This couple took PDA waaaaaaaaaay too far. A man and woman were filmed having sex at a Barcelona train station in full view of commuters.
The horny pair shed their pants but kept their tops on (thank goodness) as they banged away at a station’s benchmeant for waiting passengers. The bonking took place early Sunday morning at Barcelona’s Liceu station, which is situated at an area popular with tourists. Authorities are now looking for the pair and they could face incivility charges.
In today’s age of people taking urban legends seriously, a woman died when she was struck by an oncoming train while investigating the Goatman legend with her boyfriend. The couple was part of a haunted tour of Waverly Hills. Knowing about the myth, Roquel Bain and her boyfriend wandered off from the tour to find the Goatman themselves. It is believed that the monster appears when someone crosses a train’s trestle. Thinking the train station was abandoned, the couple stepped on the tracks and that’s when tragedy struck. Bain flew 80 to 100 feet when she was hit by the train. Her boyfriend somehow managed to survive with no injuries.
Dinosaurs and birds are a lot alike, what with new findings suggesting that land predators such as the T-Rex had feathers. Scientists are still exploring the link between the two, and University of Chile biologist Alexander Vargas was recently successful in growing a dinosaur leg on a chicken. In an interview with Munchies, Vargas explained how they were able to achieve success in this breakthrough. “We inhibited a maturation gene called Indian Hedgehog (IHH), and that allowed the fibula to keep on growing and this resulted in a chicken that’s like the old dinosaurs. It had a complete fibula reaching down to its ankle,” said Vargas. The findings show that you can still find dinosaur leg traits in birds and shows how evident the link is between birds and dinos, he added. However, don’t expect to see velociraptor legs available on your favorite fast food restaurants anytime soon, as this was done strictly for experimental purposes.
Creepy as they may be, no one can resist a good urban legend story. The fine folks at Reddit recently compiled the most insane urban legends they heard, and some of them are downright terrifying. Take a look:
The Whistler:
The Poinciana Woman:
The Wendigo:
Well, looks like we’re going to sleep with the light on for the next few weeks.
