sanitize cycle on your dishwasher.” w/ photos

Pioneers Lose First Cheese In Space

“It was supposed to be a small step for a cheese – and a giant leap for cheesekind. But attempts to send the first lump of cheddar into space ended in disaster yesterday when organisers lost track of their precious payload minutes after lift-off. The stunt – which owes more to good old British eccentricity than Neil Armstrong – was an attempt by a West Country cheesemakers’ group to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Moon landings. At 4.30am, they launched a weather balloon attached by a pole to a capsule containing a digital camera, a GPS tracking device and a 300g lump of Somerset farmhouse cheddar glued to a plate. It was supposed to fly 19 miles into the upper atmosphere before the balloon burst and the capsule floated back to earth on a parachute. But within ten minutes of taking off the tracking system failed.” w/ photos
