And now for something completely different. Footage has been going around showing doctors pulling a LIVE fish from a poor man’s throat.
The incident is believed to have originated from Malaysia. The video shows the man crying in pain as doctors try to pull the fish out of his mouth with forceps. As the fish is finally removed, it can be seen covered in blood as it flutters and twitches on a layer of white cloth. No one knows how the fish got in the man’s mouth—honestly, we don’t want to know.
In unexpectedly gross-but-cute news, a veterinarian revealed why dogs stare at their humans whenever they poop. According to Dr. Kathryn Primm, it’s a matter of safety. Whenever animals take a dump, they’re left in a vulnerable state. While they’re pooping, they’re prone to various dangers and they’re well aware of it. They’re defenseless. Think about it, you can’t really defend yourself while last night’s dinner and drinks are emerging cornhole right? However, dogs are aware that you’re their masters, you’re their humans. You’re their friend. They stare at you as a means of reassurance that you got their back and that you’re willing to defend them. Awwwww (or something like that).
When a dog stares while they poop, it’s “reassuring.” When I stare at other people while I poop, I’m called a “pervert.” Double standards. Go figure.
One of life’s greatest mysteries is solved. Youtube series AsapSCIENCE revealed that escaping the sound of a fart is impossible task. An average fart can travel 340 meters per second. Forget about escaping the stench too as Skatole, one of the compounds found in farts (and responsible for the stomach-turning smell), can travel at 243 meters per second. The good news? Only 1 percent of farts produce the smell that Satan somehow concocted. So basically, there’s still no escape. Fart in an elevator so everyone can savor the moist aroma of your gas. Also, this is good news for people who love the smell of their farts. No running away needed! Just savor the moment.
A monster’s body parts were recently uncovered in Loch Ness—just not the monster we were expecting. Norwegian company Kongsberg Maritime discovered the remains of a Loch Ness monster prop used for the 1969 movie The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes 590 feet beneath the surface. Konsberg Maritime used an underwater robot equipped with cameras and sonars to make the discovery.

For researchers, the discovery of the model is only the beginning as they set off to uncover more information on Loch Ness’ murky depths.
