Overwhelming evidence’ that Planet X will DESTROY Earth in 2017

Paranormal researchers have been investigating the possibility of Planet X for several years now, and some believe that it is now travelling towards Earth.
Research scientist David Meade claims that an entire different solar system is on a collision course with our own and that Planet X, which the conspiracy theorist believes is actually a star, and its gravitational pull will cause widespread destruction here on Earth that will ultimately lead to the end of humanity.
Mr Meade, an author who wrote the book ‘Planet X – The 2017 Arrival’, believes that the devastating Planet X will bring with it “seven orbiting bodies”, including Nibiru, a large, blue planet.
The conspiracy theorist believes that the star system is difficult to spot because of the angle that it is approaching Earth.-READ MORE AND WATCH VIDEO

Weird Christmas traditions happening this weekend around the world

Christmas means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, even within the same country, city or household.
To many people in Britain, it often entails seeing family you’ve missed, confronting family you haven’t missed, heavy drinking, twee Christian traditions, re-runs of classic feel-good films, the commodification of gift-giving, or simply a few days’ off to listen to your old-fashioned Nan rant about the country going down the pan.
While the majority of Britons will celebrate Christmas in some capacity, only a minority of the world’s population will, with two billion Christians and non-Christians across the globe recognising the holiday.
The traditional red and white Santa outfit has become a global costume that most prominently represents Christmas, worn to do all sorts of sporting, social and charity events over December worldwide.READ MORE

Skull casket holding human bones reveals weird burial rituals

Skullcap containing bits of boneDeath was a complicated business in prehistoric Brazil. Cadavers were meticulously dismembered and put on public display. Some parts seem to have been cooked and eaten, and then the bones were carefully tidied up and buried.
On at least one occasion, a skullcap became a convenient storage container for cooked and defleshed bones.
These intricate rituals offer a unique glimpse into the belief system of an ancient hunter-gatherer people, according to the international team of archaeologists investigating the burials – but other researchers caution about reading too much into the curious finds.
The hunter-gatherers who lived in central South America 10,000 or so years ago have traditionally been seen as simple people who were reluctant to embrace novelty.
But André Strauss at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, takes a different view. He and his colleagues have excavated burials at Lapa do Santo in east-central Brazil. They have found evidence that burial practices changed dramatically not once, but twice in just 2000 years.Read More

The weird case of the man who tried to eat himself, and other bizarre brain disorders

Soldier Warren McKinlay spent 18 months as a “walking corpse” after a rare condition left him thinking he was dead.
Warren, 35, from Essex, had Cotard’s syndrome , a billion-to-one condition that leaves sufferers believing they are deceased, as we revealed in the Mirror this week. Some patients even die from starvation after not feeling a need to eat.
But his condition is not the one where the brain plays tricks on the patient. And doctors are still in the dark about the reasons behind many of these rare syndromes.
From believing your loved one is one of the body snatchers to feeling as if the room is shrinking like in Alice In Wonderland, many of these conditions sound more like science fiction, than medical fact...2 More

10 weird American Thanksgiving foods explained

There’s a misconception about Thanksgiving food in America.
Yes, for some it’s about roast turkey and trimmings but for others it seems that anything goes.
As a result there are some seriously weird recipes out there.

And who’s missing roasted potatoes and Yorkshire puddings when you’ve got sides like frog eye salad?
Well, I’ll let you be the judge of that.

the mount holly witch trails


One week after a triple murder in Escambia County, Florida, the sheriff announced the possibility that the murders may be linked to witchcraft.
While most people are familiar with the story of the infamous witch trials that took place in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 and 1693, less well known are the legends told in the Mount Holly, NJ area of women being tried for witchcraft in that town in 1730. The story may stem from an article appeared on October 22, 1730 in the Pennsylvania Gazette, which allegedly chronicled a recent witch trial that taken place in Mount Holly.  The article explained in depth both the reasons those accused were suspected of practicing witchcraft as well as the actions undertaken to determine if they were truly tapping into dark powers.
According to the Gazette, locals began fearing the worst when their animals began acting strangely.  “...the Accused had been charged with making their Neighbours Sheep dance in an uncommon Manner, and with causing Hogs to speak and sing Psalms.”
The ability to control the actions of animals had long been considered a surefire sign of witchery, and the citizens of Mount Holly would not stand for it.  They rounded up those they held responsible, one witch and one wizard, and proceeded to test their innocence.  A  rowdy mob of 300 townsfolk forced a man and woman to undergo trials.  To validate the results, two members of the rabble also underwent these tests as a sort of litmus to prove their fair
First, the accused were weighed against copies of the Bible, -read more

Y-fronts, dog shampoo and flannel shirts: when band merch gets weird

Disco balls: Todd Terje’s underpantsO
nce upon a time if you liked a band you braved passive aggressive record shop assistants and bought their latest 7-inch. Then came the Beatles, and all of a sudden you could buy lunch boxes, little figurines and tea towels. They kickstarted a merchandise continuum that eventually saw my little sister sleeping under a Backstreet Boys duvet cover while wearing a Take That T-shirt and waiting to be awoken by an ‘NSync alarm clock.

