| Bachelors Wanted in Brazilian Town Made Up Entirely of Women Posted: 29 Aug 2014 03:23 AM PDT UPDATE: Apparently, Noiva de Cordeiro isn’t exactly the bachelors’ paradise it was made out to be by Western media. According to a recent article in the Brazilian newspaper O Globo, the Belo Vale town isn’t that much different from any other rural settlement. Most of the women shown in the photos working in the field and doing chores are apparently happily married, and the population is made up of both men and women, in equal proportion. It’s just that the majority of men work in the city during weekdays, so they’re left tending to their homes and crops. |
| Sheep Found Wandering through Tasmanian Wilderness May Be the World’s Woolliest Posted: 29 Aug 2014 02:02 AM PDT A Tasmanian farmer-couple recently discovered what might just be the world's woolliest sheep. They've named the super-fluffy creature 'Shaun', after popular cartoon character Shaun the Sheep from the British comedy series Wallace and Gromit. As it turns out, Shaun has never had his coat cut, and it is at least half-a-meter thick now. In fact he appears to have been on the run ever since he escaped the shearers at his former farm on Tasmania's east coast, at least 25 miles away. It is estimated that Shaun has been wandering across the island for the past six years! Peter Hazel said that he and his wife Netty found Shaun wandering in scrubland on their property last Sunday. He was actually quite easy to catch, what with 20 kilograms of extra fleece weighing him down. His wool was just all over the place, even falling over his eyes and obstructing his vision. |
| Mangetsu Man – The Anonymous Japanese Superhero Keeping Tokyo Clean Posted: 29 Aug 2014 12:34 AM PDT Mangetsu Man is a likable Japanese superhero whose only superpower is the determination to keep the streets of Tokyo clean, especially the Roppongi district, which locals say is always in need of a dust sweep. As you might have guessed, his arsenal of super-weapons consists of a broom and a dust pan. Donning a purple suit and a big yellow ball for a head, Mangetsu Man – which translates as 'Full Moon Man' – spends a considerable amount of time sweeping the streets of Tokyo. He also puts on hilarious skits, recites Buddhist Prayers, and uses his amazing basketball skills to spread his message of joy, happiness and peace to the world According to his official website, Mangetsu Man sprang into action in October last year, with a mission to 'beautify Earth'. He also hopes his actions will inspire others into helping the greater good worldwide. |
