4. Rare Snorlax appears, causes massive stampede

Though there has been a reported drop of 15 million daily users, the Pokémon Go hysteria is still rampant. A rare Snorlax caused a massive stampede in Taiwan as budding Pokémon trainers rushed the streets and caused traffic to stop as they tried to capture the elusive creature.

This looks like a scene from World War Z. We’re all up for people enjoying things, but this is ridiculous.

3. Does Godzilla have a penis?

Inverse writer Eric Francisco knows how to ask the hard-hitting questions. Said question in particular is, “Does Godzilla have a penis?” There may be no definite answer, considering that the franchise has been resurrected and rebooted since its birth in 1944 via Toho Studio. And we haven’t noticed the big guy get it on, unless of course you go watch a Godzilla movie for some hot and steamy kaiju love-making action, may God have mercy on your soul. Is that why Godzilla’s angry all the time? He’s lonely, depressed, misunderstood and has no form of release?

Speaking to Inverse, writer and Godzilla expert (yes, that’s a thing) Shyaporn Theerakulstit says Godzilla definitely has a penis. “If you look at pictures of this area on Godzilla, you will notice said bulge.” Theerakulstit likens Godzilla’s biology to that of most reptiles, pointing out his hemipenal bulge at the base of the tail below the belly.

However, canonical Godzilla comic book artist Matt Frank says that the monsters’ gender isn’t something Toho is concerned with. So, the beasts are genderless. “You can’t just have a hanging schlong out there,” he adds. Meanwhile, blogger Nicholas Driscoll claims there are officially licensed Godzilla porn comics. “One of them is a parody comic, Gojira Shin Kigeki (in English: Godzilla New Comedy), in which scientists are trying to stop Godzilla, and they create enemy Godzillas from his cells. One of them creates a cancer Godzilla. One creates a white blood cell Godzilla. The last one is made from Godzilla’s sperm. They don’t go into how they got the sperm, but it’s a stupid-looking sperm with Godzilla’s head, basically.”

There’s also a Dr. Pepper commercial where Godzilla falls in love with a lady monster:

So what gives? To fully be able to find an answer, we must first ask, what IS Godzilla? Maybe some things aren’t meant to be understood by mortal man?

2. NASA claims UFOs are gathering in Saturn’s rings

NASA engineer Norman Bergrun says “living UFO spaceships” have proliferated on Saturn’s rings, and that the number of ships have multiplied and spread to other planets like Uranus and Jupiter.

According to the Daily Star, Bergrun says “What I found out is, these things inhabit Saturn, that’s where I first discovered them, and they’re proliferating. You can find them around Uranus and Jupiter. Wherever you see some rings, that’s where I see the aircraft, I call them a ring maker. I say that it is electromagnetic because I can identify streamline patterns with respect to it that I knew were what we called ‘potential lines’ and that says it was electrical.”

Given Bergrun’s theory that UFOs are multiplying at an alarming rate, it might be only a matter of time before the ships reach Earth. And given the current landscape, they might not be impressed.

1. Sun’s closest neighbour has its own earth-sized world

Exciting new research published in Nature says that the closest star to our sun shows an Earth-sized planet within its habitable zone, Vice reports. Named Proxima b, the world is 1.3 times the size of Earth and 4.2 light years away from our solar system.

What’s even more exciting is that given its dimension and distance from the star, Proxima b can theoretically have liquid on its surface and even support life. Though more research and studies need to be done, the finding simply cannot be ignored. It’s practically discovering you had a cool neighbor down the street that you never knew about.

Now let’s just hope that we get there first before our Saturn-dwelling UFO neighbors do.
