Horror Frog Breaks Own Body to Generate Claws

 Amphibian horror isn't a movie type, but on this proof perhaps it should be. Harvard biologists have described a strange, hairy frog with cat-like extendable claws.



Trichobatrachus robustus vigorously breaks its own bones to produce claws that puncture their way out of the frog's toe pads, most likely when it is threatened.

David Blackburn and colleagues at Harvard University's Museum, think the ghastly behavior is a defense mechanism.

Some other frogs have scrawny spines that assignment from their wrist, but in those classes it appears that the bones grow through the skin rather than pierce it when needed for defense.

The researchers state there are salamanders that strength their ribs through their skin to produce protective barbs on demand, but nothing quite like this mechanism has been seen before.

The characteristic is also found in nine of the 11 frogs belonging to the Astylosternus genus, most of which live in Cameroon.

Amazing Magnetic Boy and his Talents




While the Internet was still abuzz with chatter about the Jerusalem UFO, another weird mystery emerged in February, from the state of Serbia. A seven-year-old boy named Bogdan made international news for his mystic ability to be magnetic.

According to MSNBC, household objects such as spoons, knives, and forks stuck to his skin with almost paranormal ease. Even stranger, other things stuck to him too, such as small plates and small flat glass things. It was quite an unexplained mystery until it was pointed out that whatever made the items to attach Bogdan's bare skin, it was not magnetism, since many of the times were non-metallic. The mysterious capability was in fact due to simple skin friction.

Do You Know about Evil Spot in the Brain?




A German neurologist believes he has pinpointed the area of the brain dependable for violent behavior. Professor Gerhard Roth performed a number of experiments in an effort to determine if there was an exact part of the brain responsible for the types of behavior exhibited by criminals such as thieves, rapists and murderers. We can measure the brain movement of known offenders while showing them few videos.

When there were brutal and squalid scenes, the subjects showed no emotions. In the areas of the brain where we create compassion and sorrow, nothing happened. This is definitely the area of the brain where evil is shaped and where it lurks and where it lurks.After studying the brains of violent killers, rapists and robbers, German neurologist Gerhard Roth claims to have found a dark patch in the center of the intelligence.

A Mysterious Space of Light North Dakota Dark


Wow! Strange and marvelous. Just make a look at this map of America at night. As you'd anticipate, the cities are blazing, the Great Lakes and the oceans dark, but if you look at the center, where the Eastern lights give way to the unfilled Western plains, there's a mysterious bunch of light there that makes wonder.



It's a slight to the left, high up near the Canadian edge. Now run your eye up that line of lights at the center of the country, look over to the upper left: There's a bit that looks like a big city but there is no big city in that part of North Dakota. There's mostly lawn. 

And North Dakota, on several nights, is almost as intense as the aurora borealis. Looking down from the International Space location, those lights are the North Dakota oil fields. The green curve, of course, is the aurora.
