According to the Daily Mail a team of American archaeologists believe they have uncovered the remains of Noah’s Ark.
Researchers working at a site in Turkey known as the Durupınar Formation uncovered a “tunnel” located under a boat-shaped formation, which matches the Biblical description of Noah’s Ark.
The site is only 18 miles from Mount Ararat, which has long been rumored to have been the final destination of the ship. “We’re not expecting something that’s fully preserved,” lead researcher Andrew Jones said. “What’s left is the chemical imprint, pieces of wood, and in the ground, the shape of a hall.”

Forget tarot cards—there’s a better game in town, rumpology, also known as buttology, the brainchild of the eccentric Jackie Stallone, yes, the mother of thee Sylvester Stallone. Jackie Stallone didn’t just give us Rocky; she gave us the art of reading rear ends.
So, what exactly is rumpology? Well, it’s the practice of analyzing the shape, lines, and crevices of a person’s posterior to learn their personality traits, future, and even health. Think of it like palm reading, but for your backside.
Jackie claimed that the left cheek represents the past, the right cheek the future, and the cleft (yes, the crack) is the line of your destiny. I couldn’t make this stuff up even if I wanted to.
Jackie Stallone, who was also an astrologer and wrestling promoter, believed that rumpology had roots in ancient civilizations like the Greeks and Romans. There is absolutely no evidence to support that theory. I’ve looked.
Jackie offered rumpology readings via photographs of people’s backsides, although sadly Jackie Stallone passed in 2002, just imagine the readings she could now via zoom!
But if you think her passing meant the end of rumpology you’d be wrong, it’s still being practiced today. The world renowned psychic (as she refers to herself) Sam Amos, offers rump readings for a fee. I’ll include her information below in case you’re feeling brave. But, if you do get a reading I hope you’ll let me know how it goes!
As a quick warning, don’t reveal that rump until you’re sure it’s really an experienced rumpologist, I don’t think I need to tell you all the things that could go wrong otherwise!
On a beautiful Friday morning, (that they said would be rainy) I took an early morning walk through Two Ponds Conservation area in Falmouth Massachusetts. This was my first time at this trail but I was excited to check it out finally and check it off my “want to go box” on Google Maps.
Once a popular 9-hole, par 3 golf course, the land was donated to The 300 Committee Land Trust in 2014, since then it’s been protected land.
This 14.75-acre features Jones Pond and Sols Pond, and an Atlantic white cedar swamp. The swamp was the main attraction I was coming for, but I stayed a little longer for the bird songs. I even learned a little something. I learned that old sea captains brought the water from the cedar swamps on board because the acidity in the water made it safer to drink and that the early European settlers used the wood from the cedars because they resisted rot and insects.
The Upper Wetland Loop Trail has a beautiful boardwalk and viewing platform where I sat on a bench and just absorbed the view for a bit. While I was hanging I was visited by a beautiful bird that was not at all afraid of me being there, and just sat on a branch above my head singing away.
The red winged blackbird, a beautiful bird with a little yellow on his wing was singing away.
Warm sunlight, beautiful view and great music was very relaxing. I highly recommend this trail if you’re in the area.
You can do the shorter loop or the extended one that includes a connecting forest network and spend the day like I did. Either way taking that second for yourself in nature will be with it!
Well, I have now watched and reviewed my share of movies about Bigfoot lately. But I think they may have just been leading up to this gem.
Yeti, Giant of the 20th Century. This movie May have left me speechless, and type less for that matter. But I’ll get it together. Let me pause a moment to get my thoughts together.
Yup. Still recovering from the shock and awe. So I will start with the easy part. The plot summary. Scientists have found a giant frozen Yeti. Then those same scientists do a series of ridiculous things to defrost said Yeti and bring him back to life.
I mean it’s no big deal to find and resurrect a Yeti the size of King Kong right? And while we are speaking of the king of the monsters. This movie paid homage to (Yeah that sounds better than ripping off. Right?) the king himself.
There is even a Faye Raye for the giant hominid too. Let’s not talk about the nipple scene! But I digress. This movie took me to places I never wanted to ever go from the beginning. Like up 10,000 feet to find a frozen Yeti. And Yeti, I guess can be size of a large dinosaur. (Don’t ask me why we aren’t finding those bones by now).
To defrost and reanimate him they take him up in a helicopter bring him to a place where they recreate the same environment they just found him frozen in and began the thawing. Huh? Interesting.
