One new development related to this happy couple's marriage is a new video from Discovery investigating why some women seem to fall in love with psychopaths and serial killers:
Just an FYI, as a sign of devotion, Star has shaved her head and put the original "Manson X" on her forehead as a sign of devotion:

Joaquin Phoenix's Strange and Talented Forehead
Although many actors seem to have a quirk or anomaly they're famous for, I think having a forehead that actually acts out it own scenes simultaneously in your movies has got to be the strangest so far...

A "Smelfie" is a video selfie in which the videographer passes gas and records the reaction those in his vicinity.
The most famous Smelfie taken to date is one in which a flatulent fan releases his noxious wind within a nose's reach of the lovely Bruna Marquezine.

"Miracle Mike" the Headless Chicken that Lived for 18 Months!
Miracle Mike, the Headless Chicken was featured in Life Magazine on October 22nd, 1945.
Millions of chickens lose their heads daily, though many cause a bit of excitement with children, no other headless chicken has ever lived as long as Mike.
Video's of headless chickens milling about are common as well; some with odd music choices that make for a strangely relaxing but morbid video:

The Real Clayton Bigsby? Video Interview with the Black Man who Joined the Kolorado Ku Klux Klan - Ron Stallworth!
Although it sounds like something out of a Mel Brooks movie, it was actually an undercover police mission to gather intelligence about the plans of the Klans and the mission landed squarely in the lap of Officer Ron Stallworth who pulled it off and actually prevented 3 hate crimes in his community.
Although most of his interaction with other members was over the phone, sometimes even with David Duke himself (who boasted while on the line with Stallworth that he could always tell what color the person on the other end of a phone call was) he did have another officer 'stand in' for him when in-person meetings were required. His in-person 'double' was actually another cop named "Chuck" who Ron jokingly refers to as "the white Ron Stallworth."
The videos below are interviews with Ron Stallworth and his interesting story of being a Black Member of the KKK!

Although the headline makes for a strange news headline, we do support and respect Ron Stallworth in his mission and can't imagine how difficult it must have been at times to not break cover and actively participate in certain conversations. Well don Ron!

Whale Explosion Videos 2014
Exploding sperm whale (original video and slow motion)
Of course when a whale like the bloater in Newfoundland refuses to explode on it's one, you can always use some dynamite to coax it along!

The Melting People of The Brazilian village of Araras - Xeroderma Pigmentosum (aka "XP")
The affected community has the highest rate of XP, a condition that prevents the skin from being able to repair damage done by UV rays.
Doctor Vikram Singh Yadav has one of the better videos explaining Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) and provides a simple explanation:
Normally when you walk in sunlight, ultraviolet part of sunlight damages the cells of epidermis and DNA, this damage is usually repaired by set of enzymes known as nucleotide excision repair enzymes. But in this condition this ability to repair is lost. So exposure to sunlight must be avoided in such conditions. When exposed many times leads to formation of squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma which is the cause of death in such patients who usually dies in their teenage group. Earlier symptoms are freckles on face, sunburn on minimal exposure to sunlight, skin blisters etc. Watch our previous video to have pics and video of Xeroderma Pigmentosum.

The Strange History of the Olympic Torch Lighting Ceremony
The history of the the torch lighting in Olympia and the runners carrying the flame to the games may seem like an ancient tradition, but it is actually a Nazi invention proposed possibly by Carl Diem and using a torch originally crafted by the Krupp Company and modeled after a ceremonial torch they used to ignite a new furnace in their factory meant to produce cannons...
The parabolic mirror used to light the Olympic torch uses the sun's rays.

.
Some Christians contest the ceremony as it represents Olympian Priestesses praying to Apollo to send fire from the heavens via the sun's rays
This year's lighting of the torch can be watched in its entirety below, there is no hiding the fact that they do use the term "ritual" and "high priestess" a number of times:

Lose Weight by Eating Tapeworms? 2014 Video Experiment, LIVE TAPEWORMS!
If Michael Mosley's experiment is any prediction then it may not work. He ate a mason jar of tapeworms and let them thrive inside of him for 6 weeks. It's interesting (and 'revolting') to note that he also swallowed a tiny camera so he would watch his little friends at work inside of him.
Although they are easy enough to get rid of, the thought of purposely having a '12 footer' inside of you and breaking off little rice-like spawn visible in your stool is enough to make a mountain man swoon.

Service Monkey Videos, Only Strange at First...
"Helping Hands" is the authority
"The human-animal bond is tremendous, and difficult to quantify, says Dowdy. Our recipients appreciate the monkeys help with tasks to regain a sense of independence, but beyond that, they cite companionship as the biggest impact on their lives." - Jennifer Dowdy

The Truth Behind The Dead Mermaid Found in Florida?
Several instances of the dead mermaid video have bubbled up in recent years but no one seemed to be eager to take credit... If this is a sculpture, it is hugely valuable based on the interest in the video.
We have tracked down an amazing artist named Juan Cabana of "the Fiji Mermaid" fame and although some believers / researchers may feel tricked by these shocking videos we believe Juan has done an amazing job of allowing our imaginations to run wild.
Thank you Juan!
UPDATE!
By the way, The Mermaid in the photo above is named "Nernia" and she was actually purchased by a collector for $10,000!
