If You're Having A Bad Day, Just Be Thankful You Don't Have A Giant Splinter

If you asked people to rate the most painful thing that ever happened to them, near the top of that list would probably be some pretty horrible splinters. Even though they're mostly tiny specks of wood, splinters cause a ton of pain. However, if you're particularly unlucky, you might one day have a splinter that is both giant and causes incredible amounts of pain — much like the unfortunate gentleman in the video below.

WARNING. If you're eating lunch, you might want to pass on this video. It's super gross.

That right there is the reason why we should wear our shoes all the time. I'm going straight out after this and buying a new pair of steel-toed boots. I never want to get that splinter!

It Took A Massacre To Turn The World’s Focus Back To Syria

While U.S. coalition forces are busy fighting Islamic State terrorists, Bashar al-Assad is allegedly killing thousands of people in Syria.

Syrian government warplanes attacked a market in the rebel-held town of Douma on Sunday, killing at least 82 people and wounding hundreds, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and aid groups.

A graphic video purportedly showing the aftermath of the attack was posted online on Sunday:

Syrian government warplanes attacked a market in the rebel-held town of Douma on Sunday, killing at least 82 people and wounding hundreds, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and aid groups. A graphic video purportedly showing the aftermath of the attack was posted online on Sunday: The tragic incident, which is now being called an “official massacre,” has finally shifted the world’s focus from Islamic State terrorists towards Syria where a four-year-old civil war has resulted in the deaths of almost quarter of a million people, including nearly 12,000 children.

Ever since the ISIS established a self-proclaimed caliphate in the Middle East last June, questions were raised as to how the United States and coalition forces would deal with the new problem in the embattled region – especially when Syria’s biggest war criminal, its President Bashar al-Assad, was still at large.

With the West busy in fighting off ISIS terrorists in Iraq over the past year, it turns out Assad had allegedly been killing thousands of people in his country.

As of June 30, the conflict in Syria had killed nearly 11,100 people this year,according to USAID figures, with most of the deaths caused by attacks carried out by the Syrian Arab Republic Government (SARG) and pro-SARG forces – nearly 7,000 civilians.

Moreover, as per Syrian Revolution Network, an online network of activists, around 50 markets have been bombed by the Assad regime since January and the market in Douma was bombed twice in four days. (Note: These figures have not been independently verified.)

The Syrian civil war has turned into the worst humanitarian crisis in modern times and even more horrifying is the fact that the world community has not been able to do much to put an end to the miseries of the affected people.

The massacre of Douma is a stark reminder of how the West should not turn a blind eye to Assad’s atrocities while battling ISIS in the region.

Apart from the loss of life, the conflict in Syria has displaced more than 11 million people, including 7.6 million people internally and more than 3.9 million people to neighboring countries.

Wedding turns into scuffle

A wedding staged in the middle of the road in Lebanon turned into a scuffle after the groom and relatives attacked a bus trying to pass in that area.
A YouTube film published in regional newspapers showed the impatient bus driver started to honk incessantly to press them to clear the road before they assaulted him.
The film showed the groom ran towards the bus and banged its windshield with a sharp object, causing a crack on top of the glass.
Newspapers did not say how the incident ended nor did they mention where in Lebanon the wedding took place.

Real-Life Batman Dies After Crash In Batmobile

A local hero who visited sick children in hospitals dressed as Batman was killed on Sunday night when his Batmobile broke down on a highway.

A local hero who visited sick children in hospitals dressed as Batman was killed on Sunday night when his Batmobile broke down on a highway.

Lenny B. Robinson had pulled his car over on Interstate 71 in Maryland and got out to check his engine. As he did a Toyota Camary struck his car propelling the Batmobile into Robinson and killing him.

The Capped Crusader had donned the costume and visited children since 2001. The idea started after he dressed up as Batman for his son, but then noticed how other children reacted to the get-up.

“These visits provide an immediate boost for these kids," Jeffrey Dome, the oncology division chief at Children’s National Medical Center in Northwest Washington, told the Washington Post in 2012. "Some of these children have to stay for weeks or months at a time. ... A visit from a superhero is sort of like a fantasy in the middle of all this hard-core therapy."

Robison became Internet famous after cops pulled him over in 2012 on Route 29 for having his license plates adorned with Batman symbols. Video of the police encounter made him an instant online hit.

The Dark Knight believed that children were drawn to the character because of Batman’s easy relatability.

“Batman is the only super hero that doesn’t have super powers,” he said. “He’s naturally a super hero. Kids can relate to me a lot better.”

Police Noticed Something That Could Tie This Triple Murder To Witchcraft

The people of Pensacola, Florida, are shocked and baffled by a triple murder that recently took place in the beach town. To make this devastating situation worse, older residents feel that this heinous act of violence is steeped in witchcraft.
Based on gruesome evidence found at the scene, police believe that the culprit was partaking in an occult ceremony connected with the moon, which brings no comfort to neighbors and their families.

Voncile Smith, 77, John William Smith, 49, and Richard Thomas Smith, 47, were found dead in their Pensacola home on Friday, July 31.

The date of the murders coincided with a blue moon, which is a phenomenon that only occurs once every three years.

According to police, the victims were hit with a blunt object and their throats were slit.

They were also positioned in a manner that suggests unwilling participation in an occultist ritual.

There's no evidence of forced entry, which means that the Smiths probably knew their killer.

Interestingly, the entomological origin of the term "blue moon" is "belewe," which translates to "betray."

Pensacola police say that they've found a person of interest who's associated with the family and practices witchcraft. Until this murderer is sitting in a jail cell, however, I suggest that residents get familiar with the lunar calendar. It could be a matter of life or death.
