A strange new song that aims to assist people falling asleep uses sounds of snoring whilst raising funds for charity. The single is called ‘Snored to Sleep’ and was created by music producer, Aubrey Whitfield, PlayOJO and singer, Simon Webbe. The tune is believed to lull the listener into a deep slumber and combines sounds of crowd-sourced snoring alongside a slow melody, low frequencies and a rhythmic, repetitive bass. Scientific studies suggest such sounds can lead to reduced brain activity, thus, creating the perfect environment for a restful sleep. All proceeds from the creative release will be donated to Hope2Sleep - a charity supporting people with health problems such as sleep apnea. Aubrey Whitfield explained, “snores are more fun to mix than you’d think! I had a lot to play…

YouTube star, Adam Moran, has successfully completed the consumption of a previously believed “unbeatable” breakfast in record time. Taking on the ‘Terminator 2’ food challenge at Shepherd’s Place Farm in Nottinghamshire, Moran scoffed down 65 items totaling 4,000 calories in just 12 minutes. The breakfast bonanza included eight traditional foods, such as, bacon, sausages and eggs, as well as, a stack of baked beans and toast. Moran runs the YouTube channel, Beard Meats Food and filmed his dining challenge, reporting, “I was having a good day apart from when I got to the bacon. I always find bacon really, really hard unless it’s really crispy because it’s hard to swallow whole. It’s dangerous to swallow big chunks of it.” Moran now has his photo proudly displayed on the wall of…

The All-Japan Pillow Fighting Championship was held in the small fishing town of Ito recently. Originally invented by a group of high school students, the quirky competition involves two teams pretending to sleep under blankets before a whistle blows and the fun begins. Resembling a combination between dodgeball and chess, the ultimate goal is to protect each team’s ‘King’ from being struck by pillows and at the same time attempting to hit the opposition’s ‘King’ in two-minute sets. The recent regional tournament consisted of 16 teams with a total of 64 participants from local businesses, sporting teams and local athletic clubs. The winners this year were Team BlancWhite which featured the second youngest competitor on the day - nine-year-old, Soda Wamanobe.…

I was at school getting ready for an ordinary day and I had to read to some little kids. There was a bunch of people near the door of the classroom I had to go to so I edged around them. I finished my reading and the people that were there before were still there! So I went around them again and, because my mum works at the school I go to, I saw her talking to an adult. They had just finished talking and started to walk away when I went up to hug. But the person I hugged was not my Mum, it was the other person! She gave me a strange look, I apologised and gave my Mum a hug. I was so embarrassed but no one…

In a treat for thrill-seekers, the world’s longest water slide is expected to open this year.

A Brisbane family have embraced caring for camels in an effort to combat one of Australia’s biggest feral animal problems. The Mitchell family live on a large cattle grazing property in Ripley, west of Brisbane, and have adopted four camels named, Spots, Humphrey, Garfunkel and Alfie. 15-year-old, Courtney Mitchell, has raised the camels since they were calves and said, “They are definitely great pets. I can go up and hug them and give them pats.” RSPCA principal scientist, Mandy Paterson, added, “it’s always good when people think outside-of-the-box, if they can save some animals of course that is good but in the big picture sense the government needs to think of other ways to control feral species.” Whilst camels might make a unique family pet for some, there are council…

Season 9 was a transition phase for the biggest game in the world, Fortnite Battle Royale. Not only did we see the start of the World Cup qualifiers, but we also our favourite island shift into the future, a huge overhaul of the vehicles that were available, and some surprising new movie tie-ins that really made an impact on the experience. We also saw a monstrous event. Cast your mind back to  the start of Season 9 and the volcano erupted. One of the flaming rocks that shot out in that moment hit Polar Peak and it started to crack apart. It took more than half the season for it to open up completely, which is when we discovered there was a monster under there. It emerged and began swimming…

A fancy ice cream cone created by sweet treat-maker, Snowflake Luxury Gelato, is accompanied with a not-so-sweet price tag of $133. The “Billionaire Soft Serve” takes four hours to prepare with each dessert being individually created. Gelato chef, Silvia Gaetta, invented the masterpiece and begins by filling the cone with caramelised pecans, a layer of salted caramel gelato and seasoning with a rare Persian sea salt. The serious soft serve also features two scoops of sorbet, a raspberry macaron topped with edible diamonds made of sugar, a white chocolate truffle filled with salted caramel sauce, a piece of chocolate hand-wrapped in edible 24-karat gold leaf, a drizzle of special fruit sauce and, to top it off, two sheets of edible 24-karat gold leaf. Snowflake founder, Asad Khan, said, “You’ve got…

MEDIEVIL GETS A RELEASE DATE PlayStation has long been the home of great 3D platform adventure games. Think Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter and Knack; they all got their starts with Sony. One forgotten platforming gem was MediEvil, which first came out on the PSOne back in 1998. Outside of the classic genre gameplay, it was known for its quirky sense of humour. It starred Sir Daniel Fortesque, a knight who many mistook as a legend, but was actually the first solider killed in an ancient battle. So, imagine his surprise when he needs to come back from the dead to fight off the return of an evil sorcerer. We can now confirm that a remake, with all new visuals, modern controls, a fresh story and plenty…

It’s no surprise that Yu-Gi-Oh has had plenty of story content over the years. It starts as a Japanese comic series way back in 1996. It was about a young boy called Yugi Mutou who dealt with the challenges he faced by turning them into games. That comic series then became an anime TV show, novels, a real trading card game similar to Magic the Gathering or Pokémon and, of course, a host of video games. That’s a lot of lore and history to use when trying to come up with a new video game. DID YOU KNOW You can embrace your dark side by playing as one of the villains and battling a hero in Reverse Duels.…

KRASH: How has martial arts influenced your wrestling style? TRAVIS: Martial arts has been such a huge influence in my life. I did karate when I was 16 to 19 and it gave me a lot of self-confidence. From there I did sumo wrestling when I started my professional wrestling career — the coach who was my pro wrestling coach also did sumo. I won gold in the Oceania Games for lightweight sumo and team sumo which sent me to Beijing, China, for the World Combat Games for six days. Then I did Brazilian jiu-jitsu as well. I try and mix all of the things I’ve done into my professional wrestling style and I’ve become this hybrid ninja of everything. When I went to Japan and trained, it all kind…

RADDISH SCULPTING You’ve heard of sculptures made of stone and perhaps even sculptures made of ice but what about sculptures made of radishes? This unlikely vegetable is the material of choice at the Noche de Rábanos (Night of the Radishes) in Mexico. It all started in the 16th century when vegetable sellers used to make sculptures of radishes to advertise in the markets. TOMATO THROWING Did someone say food fight? You betcha! Every year at the La Tomatina festival in the town of Brunol in Valencia around 20,000 visitors peg tomatoes at one another for hours. Well, that’s one way to paint the town red! HILLBILLY HOLLERIN' Yeeee-ha! At the The Redneck Games in Georgia, USA, you can compete in events such as toilet seat throwing, bobbing for pig’s trotters…

One day during sport, we were playing T-Ball and when I hit the ball I missed and accidentally farted super loudly. I had to run to the toilets and did a massive poo. But while I was doing my poo, one of my friends ran in and shouted “OMG THERE’S A MASSIVE SPIDER, AHHHHHH ITS GONNA BITE ME!” I was so terrified that I ran out of the bathroom straight away but I forgot to pull my pants up and my girlfriend saw me and started laughing her head off like everyone else. For the rest of the year I was named: Mr Oopsie Pants. Nicko…
