Snake Eats Snake
It's a snake-eat-snake world out there.
Predators
usually chase after smaller (and thus easier) prey, but king snakes
"just don't seem to be abiding by that rule," said biologist David
Penning of Missouri Southern State University to National Geographic.
"When we pair a small king snake with a larger rat snake, they don't
avoid it. They actively and directly will attack a larger individual....
"Marcus Woo of National Geographic has the explanation of how the king snake is truly deserving of its name.
After His Owner Died, Dog Walked the Same Route That He Used to Walk Every Morning
"He [Claudio] walked every day and had his lunch. He was an
artist and was everyone's friend - and now, Thor makes the same walk. I
notice that the dog always stops at the same places. It's impressive,"
hairdresser Airton Oliveira said to RBS TV [in Portuguese].Thor even made the same stop at the lottery office, where Claudio went almost every day. There, he waited for a while as if hoping for his owner to come out from the establishment to continue on their journey together.

Do Japanese People Understand The English Words Written On Their T-Shirts?
We assume the people
in the pics have no idea what their shirt says, which leaves us ROFLing
hard when their shirt says something like "I'm about to let one rip" or
"NAKED", but are we wrong? Do they actually know what their shirt says?
Let's find out!
This video from Fuji Television shared by NeKo JGT shows that many Japanese people wear tees with English words on them because they look cool and not because they know, or care, what the tee actually says.
So English tees are basically the equivalent of those Chinese character tattoos people love to get without actually knowing what they mean, only the tees can be easily removed...

Spinach Leaf Transformed Into Beating Human Heart Tissue
One of the defining traits of a leaf is the branching network of thin veins that delivers water and nutrients to its cells. Now, scientists have used plant veins to replicate the way blood moves through human tissue. The work involves modifying a spinach leaf in the lab to remove its plant cells, which leaves behind a frame made of cellulose.Once they had nothing left but the spinach leaf's cellulose framework, they grew living tissue over it and sent artificial blood through the veins. Read about the groundbreaking experiment at National Geographic. The results are promising.
“Cellulose is biocompatible [and] has been used in a wide variety of regenerative medicine applications, such as cartilage tissue engineering, bone tissue engineering, and wound healing,” the authors write in their paper.

Project Moby Dick
The Cold War’s Least Believable Surveillance Strategy
In
1956, the United States launched a series of balloons that took
advantage of weather patterns to spy on the USSR. They went up in
Europe, glided over the Soviet Union, and were intercepted over Japan,
where planes would extend hooks to grab the cameras from them in
mid-air. What could possibly go wrong?And if the Air Force thought that the Soviets wouldn't notice the balloons, they were sorely mistaken. Read about Project Moby Dick at Atlas Obscura.Still, even the most optimistic assessments admitted that there was a possibility that some of the balloons would veer wildly off course. To aid in recovery, a cartoon and multilingual placard was included, encouraging them to be brought to U.S.-allied bases for a reward.

Baby Romeo Meets Baby Juliet
On
Saturday afternoon at Coastal Carolina Hospital in Bluffton, South
Carolina, proud parents Morgan and Edwin Hernandez welcomed their baby
Romeo to the world. 18 hours and 8 minutes later, Christiana and Allan
Shifflett in the room next door welcomed a baby girl that they named ...
you guessed it, Juliet!
Both parents had picked their babies names earlier in their pregnancies and didn't know about each other until they met in the hospital. Photographer Cassie Clayshutle took photos of the babies and shared it on Facebook with their parents' permission - the post has since gone viral.
The two star-crossed babies already had a head full of hair and Internet fame :) View more of the cute babies photos over at Clayshutle's Facebook page.
