If you’re a bull, and those stupid 2-legged mammals you work with are all singing about ‘Murica’ and ‘freedom’ while waving lights and wearing parts of your extended family, what do you do? Clearly, the natural course of action is to say, ‘screw this, I’m having the evening off,’ and nope out of there. That’s exactly what this bull did during a rodeo in Oregon on Saturday. Video from the crowd shows the bull running round looking increasingly pissed off, before clearing the fence and heading for the parking lot. ‘I capture him completely going over the gate and disappearing,’ the author of the video told local media. ‘Then there’s this huge pause in the zone he came out of. It seems like people go right back to waving their lights, almost like they’re not really sure what to do.’ Four people suffered minor injuries before the bull was captured again, but at least the crowd were able to carry on waving their lights, so freedom was safe for another day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

Back in the good ol’ days, people stuck up a mountain without supplies just had to freeze to death and become a gruesome warning for others. But thanks to the marvels of modern technology, help is just a push of a button away. Chinese drone giant DJI has teamed up with Nepalese company Airlift and video production company 8KRAW to successfully make the world’s first drone deliveries to Mount Everest (known as Mount Qomolangma in China), paving the way for safer resupplying of Everest’s camps, and removing the enormous amount of garbage that now litters the side of the world’s tallest mountain. DJI successfully flew three oxygen bottles and 1.5kg of supplies from Base Camp (at an altitude of 5,364m) to Camp 1 (at 6,000m), and then returned with a payload of trash. It’s expected that, once tests are finished, the drone could carry a payload of 15kg in just a 12-minute round trip, day or night. It ordinarily takes a Sherpa six to eight hours to make the same journey, through the treacherous Khumbu Icefall. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

For the 21st year in a row, Nicaragua has been looking for its largest pregnant woman. The ‘Madre Panza’ (‘Belly Mother’) competition is held every year in the capital Managua on Mother’s Day to celebrate motherhood, and involves measuring bumps to see who is the most spectacularly pregnant. This year’s winner was Ana del Pilar Peña Jarquín, who measured 55cm from sternum to pubis (the standard metric for pregnant women competitions), but she thinks the bump has got more growing to do yet. ‘I think my second belly was bigger because I am not even 8 months pregnant yet,’ she said. ‘My scheduled delivery date is June 14.’ Peña Jarquín was an outsider for the title, but romped home to victory after the two favorites both accidentally gave birth before the competition. The event is organized by La Nueva Radio Ya and carries a small cash prize and a new washing machine. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

A trip to a safari park turned a bit white-knuckle for a little girl at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Texas, when a giraffe decided she was extremely interesting. Two-year-old Paisley was trying to feed the giraffe from the back of a safari truck, when the giraffe picked her up and lifted her into the air. Tragedy was averted, however, when the giraffe realized Paisley wasn’t the food bag and immediately put her back. ‘She wasn't even scared,’ said Paisley’s dad. ‘It scared me but after it was all over, we realized everyone was safe and unharmed, and we laughed about it.’ Paisley reportedly even chose a giraffe toy from the gift shop on the way out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
