Is the figure in the water really what it looks like?
The fun thing about myths is trying to identify whether they are true or not. That’s what has been going on for decades in a small
fishing town in the south east of England. Someone spotted a crazy figure in the water on Google maps, but is it really what it looks
like? Watch this video to see the figure and decide if it is true or a hoax. (psssst!....the Dallas /Denver game was strange also!...pass it on!)

The hidden war at your local grocery store:
Have you ever wondered why name-brand products seem to dominate grocery store shelf space? The answer is surprising. You'll never
look at grocery shopping the same way again after you watch this video. Press play to see all the hoops the food industry is willing
to jump through to get their product to your table.

I have never cared for Spiders. Snakes never bothered me, when I was a kid I was always catching and messing with snakes...once I got lucky and not bitten when in Florida and catching a Coral Snake that I thought at the time was a king snake. But I never liked spiders...still don't care for them now but not scared like I was when I was younger.
If you have spent time in some branches of the military, in my case the Army, chances are you have done day and night land navigation courses.
You go to a specific area. They give you a map, a compass and a set of coordinates and you have to go out and find spots in the course...normally it would be a sign with a code on it like A9 or BB or something of the like. You write that code down and go to the next point. Normally you would have 3-5 points to find.
I never minded day nav courses, usually found them kind of fun. However I always hated night nav courses as you could easily lose a straight path due to not being able to see for a distance and line up a target to move towards.
One night I was out and was traveling through the woods with a lot of tall pines that did not have many branches except for the top. As I was trying to follow a straight line and it lead me through a group of trees.
When I got up to where I would be going between the tight grouping of trees I seen a bunch of spider webs between the trees that was right in my direction of travel and it was not just one spider but 2-4 large spiders each with different webs but the webs were close enough together to almost appear to be attached to one another although they were not. These were the big yellow spiders that had what looks like a seam weaved right into the middle of the web. We used to call them zipper spiders but I think they are called something else.
So instead of walking through that grouping of webs and spiders, I decided I would just make a direct right, walk around that grouping of trees and and get back to my direction of travel on the other side of the web. Well when I turned right there was another grouping of webs and spiders between some other trees. So I turned the other way and the same thing. It was like I had walked into a closet and instead of three walls it was three groupings of webs and big zipper spiders.
Had to be around 10-15 webs and spiders between those trees.
So I just did an about face and walked well clear of those grouping of trees and back on target of travel.
After that night I said...no more of that crap.
After that night, if we had night nav courses, a few friends and I would go out into the woods about 300 yards, find a nice little cozy patch of land. Sit down and shoot the bull for a few hours until we heard the 2 1/2 tons beeping horns to call people in and pretend that we had been lost. lol
I have never again in my life seen a grouping of webs or spiders like that in an area. I don't even think it is natural and I am not sure why they were all bunched in that one area unless the moonlight shown down into the cluster of trees more than others and attracted bugs. Even with that I would not think the spiders would live that close together without attacking each other.
I just know it gave me the willies that night. haha

I woke up Sunday night in a cold sweat. I had just had a terrible nightmare. I had just dreamed that the Cowboys had been killed by the Broncos. Dak was throwing interceptions, Zeke was being selfish and running into brick walls. Sean Lee couldn't tackle and Garrett couldn't coach. I thought it was all a bad dream until the Garrett part, then i realized it was a REALITY!!!!!! Weird!

How Star Trek changed the way we say “data”
Do you typically say “day-ta” or “dah-ta?” It seems like it used to always be pronounced “dah-ta,” but more and more people are
starting to say “day-ta” instead. Could Star Trek be to blame for this pronunciation switch? Watch this video to see how this movie
had an impact on the way we say “data.”

Robot-run Japanese hotel:
The robot revolution really is here! If you don’t believe it, check out this hotel in Japan that is almost completely run by robots.
Dinosaur robots work behind the desk, and each room has its own personal robot. Even the trash can is a robot! Would you stay there?

... another weird one for ya'....I call this one...."Cool Weird!"...
Light up dance routine is out of this world:
“America’s Got Talent” is full of awesome acts, from comedy to stunts, and so much more. When dance groups come on, they have to
really “wow” the judges. This group did something so unique they got a standing ovation. Press play to see how this group did a
glowing dance in the dark.

Incredibly smart dog has a huge vocabulary:
The average pet dog understands quite a few words, especially if it’s tied to a command like “sit” or “roll over”. But Chaser is not
your average dog. She can understand a whopping 1,022 words! Press play to see how she’s able to learn and recognize so many words.
