A collection of mysterious foul-smelling plants have been discovered in the British countryside, baffling local residents. The plants reportedly hatch out of a jelly-like pod before emerging with four red-coloured tentacles covered in brown goo and has resulted in some people describing them to be an “alien life form”. One of the peculiar plants was found by conservationist, Dan Hoare, in the New Forest located in the south of England, who shared photographs on his Twitter account. However, the alien-plant theory was soon shut down with the plant confirmed to be a rare Devil’s Finger or Octopus Stinkhorn. Related to the common Stinkhorn, a well-known woodland fungus found in Britain, the plant produces a sticky brown substance which attracts flies that then transport its spores to other locations. The Devil’s…

NASA have shared a Hubble image of a newborn star spitting out two jets that resemble a lightsaber from the popular movie series, Star Wars. The formation was described by NASA as a “cosmic, double-bladed lightsaber” with a “Jedi-like cloak of dust” near the centre. In reality, the image represents a baby star with two jets extending out in opposite directions with the Hubble team officially explaining, “Gas from a surrounding disk rains down onto the dust-obscured protostar and engorges it. The material is superheated and shoots outward from the star in opposite directions along an uncluttered escape route -- the star’s rotation axis” The lightsaber star is located in an area called the Orion B molecular cloud complex, a region of nebulae, young stars, gas and dust within the…

An Australian snake catcher has secured a role in a new British television show in an attempt to raise awareness of the reptile world. In the reality program, a group of potential British “pest” experts will gain experience with catching snakes and other tasks set in Australia with Sunshine Coast based, Richie Gilbert, leading the way. Gilbert developed a 30,000 strong following on his Facebook page from posting his snake encounter videos and stories, saying, “I’ve always wanted to do my own show or documentary, but, I wanted to make sure the right messages were put across” With a passion to educate people properly about snakes, Gilbert has rejected a number of previous television offers which he believes “wanted to sensationalise things” The television series is expected to launch in…

SHAME OF THE MONTH One school morning I was mucking around with my little brother, and while I was waiting for Mum to get ready to take me to school I put on her pink slippers and was being silly dressing up and making my brother laugh. Anyway, Mum realised we were running a bit late and rushed me into the car. I got out at school and started walking down to my classroom and heard kids laughing and looked down and I still had Mum’s pink slippers on over my school socks. Mum had already driven away so I had to take the slippers off and explain to the teacher why I had no shoes and wait for Mum to drop them back to me. It was so embarrassing!…

London engineer and architect, Gianluca Santosuosso, has released design plans for a futuristic floating hotel that will move with the current of the ocean. Expected to change the world of cruising holidays, the MORPHotel features a linear, 800-metre-long spinal structure composed of individually connected capsules containing accommodation rooms, restaurants, gardens, theatres and a pool. The “floatel” ecosystem also includes a helipad so visitors can fly aboard and offers guests an ever-changing view from their rooms due to its constant slow movement. Some luxury accommodation pods will even be able to detach from the main part of the structure and sail within a safe distance from the main structure. Santosuosso’s vision is for the hotel to be as self-sustaining as possible through using integrated solar panels, rainwater harvesting and a floating…

A forest in Romania could potential be the most supernatural place in the world following a series of scary events that have occurred there. The Hoia Baciu forest is also referred to as the Bermuda Triangle of Transylvania due to the many Romanians who admit they are too frightened to go there at night. The disturbing origin of the forest dates back to a shepherd and his flock of 200 sheep who all disappeared mysteriously. Trees within the Hoia Baciu forest are strangely curved and there is a large clearing where no trees grow, which according to one legend is protected by spirits. UFO sightings have been linked to the area with one photo taken in 1968 by biologist, Alexandru Swift, showing a clear disc in the sky. Various people…

So the big question that has emerged this month is whether or not the NX is in fact and actual console or not. Nintendo has never said it is a console, and only referred to it as the next “platform” it is working on. Could it actually be something to do with virtual reality? Or a new handheld? Or something to do with the Amiibo figurines? What about a microconsole that streams games from the PC or mobiles? Nintendo did come out with an interesting quote this month; the company said “The NX is something unique and different: it’s not the next Wii or Wii U.” So that very much sounds like it isn’t a console after all. But, get this. A developer who is working on games for the…

A boy who donated $250 to his local Detroit Police Department’s K-9 Unit was recently sworn in as the official police chief for one day. Seven-year-old, Carter Widmer, son of Detroit lieutenant, John Widmer, was given a tailor-made uniform along with the power to boss around his father during an eight-hour shift. Carter was declared “Chief for the Day” by the official chief, James Craig, with his duties including being flown to headquarters by helicopter, handcuffing his dad and spending quality time with a police dog. Carter’s mother, Kelly, explained her son “was hoping for a German shepherd for Christmas, but when that didn’t work out, he donated his Christmas money to the department’s K-9 Unit... That’s when the chief appointed him as chief for a day.” With a dream…

Abrams in a restaurant in London and that’s when he told me I was going to get the part.

After that he just broke it to me that I was going to be the new star of Star Wars. KRASH: And then? John: And then the world froze for that split second and it was one of the most touching moments in my life. KRASH: Did…
