10 Creatures With Crazy Faces
Animals While a couple of the entries on this list have been featured on other lists in the past, most have not. This list looks at a variety of creatures (some well known, others not at all) that have very unusual facial features. Be sure to add your own favorites to the comments. This denizen of the abyss is very small (the largest species known is only 12 cms), and completely harmless, but its face is the stuff of nightmares. Found in the rain forests of the Philippines, this endangered bat has one of the strangest faces among mammals. A species exclusive to lake Xochimilco, in Mexico, the axolotl (meaning “water monster” in nahuatl, the language of the Aztec) is actually a kind of salamander. Arguably the weirdest primate around (not counting humans, of course), the aye-aye has huge bat-like ears, crazy yellow eyes and, generally speaking, would not look out of place in a Gremlins remake. This fish has such a weird face that one can only wonder why it isn’t more famous.

5 Diabolical Animals That Out-Witted Humans
Whether or not humans are the smartest species on the planet really depends on which animals and which humans you base it on. After all, sometimes when people match wits with members of the animal kingdom, it doesn't turn out well for the humans. Mud Creek Grizzly vs. Scientists What's the most badass job in science? Like the other notable smart bear Yogi, the MCG found maiming to be pedestrian, and preferred the more subtle route of professional sabotage. The researchers set up their bear catchi- um, bear research station, complete with traps, bait and cameras. First, he tore down the markers left to show the path to the site--we assume this is because he didn't wish to be disturbed while he wreaked his revenge on his tormentors. Once his work was done, MCG stopped and scanned the crime scene. That's right; our grizzly hero, despite being from a part of the world where surveillance cameras are relatively uncommon, spotted and pulled down the camera and beat the shit out of it. A bear?
10 Curious Tales and Oddities From History
Weird Stuff What could be better? The bizarre and history combined in one list! It is a well known fact that I love both subjects (and facts and factlets), so this list really has been a joy to put together. In 1900, Maria Salome (20 years old) made her grand debut as the first female bullfighter. When Pope Paul VI died, in 1978, it was the mark of the beginning of the year of three Popes. Speaking of strange deaths, in 1979, a 58 year old man and his 53 year old wife died from spending too much time in their hot tub in California. The Phantom time hypothesis is a theory developed by Heribert Illig (born 1947) in 1991, which proposes that there has been a systematic effort to make it appear that periods of history, specifically that of Europe during the Early Middle Ages (AD 614–911) exist, when they do not. In 1821, the Ottoman empire occupied Greece. Jane Rebecca Yorke was an English medium who was the last person convicted under the Witchcraft Act of 1735. Jamie Frater

Events
We have experienced dozens of brand and product launches. Much of the time, we are not impressed. Small baby-steps, same-old-same-old, reiterations of existing and stale ideas, broken brand promises, confusing off-brand presentations, mind-numbing marketing-speak, boring PR. Blah blah blah. No matter how much we are lavished and pampered with free trips and swag, if we are not impressed, we are not impressed, and we will not write about it. That is the integrity you our readers expect of us, and we expect it of ourselves, too. We’ve attended Mercedes launches before and not written about them. Waiters in black t-shirts with tuxedo print which makes it look like a short sleeve jacket - cool idea We love it that Mercedes is really trying to do something different. Santagold performing The festival runs from April 20 to May 6 and it is free and open to the public. With the release of the A class later this year, Mercedes started to approach the younger, savvy consumer market.
Thinking the Way Animals Do
By Temple Grandin, Ph.D. Department of Animal Science Colorado State University Western Horseman, Nov. 1997, pp.140-145 (Updated January 2015) Temple Grandin is an assistant professor of animal science at Colorado State University. As a person with autism, it is easy for me to understand how animals think because my thinking processes are like an animal's. I have no language-based thoughts at all. Most people use a combination of both verbal and visual skills. A radio station person I talked to once said that she had no pictures at all in her mind. Associative Thinking A horse trainer once said to me, "Animals don't think, they just make associations." Animals also tend to make place-specific associations. Years ago a scientist named N. Fear Is the Main Emotion Fear is the main emotion in autism and it is also the main emotion in prey animals such as horses and cattle. Both animals and people with autism are also fearful of high-pitched noises. Fear-based behaviors are complex. References
20 Smartest Animals in the World
Are parrots really smarter than a 3-year-old child? Do pigs really sing to their young? Do elephants really bury their dead and visit the graves of their relatives? Humans have always considered ourselves the smartest creatures on Earth, but new research has revealed that other animals are much smarter than we ever thought possible. Chimpanzees: Chimpanzees are very closely related to human beings, so it makes sense that they would have the ability to manipulate their environment, use tools and work together as a group to accomplish tasks.
