 Finally, Goth Latte is a thing and it will match your Dark Soul ... Ever wanted a caffeinated beverage that looks as misanthropic as you feel? Then you're in luck, because the Goth latte is here. [hidden image - please register] It's made from the crushed souls of dead unicorn lattes and it's just as dark as your cold dead heart. [hidden image - please register] OK, so that's not totally true. They're actually made from activated charcoal, an ingredient that's a lot healthier than it sounds (or looks for that matter). [hidden image - please register] Charcoal is thought to help rid the body of unwanted substances because toxins get trapped in its millions of tiny pores, so even though the Goth latte looks like something only the devil would drink, it might in fact be kind of good for you if consumed in the right quantity (just don't tell anybody). They've so far appeared in cafes in the UK and Australia, but we're sure it's only a matter of time before they arrive at your local coffee shop. [hidden image - please register] Would you drink one, guys? |

Italian mayor offers £1,700 to anyone who moves to his remote village in Bormida to stop it becoming deserted ... An Italian mayor is offering to pay €2,000 to anyone willing to move to his village to stop it becoming deserted. Daniele Galliano is trying to bolster the population in Bormida, a mountainous region in Liguria, north-west Italy, where just 394 people live. [hidden image - please register] He has floated the idea newcomers could pay just €50 (£42) a month to rent in the village alongside the welcome lump £1,700 sum. The village has become somewhat of a ghost town as young people move out to the nearest cities to find work. [hidden image - please register] Mr Galliano said on his Facebook page the low rent scheme could be ready to be rolled out in a couple of months and would need approval from the local council. One councillor told the Guardian: “We’re still working out the plan, but anyone is welcome to come and live here. [hidden image - please register] “We’re a small community but very welcoming. "We’re high up in a mountain area but also not far from the sea – it’s a healthy lifestyle, the air is very clean.” [hidden image - please register] Mr Galliani's Facebook post sparked excitement from social media users who said they would be keen to relocate to Bormida.

Man comes up with a brilliant way to escape the police ... Is this the most hilarious way ever to escape from the police, or indeed from anyone you might want to hide from? [hidden image - please register] While we don’t condone running away from the cops, or doing anything to make them chase you in the first place, this man’s humorous hiding place is definitely worth a watch. [hidden image - please register] A video clip filmed in what looks like a workshop shows a man in dark overalls telling the cameraman he knows the perfect way to escape from the cops. In his hands is a piece of flexible metallic ducting pipe, often used in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Almost as soon as the video begins, the man runs enthusiastically across the room, holds the piping above his head and lets it cascade down over his body. As if by magic, the ingenious escapee disappears from sight leaving what could be believed to be an insulated pipe sticking up out of the floor. To complete the illusion he tilts his head forward so the pipe appears to be connected to the wall. |

Arachnids team up to build 30-metre long spiderweb covering a park - as they attempted to flee flood waters ... For arachnophobes, this is exactly what nightmares are made of. But for others, a massive spiderweb that's taken over a park in New Zealand is being described as nothing short of remarkable. [hidden image - please register] Video of the 30-metre spiderweb at Gordon Spratt Reserve in Papamoa, on the north island, has left the internet amazed - particularly after it was revealed thousands of tiny arachnids are responsible for creating it. [hidden image - please register] The footage was shot by local Tracey Maris, who spotted the shiny white mass as she drove past the reserve on Sunday. 'The new tsunami evacuation hill was gleaming this afternoon so I went to see what it was,' Ms Maris told SunLive. 'To my surprise the entire mound was covered in spider web, with thousands of baby spiders.' The spiders reportedly use a technique called ballooning - using small strings of web to catch a ride to safety on the winds. Shooting a silk thread up into the air, it is caught by the wind and acts as a parachute as it takes the arachnids off to higher ground, saving them from rising water. |

[hidden image - please register] "It was a very special sighting to see because he could have easily hurt that baby buffalo. It was almost as though he sensed that this was an innocent newborn and that it didn't mean any harm," he said. "Initially, we were shocked because we thought the calf was going to be crushed by the elephant, but as it all unfolded, our emotions turned to laughter because of the fact that the elephant just wanted to get away from this little guy," Cohen said. "The sighting ended when the elephant ran away into the bush, and the cow and calf also went their separate ways." |

Was this mysterious giant bible written by the Devil himself? The Codex Gigas, the Latin for ‘Giant Book’ is an eight century old leather-bound manuscript that is thought to have been influenced by Satan. The huge 89 centimetre tall, 49 centimetre wide book weighs 75 kilograms and is currently on display at the National Library of Sweden. [hidden image - please register] Across its hundreds of pages include a complete version of the Vulgate Bible – the Catholic Church’s official Latin Bible – and many texts pertaining to the teaching of medicines and magic. But what has caught most people’s eye is the large, full page, colour drawing of the Devil on 577. [hidden image - please register] The origin of the Codex Gigas is unknown, but according to stories which have been past through generations, it was written by a doomed Benedictine monk in a Bohemian monastery. It is believed the monk was sentenced to death after he broke his vows. [hidden image - please register] In a bid to escape his fate, he told authorities that if he could write an entire book in one night that contained all human knowledge as well as praising the monastery, then he should be let off. Upon starting his task however, he realised that it would not be able to be completed in one night. In desperation, the monk allegedly turned to the Devil for help. [hidden image - please register] According to the National Library of Sweden: “The Evil aided him, had his portrait painted in the book and asked the monk's soul in return". Tests carried out on the ancient bible have revealed that the entire book was indeed written by one person as the handwriting is consistent throughout. According to a report in the Line Up, it would have taken five years of non-stop writing to complete. The report adds: “Clearly, the author of this massive tome was possessed by something to create such a masterwork. Whether it was the power of light or darkness, is lost to time.” |

Animal lovers John Robinson, 60, and his wife Pauline, 57, can regularly be seen taking a stroll with giant reptile Bow on the streets of Loughborough, Leics. [hidden image - please register] They take the 17lb beast to the local park and down the shops before returning home where he likes to curl up on the sofa or by the fire to watch TV. [hidden image - please register] Incredibly the one-year-old Savannah Bosc Monitor lizard even likes to be cuddled by John who has to wear two jumpers because his claws are half-an-inch long. [hidden image - please register] Bow lives in a £400 custom built 8ft-long vivarium but is fully toilet trained and often left to roam around the Robinson's house and garden. [hidden image - please register] But the couple have to constantly reassure worried dog owners that their pets are perfectly safe - because Bow is "well fed" on a diet of mice and locusts. Dad-of-two John, a retired electronics engineer, said: "People do stop me all the time to take photos, they're just gobsmacked when they see Bow. "People must think I'm mad when they see me in two jumpers carrying a giant lizard, especially when I've had a triple heart bypass. [hidden image - please register] "Bow often just crawls on me because he wants picking up. He really is just one big baby." |
