An El Paso resident woke up to a disturbing discovery which was finding blood on her face that seeped through the ceiling while she was asleep.

The woman says she woke up around 4 a.m. to the sound of something dripping. When she got up to see what the noise was, she said what she thought was rain was actually blood splattered across the walls, her bed and her body.

It was later discovered the blood belonged to the woman’s upstairs neighbor who reportedly died of natural causes.

Plague of ravenous, destructive mice tormenting Australians​

At night, the floors of sheds vanish beneath carpets of scampering mice. Ceilings come alive with the sounds of scratching. One family blamed mice chewing electrical wires for their house burning down.

Vast tracts of land in Australia’s New South Wales state are being threatened by a mouse plague that the state government describes as “absolutely unprecedented.” Just how many millions of rodents have infested the agricultural plains across the state is guesswork.

New Stupid Fad: Dry Scooping

Star OnlyFans model suffers heart attack mid-striptease after trying out dangerous ‘dry scooping’ fad​

This mid-striptease heart attack on the part of the OnlyFans model was apparently brought on by her having swallowed a spoonful of dry workout powder before hitting the gym.

This practice of “dry scooping” is evocative of the dangerous fad from the early 2000s in which young people would pressure one another to swallow a teaspoon of cinnamon, sometimes with fatal results.

We do some charity work for local parish schools and the state of their books was truly deplorable. Accounting works. You'd think a group that believes in Original Sin would audit their books once in a while.

Ah, the Truth is still putting it's boots on. If you listen to the whole comment he made rather than the selected quotes and spin in the headline, he was making the point climate is more affected by orbits and sun changes than by the Forest Service. I think the judge is aware the Forest Service can't change Earth's orbit.

One can disagree as to if factors like sun activity or the orbital patterns of Earth affect the climate. You'd be wrong, but, at least you won't get a headline that intentionally or negligently misses the point.

There's nuttery in the man, not stupidity. Google "terror babies".

Yeah. I think the sun is probably innocent here.

As far as orbits go... we're actually getting slightly further from the sun every year. As the sun burns through its nuclear fuel, it loses mass. Less mass means weaker gravity. I believe we're moving away from the sun at the rate of 10-15 cm per year. Insignificant given the size of the Solar System, but still kind of crazy.

Manhattan City Council candidate caught with dominatrix in leaked video​

Zack Weiner, 26, a City Council candidate running in Manhattan, has found his campaign tied up after video of him enjoying a sadomasochism session found its way onto Twitter.

Honestly, props to this kid for not apologizing.

“I didn’t want anyone to see that, but here we are. I am not ashamed of the private video circulating of me on Twitter. This was a recreational activity that I did with my friend at the time, for fun. Like many young people, I have grown into a world where some of our most private moments have been documented online.” Weiner said in a statement.

“I am a proud BDSMer. I like BDSM activity,” Weiner told The Post. He refused to name the woman in the video and said he had no idea how on earth the footage surfaced.

Do I think he's in to weird sex stuff? Yes. Do I think it's very funny that his name is Weiner? Of course. Is this literally anybody's business? Nope. He wasn't fucking little kids or grooming teenagers.

Fuck whoever leaked this. Fuck the Post for publishing it.
