Thousands of toy eggs washed up on a German beach
What could be more enchanting and colorful than a thousand plastic round eggs washing up on to a German shore?
Well, probably a lot of things, but a thousand colored plastic eggs
washing up this week on the North sea coast on the island of Langeoog
and it’s really a sight to be seen. Each little toy, lining the sand on
the beach were greeted by tons of curious German children.
Reports
say that police suspect the toy eggs came from a freighter that “lost
part of its cargo during an intense storm,” according to NPR. Now, the
eggs have been collected by the residents of Langeoog and everyone seems
to be intrigued.
Of course with the happiness of the gifts also come the reality of the trash that washed up on their shoreline. Mayor Uwe Garrels told the Associated Press, “At first I thought this was a wonder, because everything was so colorful and so on, but then we realized that this is a huge mess in the end. ”-Read More
One-mile-long stretch of ancient trees is chopped down because squirrels have gnawed at branches causing them to fall in front of drivers
Gnawing squirrels have forced officials to chop down hundreds of thriving trees across a mile-long stretch of road.
Some
750 towering beech trees used to flank this section of the A38, a busy
road running through picturesque parts of Devon and Cornwall.
But
they have been reduced to barren, 4ft stumps because squirrels were
chomping off branches, which then fell in front of drivers.

The zombie apocalypse won't take long.
A
new article in a peer-reviewed student journal finds that the zombie
hordes would take Earth's population down to a mere 273 survivors in 100
days.
The
paper, published in the University of Leicester's Journal of Physics
Special Topics, was a fanciful use of the so-called SIR model, which is
used in epidemiology to simulate how diseases spread over time. It's not
the first time zombies have been used as a public health metaphor. In December 2015, for example, the British medical journal The Lancet published a tongue-in-cheek paper
titled "Zombie infections: epidemiology, treatment, and prevention."
And a viral blog post from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention urged zombie-apocalypse preparations as a a metaphor for real-life disaster preparedness.
In
the new analysis, the University of Leicester undergraduates assumed
that each zombie would have 90 percent success at finding and infecting
one human per day — a rate that would make the zombie virus twice as
contagious as the Black Death, the plague that devastated Europe in the
1300s. [Zombie Animals: 5 Real Cases of Body-Snatching]-Read More
