Donkey In Distress While Parasailing
A donkey was tied to a parachute and put up into the air over a beach in the village of Golubitskaya which is in the southern parts of Russia.
As beach visitors watched the incident, the donkey wailed in fear.
Children were frightened and concerned for the donkey which many thought was a dog. The poor donkey was so high up in the air it was hard for some to tell.
The donkey was suppose to be an advertisement to draw people to the beach.
When the donkey landed, it fell into the water and was pulled along a bit before stopping. The people then helped the donkey, which was in very bad condition onto the beach.

The Chicken or the Egg?
The old riddle that has been passed down for generations may have finally been solved.
Which came first? The Chicken or the egg?
I have my own theory, but lets see just what the scientific mind came up with.
The mystery was supposedly solved by scientist at the Sheffield and Warwick universities.
They researched and found that there is a protein that can be found only in the ovaries of a chicken that is needed to form an egg.
Their theory is then that, the egg can only exist if it was made inside a chicken.
The protein they found makes the shell develop very fast which keeps the yolk and fluids inside the egg that is needed for a baby chick to develop.
It’s always been thought that the egg came first, but this proves that there had to have been a chicken to carry the egg.
My theory is, how could an egg exist without a chicken having been here first. Where did the egg come from.
I agree with their theory that the chicken came first.

Don’t Feed The Elephants
In Bangkok, it is a familiar site to see someone feeding the elephants bits of fruit. People even pay the elephants handlers to be able to do this.
The act is very dangerous and many people have been injured as a result. Elephants and property have also been hurt as a result of these improper feedings.
To protect the people, the elephants and the property, the authorities have decided to place a fine on people when caught feeding the elephants.
So if you visit Bangkok, do not feed the elephants.

Two New Types of Walking Batfish Discovered
The only good thing I have heard so far about the Gulf oil spill is the discovery of two new types of the walking bat fish that are living on the bottom of the Gulf.
They discovered these two new types were right inline with where the oil was traveling .
These fish are small enough that they can fit in the palm of your hand. They are in the pancake batfish family. These new types may already be in trouble due to the oil spill and chemicals being used to clean it up.
The oil spill could be wiping out the batfishes food supply of plankton.
They could also be doomed by the oil pouring out of the wellhead.
The fish get their name because they are flat with thick fins which they use like arms to walk along the ocean floor.
