New Study Shows Dolphins Recognize Their Friends By The Taste Of Their Urine Wikimedia Commons | The study showed dolphins can recognize each other through taste alone – unlike any other vertebrate. While humans can easily recognize friends by their faces, bottlenose dolphins don’t have that luxury. Instead, these aquatic mammals generally identify each other with signature whistles that serve as names, but a new study has just showed that they’re also familiar with each other’s urine — and can identify their friends by tasting it. According to VICE, this research project — conducted by scientists from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and the Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas — set out to learn more about dolphins’ “signature whistles,” the specific calls they use to refer to...More Go top of page Go bottom of page |

This Jewish WW2 Refugee Just Reunited With Her Long-Lost Daughter — Who She Placed Up For Adoption In 1942 Gerda Cole was a destitute World War II refugee when she placed her newborn daughter in the care of a German couple in England in 1942. Agreeing never to communicate with her child again, the 18-year-old Austrian forged ahead and put her past behind her. On Cole’s 98th birthday, however — the two reunited. According to the CBC, 79-year-old Sonya Grist thought her mother was long dead.

We may finally know why so many lifelong smokers never get lung cancer Image source: Keystone-SDA/Shutterstock Scientists may have discovered why lifelong smokers never get lung cancer. That sentence probably seems silly, especially given that cigarettes are the number one risk factor for lung cancer. Despite tobacco products being the cause of 90 percent of deaths, lifelong smokers somehow tend to avoid getting lung cancer. Now, science may have finally figured out why that is. According to new findings published in Nature Genetics, DNA repair genes could be keeping some smokers from getting lung cancer. Researchers found an inherent advantage in many smokers that never...More Go top of page Go bottom of page |

When police first answered a 911 call about an “unresponsive man” lying in his yard in Trenton, South Carolina, it seemed like a simple tragedy. Authorities found Joseph McKinnon dead of a heart attack, but then they also found the body of his girlfriend, Patricia Dent, in a nearby pit. McKinnon, police realized, had died while trying to bury his girlfriend’s body. “Evidence gathered at the scene, along with statements from witnesses aided investigators to build a timeline, leading us to believe that Mr. McKinnon attacked Ms. Dent while inside their home,” Sheriff Jody Rowland and Coroner David Burnett of Edgefield County...More Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Woman Gored By Bison At Yellowstone National Park After Getting Too Close A Memorial Day trip to Yellowstone National Park turned into a nightmare for one woman, who was gored by a bison and tossed ten feet into the air after she got too close to the animal. According to a statement from the National Park Service (NPS), the 25-year-old woman from Grove City, Ohio, crossed paths with the bison as it walked near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, north of Old Faithful. The woman approached the animal, coming within 10 feet of it. “Consequently,” the NPS explained, “the bison gored the woman and tossed her 10 feet into the air.” Park emergency medical providers rushed to the scene and transported the woman — whose identity has not been released — to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.

25 weird rules about being a British royal The queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations mean the royal family will be in the spotlight even more than usual. Most of the family (and most of London) is celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's 70th year on the throne the first weekend in June, with a line-up of public appearances, parades and concerts. Leading a country for seven tireless decades is obviously impressive enough, but Her Majesty's extensive tenure becomes even more remarkable once you start digging into the traditions associated with being a British royal. And by traditions, we really mean rules — lots and lots of rules. Turns out, being any member of the royal family (queen or otherwise) is not as easy and carefree as it looks in the movies.

Man Convicted Of Brutally Murdering Own Father After Being Cut Off Financially Public Domain | Leighton Dorey IV was convicted of first-degree murder with a special circumstances allegation of torture. When paramedics arrived at the scene, Leighton Dorey III was covered in so much blood they believed he had been shot. The 71-year-old hadn’t been gunned down, however, and nor was an intruder to blame.

According to Law & Crime, Leighton Bromiluy Dorey IV was convicted of first-degree murder with a special circumstances allegation of torture.

Paleontologists In China Just Identified A Short-Necked, Head-Butting Ancestor Of The Giraffe Wang et al., Science | A depiction of Discokeryx xiezhi, a distant, shorter-necked relative of modern giraffes. Why do giraffes have long necks? The easy explanation, according to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, is that the animals grew long necks to reach food. But the discovery of an ancient giraffe relative called Discokeryx xiezhi supports the “necks-for-sex” hypothesis, which suggests that giraffes developed long necks in order to effectively compete for mates. In a study published in Science, paleontologists described how they discovered part of a D. xiezhi skull in China’s Junggar Basin in 1996. According to The New York Times, they referred to it as the “strange beast” for years because they weren’t quite sure what it...More Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Inside The Brutal Life And Gruesome Death Of King Henry II Of France Wikimedia Commons | King Henry II of France, by François Clouet. 1559. King Henry II of France was known for his brutality against Protestants. He would burn heretics alive and cut out the tongue of anyone who dared utter a word of dissent against the Catholic Church. But the monarch faced a gruesome death of his own when he was stabbed through the eye by a lance during a jousting tournament in 1559. The not-so-noble ruler was also famous for his many affairs. In fact, his long-time mistress Diane de Poitiers became one of the most influential women in France during Henry’s reign. But Henry was also an effective leader.

Meet Paul Alexander, The Man Who’s Lived In An Iron Lung For 70 Years Monica Verma/Twitter | Paul Alexander, the man in the iron lung, was placed there when he was stricken with polio at just six years old — and he’s still there today. The life of Paul Alexander could easily be viewed as one of tragedy: A man who cannot breathe on his own, paralyzed from the neck down for seven decades due to polio. However, Paul Alexander never let his polio or his iron lung stand in the way of him living his life. The iron lung is a pod-like, full-body mechanical respirator. It breathes for you since you cannot take in oxygen normally. If you’ve contracted paralytic polio, you’ll die without the support of the iron lung and you virtually cannot leave it. In fact, all the doctors believed Paul Alexander would die back in 1952, when he...More Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Meet Adam Weishaupt, The German Philosopher Who Founded The Illuminati In 1776 Public Domain | Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati with the hopes that his secret society would spread Enlightenment principles across Europe. If conspiracy theorists are to be believed, then the Illuminati rule the world. They count celebrities like Jay-Z among their members, and they’ve orchestrated some of history’s key moments. Yet the truth about the group, and its founder, Adam Weishaupt, is less dramatic. Weishaupt, a German law professor, had big dreams when he gathered a small group of students and created the Illuminati in 1776. A believer in the principles of the Enlightenment, he sought to create an organization that could act as a counterweight to religion. For a while, it seemed to work. Weishaupt’s organization spread swiftly across...More Go top of page Go bottom of page |
