Incredible Aqualung Spider

“Sometimes we humans think we’ve got it all sown up when it comes to inventing ingenious means for surviving in environments we weren’t meant to last two minutes in. The astronaut is a case in point; so too the archetypal deep sea diver. Yet while the image of a man in a cumbersome metallic suit with a cross between an armored helmet and a goldfish bowl on his head might strike you as inspired, it starts to look a little foolish when compared with the grace of a kitted up diving bell spider.” w/ photos

Rare Deer Born At Zoo

“A rare tufted deer was born at the National Zoo’s Conservation and Research Center in Virginia on July 16. The deer was the fourth species to give birth in one week, joining the clouded leopards, Przewalski horses and red pandas in welcoming new members to the Zoo family. Tufted deer, called that for the tuft of hair on their forehead, are native to the forests of southern China. They are usually found within giant panda reserves. The animal is difficult to trace in the wild because of its elusive habits—it travels alone, or with a single mate, in the late evening or at dusk. But wildlife experts say that some 100,000 are killed annually by local hunters. The IUCN lists the species as near threatened; and even captive animals are rare with fewer than 110 living in U.S. zoos.” w/ photo

Illegal Silicone Butt Injections

“Five months after two women were hospitalized with serious injuries from illegal silicone injections they thought would enhance their rear ends, Sharhonda Lindsay has admitted to giving the shots. In court Monday, Lindsay pleaded guilty to two counts of practicing medicine without a license and was sentenced to four years’ probation. Lindsay, 33, would have gambled with a maximum five-year prison sentence for each charge had the case gone to trial. Now, along with her probation, Lindsay will have to make restitution to her victims, Andrea Nicole Lee, 30, and Zakiya Thema Teagle, 34, who each spent three weeks at Town & Country Hospital with renal and liver failure. A prosecutor said Lindsay’s debt to her victims exceeds $500,000. Hillsborough Circuit Judge Ronald Ficarrotta will reserve judgment on restitution until a firm number is set.” w/ photo

8 Vehicles You Should Never Operate Drunk

“If we can’t successfully operate vehicles with two pedals and a steering wheel, with a .09 alcoholic blood level without slamming into a deli, then we should never get behind the touch pads, handle bars, joy sticks or laser cannons of any of these sci-fi vehicles… Here are the 8 sci-fi vehicles you should never operate drunk.” w/ photos + videos