11 weird facts we bet you never knew about poo

weird poo facts
There are a lot of things we don't know about poo, even though it's such a normal part of our lives. 

From health facts to animal behaviour, we've got a list full of weird, amazing and helpful facts you probably never knew about poo.

1. An 'alcohol poo' is a very normal thing


If you've ever found yourself on the toilet after a heavy night of cocktails, wondering why every hangover comes equipped with diarrhoea, you're not alone. Alcohol makes your digestive tract work faster than it usually would, plus all of the extra liquid you've consumed means your body wants to flush it all out.

Dr. Ali Keshavarzian, director of digestive diseases at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, told BuzzFeed: 'The increased transit time means there's less time for absorption of water in the colon, so the stools are watery and come out as diarrhoea.

World of Weird review – entertaining, if not exactly edifying

Tim ‘Pricasso’ Patch and presenter Joel Dommett in their painting outfits.T
here’s a large branch of televisual entertainment that relies on people doing strange and disconcerting things, either as some kind of challenge or ritual humiliation, or as the price you pay for being allowed to call yourself a celebrity when you aren’t really. Then there are those folks who do odd things off their own bat, because they’re odd. You don’t have to give them reasons or offer them money. You just have to find them.
World of Weird (Channel 4) is a series that does just that, and it’s a very sturdy formula. The only possible difficulty its producers might have faced is a global shortage of weirdness, but once they tracked down the man who paints pictures with his penis, I’m sure they felt they were away.
Tim Patch – AKA Pricasso – lives in Queensland in a house he built himself. He wears an outsize pink top hat and matching bow tie when he works, and not much else. He produces, he reckons, about 1,000 canvases a year, mostly on commission, although success in his particular discipline comes at a price. “I go -read more

15 supposedly weird things Scottish people do that no-one else understands

I’m not talking the big things like daring to want our country to have some kind of say in our futures by discussing independence.

Why goosebumps are redundant and other great body mysteries

When that coastal breeze kicks in at the beach, it’s time for a pilomotor reflex ...GO AHEAD, tickle yourself. We’ll wait here. You couldn’t even elicit a smirk, right?
The reason for this conundrum is that the command to tickle yourself is going through the same brain that usually responds to the sensation with a wriggly giggle, and the one cancels out the other.
Or as Sara-Jayne Blakemore, a researcher at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, explained it to Scientific American in 2007:
“The cerebellum can predict sensations when your own movement causes them but not when someone else does. When you try to tickle yourself, the cerebellum predicts the sensation and this prediction is used to cancel the response of other brain areas to the tickle.”
However, schizophrenics are able to tickle themselves. Researchers say it could be because they can’t link the tickle to their initial motive.read more

But there are other ways to celebrate a day dedicated to the joy of beards.

9 surprising facts about the 1966 World Cup in England

There are several things about the 1966 World Cup we all learned a long time ago. You probably know it's the only trophy the England football team have ever won. You must be aware Sir Geoff Hurst bagged a hat-trick in the final. And, unless you're REALLY bad at maths, you will know that on 30th July 2016, it will be exactly 50 years since that glorious day at Wembley. However, while we all know the obvious details, there are a whole load of 1966 World Cup facts that could really surprise you… 1. Only one of the quarter-finals was on TV 1966 was a much smaller tournament than the modern World Cups, with only 16 teams competing. Even so, not all of the games were on television. It seems inconceivable in an era where Fifa re-jigged the 2014 draw a little to give England-Italy in Manaus a better time-slot for Europe, but in 1966 all four quarter-finals kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon.read more

Five weird and wonderful hair loss treatments

Balding men go to great lengths to protect the hair left on their headsI
n over 15 years of counselling men dealing with hair loss, I’ve pretty much heard it all. Weird, wacky, and even frankly worrisome: there are treatments out there that make you want to shake your head with laughter, incredulous that anyone would resort to such desperate – and unscientific – measures.
But however colourful the treatments I'm about to tell you about, they carry a serious message: that men care deeply about their hair. The fact is that 55 per cent of men experience male pattern baldness by the age of 35, and that partly explains why more than $2 billion is spent annually by these vulnerable blokes on often futile cures ...read more

