Lost Beaver Gets a Police Escort

From the Komo News report:

A beaver that seemed to have lost its way got a police escort late Thursday night.

Around 11:30 p.m., the Oregon City Police Department got a call that a beaver was walking across Southeast McLoughlin Boulevard at 14th Street, away from the Willamette River.

The beaver had somehow made it through traffic but seemed a bit disoriented and kept walking toward headlights.

When officers showed up, they tried to use a pole with a noose to catch the beaver, but they quickly figured out that the animal was pretty mellow and had no problem walking with them.

The beaver and officers took a leisurely 40-minute stroll to Abernethy Creek before parting ways.

That is seriously one mellow beaver.

 

thanks curtis!

Burning Stuff with the Power of the Sun

The entire time while watching this video from Grant Thompson, I was terrified that his hand would accidentally make contact with that 2000ºF solar stream coming from his homemade solar scorcher.

I hope he stores that thing in a cool, safe place, for the sake of his potentially-toasted children.

North Korea: The Breakdown

spacer

  • North Korea says it is scrapping all non-aggression pacts with South Korea, closing its hotline with Seoul and shutting their shared border point.
  • North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has placed his army on readiness to “annihilate the enemy”, though most experts believe it is merely blustery rhetoric to get the UN to loosen nuclear sanctions against the DPRK.
  • China’s patience with Kim Jong Un and North Korea is beginning to wear thin, warning against escalation and asking both sides to continue talks.
  • Even though North Korea may not be able to hit the US with their rockets, Japan and South Korea are still within range.
  • A comparison picture of an American, South Korean and North Korean soldier shows us that in hand-to-hand combat, we probably don’t have anything to worry about.
  • [Video](Warning: Autoplay) The White House says that it is fully capable of stopping a North Korean ballistic missile strike after North Korea threatens to  ”exercise the right to a pre-emptive nuclear attack to destroy the strongholds of the aggressors”

So, in essence, Kim Jong Un is incredibly unhappy that the UN is attempting to place sanctions against his nuclear and missile testing. He’s posturing to attempt to get them to back down and experts agree that this most likely won’t go anywhere. Unfortunately, with how high tensions are at the borders right now, one mistake could cause a war to explode again between North and South Korea.

Kim Jong Un is being a petulant little man.

Don’t Fish With Electricity

I don’t even know why you would fish with any sort of electrical equipment, since you’re surround by water. But in Vietnam? They don’t seem to care.

Research Lab Chimpanzees See Sky for the First Time

Over 100 chimpanzees kept for government research will be freed into the Chimp Haven sanctuary in Keithville, Louisiana. This marks the first time that such a large number of chimps have ever been retired. Over the next 12-15 months, these animals will be introduced into the “wild” and, for some of them, it will be the first time they have seen anything except for a steel cage in their entire lives.

You can tell by the look of awe in their faces, as well as the wonderment as they look up at the sky and touch ground, that this new life at Chimp Haven for the chimpanzees will be a better one. The grounds sit on 200 acres of Louisiana forest and will provide education and research opportunities.

This new influx of chimpanzees will double the population at the sanctuary, where the animals will be given all the comforts of a natural and wild environment.

FREE ALL THE ANIMALS.
