4. Mother and son prepared to go to jail to defend their sexual relationship

In New Mexico, 36-year old Monica Mares and her 19-year old son Caleb Peterson face up to 18 months in prison if found guilty of incest at a trial later this year.

Peterson engaged in a relationship with his mother after reconnecting and moving in with her last Christmas. Mares gave birth to her Caleb when she was 16, but had to give him up for adoption not long after. They decided to go public with their relationship to raise awareness for Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA), the Daily Mail reports. The condition is described as incest among close relatives who first meet as adults.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Mares said “’He is the love of my life and I don’t want to lose him. My kids love him, my whole family does. Nothing can come between us; not courts, or jail, nothing.” The mother of nine also said she’s willing to risk her right to see her other children just to be with Caleb.

Mares and Peterson have now been kept apart until their hearing in September. Somehow, we think Cersei and Jamie Lannister are totally supportive this.

16-year old Fauna Jackson, who was missing and presumed dead in a bear-infested area, has been found in safe under mysterious circumstances. Jackson was volunteering in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park. She left her group to go to the bathroom but never returned.

More than 100 people conducted an extensive search in the park’s 310,000 acres but there was no sign of her in the area. She was found 48 hours after her disappearance in Snake River Overlook, around four miles from where she was last seen.

However, she looked completely different. Her hair was dyed a different color and cut shorter, and managed to change her clothes. She also ran away from the authorities when she was found. Upon catching up with her, she was brought to St. John’s Medical Center for a checkup.

Authorities and Jackson herself have still no explanation on her odd behavior. The good thing here is that she’s alive and well after two days in freezing temperatures in BEAR-infested woods.

2. #BeardsFromBelow trends on social media, please make it stop

Who asked for this and why do some people choose to be the way they are?

#BeardsFromBelow is trending on social media wherein bearded men swing their head up and take a photo of the underside of their beard and the results make us feel queasy. Some of them look like nightmarish versions of Trolls and Beaker from the Muppets, and some downright look like pubes.

Judge for yourself:

Well, whatever keeps you happy and as long as it’s not hurting anyone (just making people feel uncomfortable), then there’s no reason to lose hope in humanity just yet. Just stay away from comments sections.

1. Olympic diving pool inexplicably turns from blue to green. Athletes, please make sure you shower.

Ermmm…what happened?! pic.twitter.com/pdta7EpP2k

British diver Tom Daley pointed out how the Olympic diving pool looked…strange. The pool on the right however, retained its normal blue color. Sooo, what happened?

Officials say they don’t know what caused the change in color, but they said that the water has been tested and poses no danger. Meanwhile, Ralph Riley, vice chairman of the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group, said “If it has gone green and it’s due to a lack of disinfectant, then that means there is some sort of implied threat or risk.”

“I’ve never dived in anything like it,” said Britain’s Tonia Couch, who finished fifth, in an interview with the New York Times.

Officials refused to answer questions from the media regarding the water’s color. However, murky green water is usually caused by algae and as mentioned by Mr. Riley, something that could be fixed with disinfectant. Meanwhile, conspiracy theorists are claiming this is the work of Shrek and/or the Hulk, who decided to pee in the pool after one too many beers.
