eclipse the dog

This is Eclipse. Every day she leaves her house by herself, and takes the bus downtown to the dog park. She even has her own bus pass attached to her collar.

It all started one day when Jeff Young, Eclipse’s owner, was finishing up a smoke at the bus stop. When he took too long, Eclipse just got on the bus and went to the park without him. The pair lives right in front of the bus stop, so once Eclipse realized she could go whenever she wanted, there really wasn’t any stopping her.

“We get separated. She gets on the bus without me, and I catch up with her at the dog park,” Young told Seattle’s KOMO News. “It’s not hard to get on. She gets on in front of her house and she gets off at the dog park, three or four stops later.”

Man is released from prison after serving 29 years for murder he didn’t commit

In the summer of 1992, Eric Riddick was 22 years old when he was convicted of first-degree murder in the November 1991 shooting death of his friend, William Catlett.

The conviction was largely based on the testimony of Shawn Stevenson, an eyewitness who told police four different accounts of what he saw but eventually named Riddick as the shooter in his last statement, according to previous appeals cited by The Associated Press. The eyewitness also said Riddick was on a balcony shooting down at Catlett, however, forensic evidence showed the shots were fired in an upward direction, according to an appeal filed by Riddick.

Stevenson later recanted his testimony in a 1999 affidavit, claiming he was coerced by Philadelphia police to name Riddick

harold camping end of the world

(Photo by Len ​Matthews)

Christian radio host Harold Camping predicted the world would end on May 21, 2011. Followers gave up their jobs, sold their homes, and stopped investing in their children’s college funds.

American Christian radio host Harold Camping stated that the rapture and Judgment Day would take place on May 21, 2011

Camping presented several arguments labeled “numerological” by the mainstream media, which he considered biblical proofs, in favor of the May 21 end time.

A civil engineer by training, Camping stated he had attempted to work out mathematically-based prophecies in the Bible for decades. In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle he explained “… I was an engineer, I was very interested in the numbers. I’d wonder, ‘Why did God put this number in, or that number in?’

It was not a question of unbelief, it was a question of, ‘There must be a reason for it.'”

A photo Aron Ralston took after finding a pool of water. Almost an hour prior to this photo being taken, he had just amputated his own arm after being trapped by a boulder for 5 and a half days.

On April 26, 2003, Aron Ralston was canyoneering alone through Bluejohn Canyon, in eastern Wayne County, Utah, just south of the Horseshoe Canyon unit of Canyonlands National Park. While he was descending the lower stretches of the slot canyon, a suspended boulder became dislodged while he was climbing down from it. The boulder first smashed his left hand, and then crushed his right hand against the canyon wall. Ralston had not informed anyone of his hiking plans, nor did he have any way to call for help.

Saint Bartholomew statue

(photo by Shane Gorski)

This statue depicts Saint Bartholomew, an early Christian martyr who was allegedly skinned alive. If you look closely, you’ll notice that’s not a robe that he’s holding. It’s actually his dissected skin hanging around him. This statute is by Marco d’Agrate, c.1562.

Saint Bartholomew was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. After the Ascension, it’s said the saint traveled to the east, and then onto Greater Armenia. According to traditional hagiography, he was flayed and beheaded there for converting the king to Christianity. Some accounts attest that instead of getting flayed, Bartholomew was crucified upside down like Saint Peter.

Unpacking Mona Lisa at the end of World War II, 1945

Unpacking Mona Lisa at the end of World War II, 1945

Hitler and his cronies had a wish list of works they planned to plunder from the countries they invaded, and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the most famous painting in the world then and now, was at the top of the list. It was Jacques Jaujard, director of France’s National Museums, who thwarted Hitler’s scheme, pulled the wool over the eyes of the collaborationist tools of the Vichy government, and kept the Louvre’s contents, including the Mona Lisa, safe for the duration of the war.

Artist Dain Yoon uses only makeup to create illusions with no editing

Like many artists, Dain Yoon enjoys working with paint. But it’s not a canvas that she puts pigment to—it’s her own body. Using an extensive palette of paints and brushes, she applies the pigment to her skin and transforms herself into amazing optical illusions. Her creations go beyond fooling the eye, and they’re convincing enough to make you believe that she is now what she has painted. And most impressively of all, she does this all without the use of Photoshop or other photo manipulation programs.