Local sports used to be really weird

Hello! Chris Donlan here. Simon Parkin and I recently attended a wonderful talk at Brighton'sCatalyst Club, in which historian Mathew Homewood picked over some of the strangest sports in Sussex history. I think it's quite interesting to think of games as being related to this quirky lineage, and so I asked him to write a bit about bizarre and forgotten sports for Eurogamer. I really hope you enjoy it.
Most of us have participated in those classic sports day events; the egg and spoon race, the sack race, and the tug of war. Relatively 'normal' activities for both children and adults. However, many years ago, grown men and women were participating in far more weird and unusual sporting events. The county of Sussex appears to have been one of the leading lights in this world of bizarre sporting behaviour. In Brighton's Royal Gardens, as far back as the 1820s, one could witness such events as climbing the greasy pole, grinning through horse collars, catching a cock 'with hands tied behind'(!), and jingling matches, which involved a man with a bell round his neck being chased around a field by an army of men with blindfolds. An experienced jingler may lead these men into a merry game of cat and mouse. However, one might have some sympathy for the inexperienced jingler, cantering around a field, jangling away, and being bundled over by an excited mob.
The greasy pole was often used in village sports days. A vertical pole, standing upwards of three meters would be coated with grease. A prize would then be placed at the top - sometimes a hat, but more often a leg of mutton - and crowds would watch enthusiastic, and often hopeless attempts to gain the prize. Another use for the greasy pole was to lay it vertically over a pit of cold water, sit two men on it, arm them will sacks full of something heavy, and let them battle it out until one (or both) fell into the water.-read more

Brexit: The weird and wonderful moments of the campaign

This was an area where the Brexiters dominated. Inone YouGov poll, 46 per cent of Leave voters agreed the referendum would be rigged; 28 per cent thought MI5 was already working on it.
One widely-circulated suspicion was that the government had deliberately crashed the voter registration system to allow more time for Remain supporters to register. (Which discounted the possibility that government websites simply do not function very well.)
Another was that any Leave votes made in pencil would be erased, and converted to Remain votes. And yet another theory was that Sarah Wollaston, the fiercely-independent Tory MP who defected from Leave to Remain, was a government plant.
Daniel Jolley, a professor at Staffordshire University, and Karen Douglas, at the University of Kent, recently conducted an experiment asking 400 people to what degree they subscribed to such theories, including one stating that major broadcasters were colluding with Remain by placing its propaganda on their websites.
They discovered that the degree to which people accepted such theories outstripped almost all other factors as a predictor of their voting intentions. (YouGov’s survey found that only 11 per cent of Remainers thought the vote would be rigged, and 16 per cent that MI5 was involved.)read more

TICKLED IS A THRILLING TESTAMENT TO OUR NEED TO EXPLORE THE WEIRD (REVIEW)

The odds have it that you have not harbored a longstanding fascination with the sport of competitive tickling. It’s damn near certain that you’ve never participated in, spectated, read up on, or—hell, let’s be frank—even heard of the pastime or its bizarre subculture before happening upon notice of David Farrier’s new documentary Tickled. And I’d venture to guess that it wasn’t so much with an open embrace but a cautious shudder that you endured this late introduction to the competitive tickling netherworld… though maybe I’m just projecting. Unfamiliar, alienating, and almost intrinsically uncomfortable, competitive tickling the sort of subject matter that you can’t imagine anyone having asked to see a movie about. And yet, here we are.
Why we, platonic ideals of the untickled body politic, would bother to engage with a documentary like journalist Farrier’s directorial debut boils down to a question of the human condition… or maybe just a bit of a cop out answer: curiosity. Clean, twisted, hungry human curiosity. The kind that only grows and quickens the stranger, more confusing, and less traversable its subject becomes. It’s the fuel of not only any given viewing of Tickled, but the movie’s very creation.read more

Weaponized Baseball' explores weird and worrisome aspects of the sport

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Spring has finally arrived, and baseball is back once again.
Ah yes, the sport that builds nations, foments revolution, distracts from scandals and massacres, propagandizes national policy, becomes a tool of war and espionage, and may have been the reason why Gen. George Armstrong Custer made his last stand.

Alabama city cracking down on diaperless horses

SELMA, Ala. (AP) — The west Alabama city of Selma is planning a crackdown on what one councilman says is a big problem: Horse droppings.
The City Council passed a law three years ago requiring that horses wear diapers when on city streets, but Councilman Michael Johnson says riders aren't following the law.
Johnson says he doesn't mind people riding horses in the city of 20,000. But he's bothered by the smell and other sanitary problems created by horses on city streets.
The Selma-Times Journal (http://bit.ly/1ZwfGs8 ) quotes Police Chief John Brock as saying officers will be stricter enforcing the diaper law. He says the department will issue warnings for a first offense and citations for repeat offenders.
There could be plenty of tickets: Johnson says he's seen just one diaper-wearing horse in town.

Puppy frozen in time for 12,400 years is thawed by scientists in remarkable footage

Scientists have 'thawed' an extinct species of dog - which is thought to have been frozen in Siberian permafrost ice for 12,400 years.
The ancient puppy still has its own teeth, and its brain is also thought to be intact.
Experts are examining whether the young animal was a "pet", while controversial South Korean cloning guru Hwang Woo-suk - present at a remarkable autopsy of the extinct Pleistocene canid - has taken samples in a bid to bring the extinct species back to life.
