| Stray Dogs Show Up for Funeral of Woman Who Used to Feed Them Posted: 31 Mar 2015 05:44 AM PDT When Margarita Suarez, from Merida, Mexico, passed away last week, her funeral service was attended by the most unusual mourners – stray dogs. It’s utterly baffling that the dogs weren’t even from Cuernavaca, the city where Margarita gave her last breath. They were her companions from back home in Merida, where she used to feed them every single day. Photographs showing the dogs lying around the coffin have now gone viral online – receiving over 130,000 likes and 33,000 shares in only four days.

| Researchers Create Eye-Drops That Let You See in the Dark Posted: 31 Mar 2015 05:25 AM PDT A team of California scientists, or 'biohackers' as they call themselves, claim to have discovered a way for people to achieve night-vision without the use of special goggles. They recently conducted an experiment called Science for the Masses(SftM), in which they injected a volunteer’s eyes with a special liquid solution that gave him superhuman night-vision. After receiving the injection, the volunteer – researcher Gabriel Licina – could supposedly see up to a distance of 50 meters in almost total darkness for several hours, and could spot people running among trees in dark conditions. In comparison, people who weren't treated with the solution did not fare as well. The mystifying solution apparently contains a substance called Chlorin e6 (Ce6), which is found in some deep-sea fish. It has light-amplification properties, and has also been used in cancer treatment research. By combining Ce6 with insulin and saline, the team was able to produce a solution that can improve vision in the dark.

| Venezuelan Model Wears Corset 23 Hours a Day for Extreme Hourglass Figure Posted: 31 Mar 2015 05:00 AM PDT In a bid to achieve a tiny waist, 25-year-old Aleira Avendano has been wearing a tight corset 23 hours a day, for the past six years. The result? She literally looks like an hourglass, with 34DD breasts, an enlarged derriere, and a shockingly slim 20-inch waist. Aleira said that she began 'waist' training as a teenager. Her skinny core now attracts attention wherever she goes. "People stop what they're doing and stare – everywhere I go I get attention," she said. "People shout at me in the street – they can't believe that figure is real." She does admit that wearing a corset was uncomfortable at first and it took her some time to get used to. But over time she got so used to it that her skin would start to itch when she took it off. And she says that she actually loves wearing it now. "I'm completely obsessed with belts and corsets – I even sleep with them on," the busty Venezuelan model said.
