Over the past decade, there’s been a strange occurrence in the southernmost part of British Columbia, human feet washing ashore from the sea. Last week the 14th foot washed ashore on Gabriola Island further fueling concerns as well as conspiracy theories. The human feet that wash ashore are still inside shoes (in some cased hiking boots) leaving some to theories that there’s a serial killer cutting up victims and dumping them at sea, or that they’re victims of human trafficking, the theories go well beyond earthly possibilities to aliens. It’s been stated many times by the Canadian Mounted Police that what’s occurring is strangely natural in the case of human remains that are out at sea. As the human body breaks down and sinks, the feet, protected by the shoes that are able to float, detached from the legs and get carried by the ocean’s current bringing them to the shorelines of British Columbia. Not many are aware the coroner’s

It’s been a bad day for the Devil, Fox killed not one, but two great horror series, “The Exorcist”, and “Lucifer”. Needless to say, fans are upset. After two wonderful seasons, the folks at Fox gave The Exorcist the ax. The show followed two priests (Ben Daniels, Alfonso Herrera) on a mission to exorcise the demons that plague a different family each season. Lucifer, the devil himself wasn’t immune to Fox’s reach. After three seasons the show is done, which is a shame. You can’t help but love Tom Ellis’s cheeky character. Hopefully, before the end of this season, we’ll find out if Lucifer gets the girl (Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German)), if D.B. Woodside’s Amenadiel will complete his mission, and if Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt) will find peace. Those aren’t the only two shows to get killed by Fox this week. “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “The Last Man on Earth” were also canceled.

Boston Dynamics are at it again, showing off their latest achievements while at the same time terrifying some members of the public. Yesterday Boston Dynamics posted a video on Youtube showing their latest breakthrough, Atlas. Atlas is one of the latest humanoid robots created by the tech giant but Atlas can do something we have not seen a robot do on two legs…run. Well, to be honest, it’s more like jogging, but Atlas is able to do so without power cables, and no hoists keeping it upright etc. Some find the appearance of Atlas and other robots from Boston Dynamics to be disturbing because of the lack of faces. Many have made comparisons between Atlas and Terminators as well as the killer robots from I Robot and drawing comparisons to the malfunctioning Synthetics from the Alien movies. The 4 foot 9 robot is able to jog on even and uneven terrain due to its ability to maintain balance, showcasing that

What started out as a normal day has quickly become an amazing day. Fans (including us) of Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty” were crushed when they came to realization that we probably wouldn’t see Rick and Morty have another adventure after the finale months ago. But just when we thought it was all over, Adult Swim comes through with a massive 70-episode order! That’s right, 70! The massive renewal comes along with an overall deal the network signed with the show’s creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, according to Variety. The series follows Rick, a sociopathic genius, and his grandson Morty as they go on insanely dangerous adventures throughout the multi-verse. The big announcement that Roiland and Harmon were going back to work on the series in a strange Instagram post earlier today. https://www.instagram.com/p/BimmtxqhcBX/?hl=en&taken-by=danharmon I don’t know about you, but I’m happy as hell!

In the infamous selfie bear attack video, an Indian man was mauled to death by an injured Sloth Bear after he tried to take a selfie with it. It was reported and it’s seen in the video that a stray dog rushed over in the middle of the tussle in what was described as an attempt to “help” the man being attacked. There are a couple things wrong with the statement, first, it’s what’s called in the field (as well as others) anthropomorphic, that’s when you give human characteristics to something nonhuman in this case, animals. Humans tend to give titles to actions animals are doing while in reality, it’s instinct or just an action. For example, I interned at a Zoo as part of my curriculum in college and I was helping out at a bear exhibit, I had to throw a bag full of trash we collected over a fence leading into a “behind the scenes” area with

The internet again is buzzing with the latest shocking news story with no filters, a man in India being mauled to death by a bear while he tried to take a selfie with it. The attack took place after the man who was identified as a cab driver stopped off to relieve himself in a wooded area by a watering hole. While the man was there he noticed an injured Sloth Bear and decided to take a selfie with the animal. The bear reacted like how you would expect, it attacked the man. As the man was pinned to the ground, bystanders shouted at the bear and filmed the attack on their phones as Darwinism unfolded before their eyes. The footage clearly showed that the man was no match for the bear and as a result was killed. The bear was captured and was treated for its injuries. It should be noted that India has the highest rate of selfie-related
