Italy: Home To Exotic Wildlife, like Unicorns


Italy is a captivating place. Places to see, things to do, and feelings of romance to be felt. Italy has everything... including unicorns. This is actually a Roe Deer (nicknamed "Unicorn") who was born with one horn unlike his brother, who was born with two (I know I'm making a two-horned deer a big deal even though every deer is supposed to have one, but hey, let's focus on the unicorn, shall we?) Unicorn was born in the town of Prato near Florence, Italy. But here's the thing, Unicorn isn't the only one-horned deer that ever lived, but they're rare and Unicorn is a rare case because his horn is in the middle of his forehead when normal one-horned deer (I can't believe I'm calling them normal) usually has the horn on one side of his head, so he's pretty rare. I can't say that I've ever seen one of these remarkable one-horned deer, but they sound awesome!!!

Big Bee Bothers British Boy Before Bombarding Bystanders


Bees typically die after stinging. That wasn't the case this time, though. A Dorset, England, mother and her son, Helene and Magnus Marshall, were walking one day when Helene heard a horrible noise coming from Magnus and Magnus said that there was a fly in his hair, so Helene went to go check it out and there was this HUGE bee in his hair trying to dig into his head. Helene picked it out and when it came out it flew into the air and went straight for the back of her head. She was really scared and asked another woman that was getting out of her car to help her and she did, but the bee came back and went into the woman's hair. Helene helped her get it out and afterwards they beat it to death. Like I said in the beginning, usually in Dorset after one sting the bees die. Helene said that it was probably from somewhere else. Also, I know you think that Helene doesn't count as a bystander if she's also the victim, bit Magnus got attacked first and the woman in the car had nothing to do with it in the first place except for when she helped the Marshalls.

Looks Like a Hoax to Me

Many of you who surf YouTube to look for some good Nessie footage might remember this video.








It looks sorta like a hoax to me, but that's just one man's opinion. At first I thought "Jeez. They must have done a lot to do that." But then, I looked closer I decided it might be real, but the chances to me are very slim. I thought that it didn't really look like the real deal, and of course I may be wrong. But I'm not going to bet on it.

What's Beneath Lake Pepin?


Have you heard the news? There's a monster at the bottom of Lake Pepin in Minnesota! Three years ago, a man Steve Raymond said that he saw some sort of creature with three humps and he believes that it may have just been a log. When he took a closer look, the log went under water. Good thing before it went under water he took a picture. When he developed the picture he said that it looked a lot like a sea serpent. Three years later he can't find the picture, but they at least gave him a name. Maybe not a fierce name, but a name that fits. He was named Peppy.

Has the Loch Ness Monster Moved On?



You wonder what happened. You wonder what happened to those now-skeptical Nessie hunters who at one point had been on the hunt for adventure and Nessie. What was it that drove them from their pursuit? Well, some people think that Nessie has... died.
From the beginning people have always been a bit skeptical and have always had their doubts. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but why now? That's a question that has already, to some people, been answered. There have been very strange theories about what Nessie really is from swimming deer to giant eels, but the strangest I've heard is the theory that was started in 2006 by a museum curator by the name of Neil Clark. He had noted that a circus came to Inverness in 1933 and was run by a guy named Bertram Mills and he decide that since Nessie was in the papers so much, he would take advantage of the situation and offer 20,000 pounds for her capture. Well, Neil Clark had a theory that one of Mills' elephants is Nessie swimming in Loch Ness and its head and back are the humps and its trunk is the eerie head that people have been talking about for years.


One of the many respected veteran Nessie hunters is a man named Robert Rines and I have written about him in another one of my blog items. Check it out.

Come to the Bigfoot Lodge! Home of the Sasqutch Burger!


If you think that you can eat any burger possible, then you're wrong. No matter how many Big Macs or Woppers you eat, nothing will compare to the Sasquatch Burger found only on the stoves, andon the plates, of the Bigfoot Lodge in Memphis, Tennessee. The Sasquatch Burger weighs a supreme total of seven and a half pounds!!!! That's more than I've consumed in 3 days!!! Whoever feels that they are up to the task (which I certainly wouldn't be), the people at the Bigfoot Lodge have a challenge for whoever can finish the Sasquatch Burger in 60 minutes or less. The last documented participant of the challenge was a 21-year-old guy named Patrick Bertoletti. Just to tell all you guys who are keeling over trying to imagine themselves trying to consume this enormous burger, fries are optional, so you don't have to try to eat that last bit.

What such phenomena could spread rumors? Who else, but Bigfoot!



There was many a rumor being spread in Hays, Kansas about strange footprints being spotted around there. A certain Ruben Horseman, a volunteer fire chief and well-known fly-on-the-wall of Hays, as you would've guessed, heard the rumor as easy as taking a breath of fresh air. When he heard it, he knew perhaps he should go check it out. With only a camera, two friends, and a hunger for some good info only a man like him could feel, he set out into Mission Canyon, which is just south of Hays. There, they found 25 footprints and numerous hand prints on the wall, one being surrounded by blood and hair, but what they found soon after was one of the most important pieces of the puzzle... I was a half-eaten coyote. Apparently, the coyote had been grabbed by the legs and bitten through the middle, according to Horseman. But, I'm sorry to say that it was a hoax. One of the Tribune's staff, Anthony Shambo, confessed that it was his younger brother, Reno Shambo, trying to pull a prank on his young son. Sorry to break it to you, folks.
