Fearless raccoon

Have you seen the climbing raccoon? The adventurous raccoon climbed 25 floors and stole people's hearts. Last Saturday the animal climbed the USB Plaza building in Saint Paul (Minnesota). While the raccoon was going up, the whole group of spectators: journalists and local onlookers were following his every step. Photos and videos of the raccoon went viral on the internet with #MPRraccoon. Although everyone was rooting for him, they couldn't do anything to help him, because it's impossible to open the windows in the buildings. Fortunately, everything ended up well: the raccoon after reaching the roof, was caught, transported in the cage and let free in more save place :)

5 WEIRD RULES THAT ROYAL FAMILY HAS TO FOLLOW

Being royal has plenty of perks, but it’s not always that great to be a part of the Family. Anyone who has ever watched The Crown or any other documentary about British Royal Family, knows that with the power and privileges come also responsibilities and set of rules they’re obligated to follow. You might have already heard about some of the Royals weird traditions, this is the list of 5 rules that I, personally, find the most bizarre. 1. They can not play Monopoly Why? It’s simple.

In 2015: More people have died by taking selfies than by shark attacks

Although people tend to be afraid of shark attacks, the fear is not entirely justified and it most likely a result of movies fiction than being a witness of one. In fact, in 2015, there have been twelve recorded selfie deaths in comparison to eight people dying because of shark attacks. Most of the selfie-related deaths have been due to falling. The next most common is when people are trying to take a selfie, and they're hit by a moving vehicle. In order to get a good shoot people risk more and more. Everyone wants to have an unique picture. Some are crossing the line and in exchange for likes are taking the whole selfie thing a little too far. In Russia selfie deaths have become so popular that the government even released a guide detailing how not to die while taking a picture of yourself.

Christmas Traditions

We’re all used to Polish Christmas traditions and they don’t seem to be weird for us but some foreigners might find them unusual. Just like we consider many of their habits quite bizarre. Here’s the list of 8 that I find particularly different. 1. In Austria, parents threat their children with Krampus- the evil brother of Santa that comes overnight on 5 th and 6 th of December and punishes bad kids. He’s truly scary and has goat’s horns on his head. During this night we may encounter many people dressed as Krampus in the streets. 2. Japanese eat KFC on Christmas Day. 3. In India the traditional Christmas tree is a banana or mango tree. 4. Women in Czech Republic have a tradition to make some predictions or foretells during the Holiday.
