It looks like a scene out of a movie, doesn’t it?  Like The Birds 3:  Smoke Out! or something equally as cheesy and lame.  However, it’s not fake.  This is the scene that British tourists Tony and Judie Ellis (amusingly enough, from Crowborough in Sussex) caught on film in the Maldives, right next to their water villa.  A crow landed on the roof with a stolen pack of smokes, and soon three others joined him on the roof for a smoke break, with one of the crows handing out cigarettes to the other birds!

While the Maldives are known for some cheeky birds, Judy says this is weird even for those notoriously troublesome birds.  “We have been to the Maldives four times before but never seen any sort of crow behavior like that.  I was lucky to be able to record this on my camera.”

Seems like snakes aren’t the only creatures that need a smoke break.  I wonder where on earth the birds even got hold of a pack of smokes, let alone how they knew to get them out and put them in their beaks the right way.  Nature is weird.

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them! It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
