Totally Nuts

A photo of a squirrel clutching a snake in its paws- reportedly just before devouring it -- is taking the Internet by storm, perhaps because most people can’t fathom America’s favorite acorn-eater is capable of such violence.

Giant Redheaded Centipede Photo Goes Viral Horrifies the Internet

You don't have to be a Kardashian to

stand out on the Internet-all you need is at least 20 pairs of bright-yellow legs a gleaming red head and venomous fangs. Last week the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) posted a picture of a giant redheaded centipede to its social media pages that met all of the above criteria. The image quickly went viral. While many people reacted with horror (apparently giant colorful centipedes are the stuff of nightmares) this critter doesn't eat people or seriously harm them in any way (at least not usually).

familiar get-up of dungarees and yellow T-shirt.

this season Twitter exploded today with renditions of superheroes- if they were Indian. While some billed legendary Indian cricketers as the desi Fantastic Four, others posted Marvel's Avengers caught urinating in public. A series of illustrations by Delhi-based artist Raj Kamal, which became viral last year, were also re-circulated. The artist imagines Flash as a dabbawalaha tearing through streets of Mumbai delivering lunch and Spider-Man as a 'Punjabi who is naughty".

'Duck lanes' introduced in England! London: What a quacking idea! You would have heard of bus lanes taxi lanes and cycle lanes but now ducks in England have been

given exclusive lanes so that humans don't ruffle their feathers. The Canal and River Trust, which preserves over 2,000 miles of waterways throughout England and Wales, has created lanes exclusively for waterfowl in London, Birmingham and Manchester. This temporary initiative is part of the trust's "Share the Space, Drop your Pace" campaign, which encourages awareness among people - and now, animals using the waterside walkways of England. The Canal and River Trust has painted a white line demarcating areas to be used by the wildfowl with a stencilled silhouette of a duck.

Turn Off The Notifications On Your Phone. They're Ruining Your Life!

Just feeling your iPhone vibrate can impair your ability to focus. You know that texting or talking on

your cell phone while driving or walking is dangerously distracting, but new research finds that simply hearing your phone ring, ding or vibrate can destroy your focus.Even if you don’t pick up or look at the phone, you’ll start to think about who was trying to reach you, what they wanted and whether it was important, a new study from researchers at Florida State University found.The level of distraction from simply hearing the phone ring was comparable to the effects of texting while driving, Cary Stothart, a doctoral student in cognitive psychology who led the research, told The research was published late last month in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance. Push notifications are the hot new plague in smartphones.The phone calls were the most distracting, the study found. Those who received a call were 28 percent more likely to mess up the task than they were during the first round, those who received a text were 23 percent more likely to screw up, and those who received neither were 7 percent more likely to do worse. It's worth noting that almost all of the students had their phones set to vibrate and didn't take them out or look at them during the study.Calls were likely the most distracting because they're increasingly rare, especially among undergrads, Stothart said. "If they receive a call, it might be an emergency."So, there are two solutions to this problem. First, when you're driving or doing

something else that needs your full attention, you could truly silence your phone by setting it to “Do Not Disturb,” which is available for iPhones and some Android devices.Second, you could be a little more selective about which apps are allowed to notify you.

You can do this on your iPhone by going to Settings >> Notifications and then selecting the apps that you wish to interrupt you.

This Canadian Man Tied Balloons to His Chair and Took Off. Police Arrested Him. Toronto: A 26 year

old Canadian man was arrested after he flew high in the sky on a lawn chair attached to around 110 helium balloons in a potentially deadly stunt.Daniel Boria did the stunt, that cost him about USD 20,000, to

gain attention for his cleaning products business. Boria intended to parachute off the lawn chair into the Calgary Stampede, an annual rodeo in the area. However, he missed and ended up in a field.He said the stunt cost him about USD 20,000, including hiring an airplane to circle the Stampede grounds with a banner advertising his company.While he was released yesterday, Boria has been charged with one count of mischief causing danger to life.The charge of mischief is related to the lawn chair, which could cause damage or hurt someone when the balloons pop and it falls to the ground, police said.

This Robot Might Get Your Feelings Better Than Your Friends Do "You look a bit thin," it coos in a soft childlike

voice, free of any rigid mechanical accent. "You should watch what you eat.”The 121-centimeter (four-foot) tall white machine-on-wheels was disarmingly charming and definitely intriguing when I spent half a day with it, ahead of its delivery to its first customers later this month.It's another matter entirely whether it's worth the price tag of 198,000 yen ($1,600), plus the maintenance and insurance costs that ownership entails, adding up to some 1.2 million yen ($10,000) for an estimated three-year lifespan.Pepper has cameras, lasers and infrared in its hairless head so it can detect human faces. Whatever direction you move, its cocked head will also move, intently looking into your face with its big eyes, like a puppy. Except this pet can talk.As long as you don't walk too far from it, removing yourself from its attention, Pepper will prattle on and on, switching from one small talk topic to another, gesticulating at times with its five-fingered soft hands for effect.
