Kangaroo is the national animal of Australia. But these marsupials are not always cute and cuddly. Sometimes they can kick, bite, and even kill a person, which is exactly what happened in the Land Down Under on September 12, 2022. According to reports, for the first time since 1936, a kangaroo has fatally injured a person in Australia. A 77-year-old man, who thought it was a good idea to keep a large marsupial as a pet, was attacked and later died of his severe injuries, as reported by Australian broadcaster ABC. Emergency services in Redmond, 400km south of Perth, tried…
If you’ve ever heard of Lake Natron, you probably know that you shouldn’t be swimming in it or drinking from it. This Tanzanian lake is colored in bright red and orange and is honestly one of the most unique sights you’ll ever lay your eyes on, but it’s sadly also ridiculously dangerous. The lake can be found in northern Tanzania, right next to Kenya, and contains a whole lot of alkaline and sodium carbonate. This is what makes the water so very salty and gives the lake its name. If that’s not bad enough, the water is also constantly at…
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star Paul Rudd revealed his secret to staying young as he continues his MCU run. Rudd has built himself quite the reputation for his eternally young looks. The man simply does not seem to age, even cementing himself as People Magazine’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ back in 2021 when he was already 52 years old. The Ant-Man actor is currently on a collision course with another strapping young man in Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror, a physically dominating villain with a “dangerous” intellect. However, now after more than 20 years in Hollywood, Rudd has revealed what keeps him so young. Paul Rudd’s Fountain of Youth Speaking…
Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson recalls the single most challenging scene to film in his career, and one of the most ambitious technical feats in all the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Doctor Strange, co-written and directed by Derrickson, released in 2016, starring Benedict Cumberbatch in the titular role, alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams, Mads Mikkelsen, and Tilda Swinton. Its sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, released last year as part of the Multiverse Saga, in which Derrickson served only as executive producer, with Sam Raimi stepping into the director’s chair after the former departed due to creative differences. Doctor Strange’s…
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania finally marks the debut of Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, revealing the whereabouts of the Multiverse Saga’s main villain. The latest trailer for the upcoming Phase 5 film shows Kang seeking out the aid of Scott Lang and his friends after they become trapped in the Quantum Realm, leading many to wonder why a being as powerful as Kang would need help at all. However, one theory suggests that Kang is actually being held prisoner in the Quantum Realm and is only now seizing an opportunity to escape and wreak havoc on the…
Ever wondered why orcas are called killer whales? Yeah, me too. Lucky for you I’m an expert, trust me, even without visiting an aquarium. We all watched Free Willy and dreamed of swimming with orcas, which is not a good idea. There have been reports of killer whales attacking sail boats in Spanish and Portuguese waters. In South Africa several great whites have been chased, attacked and killed by Willy. Legend says the great whites still avoid Gansbaai, their usual hang out spot. Ferocious killers and maybe the smartest predator alive. Not immediately terms you think of when describing dolphins.…
Being tall has historically never been a good thing for a woman. We often expect them to be petite and cute and don’t really respect tall women as much – probably because most men would be intimidated at the prospect over being dwarfed by a woman. Luckily the times have changed and we can now appreciate women of all sizes, which allows us to spend some time getting to know the very tallest of the tall. Let’s find out who they are! Sandy Allen Sandy was the tallest American woman that ever lived and the Chicago-born woman even had a…
History of Atlantis, a likely mythical island nation mentioned in Plato’s dialogues “Timaeus” and “Critias,” has been an object of fascination among western philosophers and historians for nearly 2,400 years. Plato (c.424–328 B.C.) describes it as a powerful and advanced kingdom that sank, in a night and a day, into the ocean around 9,600 B.C. The ancient Greeks were divided as to whether Plato’s story was to be taken as history or mere metaphor. Since the 19th century there has been renewed interest in linking Plato’s Atlantis to historical locations, most commonly the Greek island of Santorini, which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption around 1,600 B.C. History…
One of the first trans actors to play a character in one of the MCU’s Disney+ offerings talked about the importance of his part. As far as LGBTQ+ representation goes, Marvel Studios has steadily been gaining some solid momentum. Audiences saw Phastos in 2021’s Eternals be portrayed in a same-sex relationship, and Thor’s pal, the King of Asgard herself, Valkyrie is also canonically bisexual. There have been a handful of other LGBTQ+ characters in the MCU, but the franchise still has a long way to go to better serve certain queer portions of its fanbase. Patti Harrison, a trans actress, appeared in Episode 6 of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law last year before non-binary…
The first deleted scene from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has arrived, and it teases an interesting alternate path for a key MCU character. The second trip to Wakanda is a notably long journey—clocking at roughly three hours. However, fans know it could have been longer. An editor for the film previously mentioned how, at one point, the project was upwards of four hours. According to them, a good chunk of that was scenes between Letitia Wright’s Shuri and Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams as they were held in Talokan. While those specific scenes mostly remain a mystery, there’s at least one other that fans can now see themselves. A New…
