Tsavo man eaters - a pair of male lions fed on ~28 humans building a RR across Uganda in the 1800s. Turns out one of the lions had a serious dental problem that prevented it from taking down normal prey and started eating people and the other lion learned from him.

According to his lawyer...
Kyle Rittenhouse is now broke
Kyle is now 20 years old and, being out of the media spotlight, is no longer being sponsored by the gun nut anti-BLM crowd. So despite the fact that he can't even buy a drink legally, Kyle has been forced to consider working for a living. It's a tough effing life.
Of course, his lawyer wants to get paid for defending Kyle in a civil case brought by the family of one of his victims, so I guess he's hoping someone will crank up another crowd-funded payday for him...

Anal retention: Suspect found to be hiding handgun in his rectum
An Indiana ex-con took “concealed carry” to a whole new level when cops found he was stashing a gun in his anal cavity during a traffic stop.
Christopher Boyd, 32, was riding in a vehicle that was pulled over at 2 a.m. Monday in Evansville because its license plate was obscured, according to a police report obtained by the Smoking Gun.
When cops patted down Boyd, they found “a small bag with multiple pills” in his right sock, which the suspect reportedly claimed were Percocets that he had scored from his “Aunt Trish” to deal with the pain of having a “bullet lodged in his spine.”
As the search continued, Boyd claimed he was unable to spread his legs due to his spinal injury, according to the report.
After being taken into custody, officials noticed he was “walking with a limp and appeared to be clenching his buttocks when he walked,” the police report said.
A body scan revealed a “large object” in his groin area, and a strip search revealed that Boyd had a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard stuffed in his rectum, the outlet said.
The Bodyguard is a .380-caliber gun that weighs less than a pound and is about 5 inches long, according to the manufacturer, which bills the $400 piece as “lightweight” and “easy to carry.”
It was unclear from the police report if the gun was loaded when it was lodged in his anus.
Boyd had previously been convicted of attempted murder, burglary and domestic battery, and was banned from carrying guns.
Cops also found two bags of weed “tucked next to Boyd’s scrotum,” the article said. Recreational marijuana remains illegal in Indiana.
The suspect was charged with an array of felony drug, gun and trafficking charges and was being held at Vanderburgh County Jail without bond.
The driver of the vehicle that was pulled over and another passenger were not charged.Keep on Civin'

Overall, astronauts often compare the smell of space to "hot metal, burnt meat, burnt cakes, spent gunpowder and welding of metal,"
They get a whiff when removing gear after spacewalks or when doors open to let space walkers back in. Makes sense, the Sun is fusing metals among other things

Schiff and his colleagues pinpointed a structure deep inside the brain as a crucial hub in the network. Known as the central lateral nucleus, it is a thin sheet of neurons about the size and shape of an almond shell.
The human brain has two such structures, one in each hemisphere. They seem to help the brain quiet itself at night for sleep and rev up the brain in the morning. Stimulating the neurons in these regions can wake up a sleeping rat, Schiff’s research has shown.

Traffic-blocking turkey beloved by some residents in Michigan town
By Ben Hooper
Dec. 6 (UPI) -- A wild turkey has taken to chasing cars and blocking traffic in a Michigan neighborhood -- and some locals love him for it.
The turkey, seen most commonly around an intersection in Kentwood, was dubbed "Gary Jr." by locals in honor of a turkey named Gary that previously frequented the area before his death in early 2022.
A Facebook group started by local woman Kayla Smith to document sightings of the original Gary saw a spike in activity after a dormant period when Gary Jr. arrived on the scene.
"It's something that brings some positive light to dark times," Cathy Kutschinski told WXMI-TV. "Turkeys roost in the trees at night, but once it's daylight, Gary can be anywhere."
She said Gary Jr. Is a worthy successor to his namesake.
"He's following in his footsteps," Kutschinski said. "Same antics of stopping traffic, chasing cars, blocking people from getting out of their driveways."Keep on Civin'

Escaped Kangaroo Punches Canadian Cop
They've made it an honorary member of K9 unit
Police officers east of Toronto dealt with a situation Monday that their training probably never covered: an escaped kangaroo. The animal hopped over its handlers and escaped late last week during what was supposed to be a brief stop at the Oshawa Zoo en route to Quebec. Staff Sgt. Chris Boileau of the Durham Regional Police Service says the kangaroo was spotted in a rural area early Monday and an officer was punched in the face while recapturing it, the CBC reports. "It's something that he and his platoon mates will be remembering for the rest of their careers," he says.
Bouileau says the officers contacted the kangaroo's handlers and on their advice, "they actually just grabbed it by the tail." Videos of the kangaroo running down rural roads was shared on social media on Friday, the day after its escape, but search parties were unable to track it down amid bad weather over the weekend. Officials say the kangaroo is in good shape and will stay at the Oshawa Zoo until it is fully recovered. The officer struck by the kangaroo was not injured and the force apparently doesn't have any hard feelings: CityNews reports that it has been made an honorary member of the K9 unit.
Police released body camera footage of the kangaroo encounter. "The entire incident was not recorded —currently, officers are not required to activate their cameras for interactions with kangaroos as per the DRPS directive (currently under roo-view)," police said in a statement. "This camera recording of the kangaroo was triggered when she nudged one of the responding officers."Keep on Civin'