Then yada yada, they finally defrost him. He falls in love with the scientists granddaughter. (Faye) and takes her, the kid brother and dog with them. So then one of the leads says to granddaughter, “If you stay any longer he might expect other things from you too!?!?! Omg! Someone pause the movie! Scrape my ears! And my brain! We did not need to go there!
And as if that is not bad enough. The local store owners are making Yeti T-shirts that look as if blue Yeti hands are reaching around from the back and grabbing the women’s boobs!
Who made this movie? Russ Meyer?
So without giving away all the wonderful twists and turns of this spectacular movie. I will say, You do get your big Yeti on the top of a high rise scene. Move over Kong here comes something hairier!
So check out this movie for a good laugh or to experience Larry David level of awkwardness. Remember I warned you, this is not your father’s Yeti film.

“Relying on deft genetic engineering and ancient, preserved DNA, Colossal scientists deciphered the dire wolf genome, rewrote the genetic code of the common gray wolf to match it, and, using domestic dogs as surrogate mothers, brought Romulus, Remus, and their sister, 2-month-old Khaleesi, into the world during three separate births last fall and this winter—effectively for the first time de-extincting a line of beasts whose live gene pool long ago vanished. TIME met the males (Khaleesi was not present due to her young age) at a fenced field in a U.S. wildlife facility on March 24, on the condition that their location remain a secret to protect the animals from prying eyes.”
It’s with an extremely heavy heart I have to let everyone know, that the beautiful clouded leopard cub born at the Nashville Zoo passed away from intestinal bleeding on Friday. The cub was born on February 25th, and was from the third litter of a mated pair.
The Nashville Zoo President and CEO Rick Schwartz, released the following statement after the cubs passing on Friday.
“This cub represented a proud achievement for us and a hopeful future for her species. She captured the hearts of millions of people, and we are absolutely devastated.”
Pictures from the Nashville Zoo
My sincere condolences to the mama and papa, and the staff at the Nashville Zoo…
“An underwater camera set up 55 years ago to try and photograph the Loch Ness Monster has been found by accident by a robot submarine.
The ocean-going yellow sub – called Boaty McBoatface – was being put through trials when its propeller snagged the mooring for the 1970s camera system.
It is believed it was lowered 180m (591ft) below the loch’s surface by the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau, a group set up in the 1960s to uncover the existence of Nessie in the waters.
No footage of Nessie has been found on the camera, but one of the submarine’s engineers was able to develop a few images of the loch’s murky waters. “
“It was 1972 in a sleepy little Cincinnati suburb when a police officer noticed what appeared to be a four-to-five-foot tall FROG standing on its hind legs near the Little Miami River.
He reported the sighting in Loveland, which quickly took off across the small town of 13,000, garnering surprise and mysticism as residents asked themselves if the story of a human-sized frog could possibly be real.
Days later, a second officer spotted the creature and shot it. After retrieving the carcass, he discovered it was an iguana and brought it to the second cop to see if that the creature he saw.”
The Bergman Bear , is supposedly a giant bear native to Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.
This giant bear ended up intriguing Swedish zoologist Sten Bergman.
Bergman first brought attention to this elusive bear in the 1920s after examining a hide that was far larger than any known bear species. He described it as having short black fur and weighing between 450 and 2,500 pounds!
Bergman believed in the existence of this giant bear due to the physical evidence he encountered such as a massive paw prints measuring nearly 15 inches long and 10 inches wide. While no firsthand sightings have been recorded since the 1920s, local legends and rumors suggest that a few might still roam the remote regions of Siberia.
But could it be possible that this bear is still roaming Siberia? I believe it is.
There are other unbelievably large bears roaming in that area, let’s look at the Kamchatka brown bear for instance. The Kamchatka brown bear is the biggest brown bear in Eurasia with a body length of 7.9 to 9.8 ft tall on its hind legs, and it weights up 1,430 lbs.
Kamchatka brown bears are generally not dangerous to humans. During a study on the animal, one researcher found only 1% of his 270 encounters ended in a human attack.
Then there is the Irkuiem bear otherwise known as the “god bear”.
The Irkuiem bear is considered a cryptid bear, also from Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. According to Fandom’s Encyclopedia of Cryptids, the descriptions of its enormous size and odd limb proportions led to the theory that it could be a short-faced bear, that would mean believing they weren’t actually extinct. Now it is believed to be a unique form of brown bear.
With one large known bear strolling around, would it be so impossible to believe that these currently labeled, “cryptid bears” could be out there as well?
