4. Man attempts suicide by jumping into lion’s den, zookeepers forced to kill lions

In Chile, a man stripped naked and jumped into a lion’s den at Santiago’s Metropolitan Zoo in an attempt to commit suicide. The man survived. The lions however, were killed in order to save the man. The man, identified by local media as Franco Luis Ferrada Roman, was taken to a nearby hospital and is in grave condition.

In a statement, zoo director Alejandra Montalba said “the zoo has an established protocol because people’s lives are very important to us.” She added that she was deeply affected by the death of the two lions, one male and one female, and that there were no fast-acting tranquilizers that were readily available. Witnesses say that the man was screaming religious proclamations while in the lions’ enclosure.

This is just sad news all around.

3. Man leaves glasses on museum floor, people mistake it for art

What exactly is modern art? It’s as if anything and everything can be called art these days, as long as some self-important dingus slaps their name on it and has it displayed in a museum. Heck, even you might be part of an exhibit and not know it. Teenager TJ Khayatan decided to put this theory to the test.

Khayatan and his friends visited the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and though initially impressed by the exhibit, some pieces left a lot to be desired. “Upon first arrival we were quite impressed with the artwork and paintings presented in the huge facility. However, some of the ‘art’ wasn’t very surprising to some of us,” he told Buzzfeed. He cited a stuffed animal on a gray blanket as an example. It was at this time Khayatan and his crew decided to put the so-called art lovers present to the test. He put his glasses on the floor just to see how people would react to it.

A few moments later, people started crowding around his glasses to view it and take pictures. He soon took pictures of the people admiring his masterpiece. Though some may find this funny or lose faith in people, his “art” made people think, and that’s exactly what art should do.

2. Tanauan City organizes “Flores de Pusher”

In news that would bring a smile to president-elect Rodrigo Duterte, Tanauan City recently held a “Flores de Pusher,” where suspected drug pushers were paraded around the city. The pushers were paraded around with placards that proclaimed “ako’y pusher, wag tularan.”

Tanauan Mayor Antonio Halili is known for his tough stance on crime and for his shame campaigns. In 2014, he ordered a man to walk around the city while carrying a sign saying he stole fish from the market. With his hands tied, he was also forced to kneel in front of the fish vendor and ask for forgiveness. In 2015, he made a man who allegedly stole P3,000 worth of cable wires walk around in public.

1. Captain America is an agent of Hydra

Here’s something no one saw coming. After Captain America’s 75 years in comics, it turns out Steve Rogers is an agent of Hydra. Marvel comics introduced the shocker in Captain America: Steve Rogers # 1.  With Rogers uttering “Hail Hydra,” the Marvel universe was turned on its head and has sent fans in an uproar. How can you not be shocked? One of comic books’ symbols of freedom is actually working with the bad guys. According to Marvel executive editor Tom Brevoort, this has been in the works since 2014. We’ll have to wait and see where the new adventures of Steve Rogers will take us with this new revelation.

Meanwhile, Chris Evans isn’t too pleased:

Hydra?!?!? #sayitaintso
