The two tiny islands just two miles apart but with a 21 hour time difference

Two neighbouring tiny islands occupying the same strait are just two miles apart but separated by nearly an entire day.

The Diomede islands - two little landmasses known as Big Diomede and Little Diomede - lie in an unusual spot just below the Arctic Circle.

They are sandwiched between Russia to their west and the US via Alaska to their east, with one owned by each nation.

Russia has claimed the larger of the two isles, an empty plot of land, and the US the smaller, inhabited landmass.

They are connected to their mainland sponsors primarily via their time zones, which, in turn, significantly separates the small islands.

While they are only two miles apart, Little Diomede follows the Alaskan timezone, Alaska Standard Time, while Big Diomede follows the Anadyr, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug timezone, and Anadyr Time.
Following those two timezones means they are separated by the International Date Line, which places them 21 hours apart.

Woman threatens to pee in plane aisle after being ‘refused access to bathroom’

A woman has drawn screams from her fellow passengers after pulling down her clothes and threatening to urinate in the aisle of a plane.

Footage shared online shows the woman standing in the aisle and apologising to fellow passengers after staff reportedly didn’t allow her to use the bathroom.

She said ‘sorry everybody’ before she pulled down her leggings and began to squat, leading to passengers around her gasping and screaming.

Thankfully, it appears she didn’t urinate on the plane floor, and she swiftly pulled her leggings back on.

Debunking the myth of the male hunter: Prehistoric women were BETTER at hunting than men, study claims

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...dy-claims.html

Quote:

While women have long been seen as child-rearers and gatherers and men as hunters, researchers from the Univeristy of Notre Dame have debunked this theory.

Their study found that not only did prehistoric women engage in the practice of hunting, but their female anatomy and biology would have made them intrinsically better suited for it. The main reasons for this biological advantage are hormones - in this case, oestrogen and adiponectin, which are typically present in higher quantities in female bodies than in male.Professor Ocobock said: 'Since fat contains more calories than carbs do, it's a longer, slower burn, which means that the same sustained energy can keep you going longer and can delay fatigue.

Who would have thought that?, I would hazard a guess that those Woolly Mammoths were laughing so much that they had a bleeding heart attack. Mind you, those Male Horny Mammoths could have been aroused so much at the sight of a pair of tits that they tripped up over their fifth leg and broke their bloody necks.
I think the world records below should have been checked first before these Woke Nutters even started their study, you never know, they might even have come up with a different Theory than this one, but I doubt it.

A 12-year-old boy took police in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the United States on an hour-long chase while driving a stolen forklift.

During the pursuit, the vehicle struck approximately 10 parked cars, the police said in a statement.

The force added that its preliminary investigations show the vehicle was unlocked with the key hidden inside when it was taken.

The boy was taken into custody, and the criminal investigation is ongoing.

Customer sues Chopt eatery chain over salad that she says contained a piece of manager’s finger

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. (AP) — A customer has filed a lawsuit against the fast casual chain Chopt over a salad that she says contained a piece of the manager’s finger.

The lawsuit filed Monday by Allison Cozzi of Greenwich, Connecticut, alleges that she bought a salad at a Chopt location in Mount Kisco, New York, on April 7, 2023, and realized while eating it that “she was chewing on a portion of a human finger that had been mixed in to, and made a part of, the salad.”

According to the suit, a manager at the restaurant accidentally severed a piece of her left pointer finger while chopping arugula.

The manager went to the hospital but the contaminated arugula was served to customers including Cozzi, the lawsuit says.

Westchester County health department records show that Chopt was fined $900.

Cozzi said in the lawsuit that she suffered injuries including shock, panic attacks, migraine, cognitive impairment, nausea, dizziness, and neck and shoulder pain as a result of eating the contaminated salad.

She is seeking unspecified monetary damages.

Six teens on trial in Paris in the beheading of a French teacher

The victim showed caricatures of the prophet of Islam to his class. The students are accused of identifying the teacher to the attacker who killed him.

PARIS — Six teenagers are on trial Monday in Paris for their alleged roles in the beheading of a teacher who showed caricatures of the prophet of Islam to his class, a killing that led authorities to reaffirm France’s cherished rights of expression and secularism.

Samuel Paty, a history and geography teacher, was killed on Oct. 16, 2020, near his school in a northwest Paris suburb by an 18-year-old of Chechen origin who had become radicalized. The attacker was in turn shot dead by police.

Paty’s name was disclosed on social media after a class debate on free expression during which he showed caricatures published by the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which triggered a newsroom massacre by extremists in January 2015.

All hearings at a Paris juvenile court are to be held behind closed doors in accordance with French law regarding minors.

The defendants arrived Monday morning at the Paris court, their faces hidden behind masks and hoods, accompanied by their families. The media are not allowed to disclose their identity.

Among those going on trial, a teenage girl, who was 13 at the time, is accused of making false allegations for wrongly saying that Paty had asked Muslim students to raise their hands and leave the classroom before he showed the cartoons. She later told investigators she had lied. She was not in the classroom that day and Paty did not make such a request, the investigation has shown.

Five other students of Paty’s school, then 14 and 15, are facing charges of criminal conspiracy with the aim of preparing aggravated violence to be committed.

They are accused of having waited for Paty for several hours until he left the school and of having identified him to the killer in exchange for promises of payments of 300-350 euros ($348-$406).

The investigation established that the attacker knew the name of the teacher and the address of his school, but he did not have the means to identify him.

The lawyer for one of the defendants, Antoine Ory, said his client is “tormented by remorse and very much afraid of the confrontation with Mr. Paty’s family.” He said the teenager "obviously didn’t know about the criminal plan” of the killer, Abdoullakh Anzorov, a Moscow-born Chechen refugee.

Ory said his client since then had “difficult” times, changed schools and friends and now sees the trial as an opportunity to turn the page.

All six teenagers are facing 2 1/2 years in prison. The trial is scheduled to end on Dec. 8.

Louis Cailliez, the lawyer for Paty’s sister, Mickaëlle, said she wants “to understand the real causes” that led the students to commit something irreparable. He pointed to the “fatal combination of little acts of cowardice, big lies, calumnies, arrangements, complicity and help without which Samuel Paty would still be alive.”

Britain wins litter-picking World Cup with load of rubbish

TOKYO, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Britain came out on top when 21 teams from around the world gathered in Tokyo this week to collect litter in the inaugural SpoGomi World Cup, an initiative aimed at raising awareness of environmental issues.

The teams of three from countries as far afield as Australia and Brazil scoured the streets of Shibuya and Omotesando for 90 minutes over two sessions looking for waste and then sorting what they had found into appropriate categories.

Britain's team, "The North Will Rise Again", beat the host Japanese trio into second place by earning 9,046.1 points for collecting 57.27 kilograms (126.26 lbs) of rubbish.

US Customs officials seize giraffe faeces from woman at Minnesota airport

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal customs agents pooh-poohed the plans of an Iowa woman who wanted to make jewelry from giraffe faeces she picked up on a trip to Kenya and brought back to the U.S. in her luggage.

The woman declared the small box of feces when she was selected to have her belongings inspected upon arriving at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport on Sept. 29, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The woman, who was not identified, told officials she planned to use the waste to make a necklace, as she had done in the past with moose poop.

Giraffe poop can be brought back to the U.S. with the proper permits and inspections, according to Minnesota Public Radio. The station reported that the woman won’t face sanctions because she declared the faeces and gave it to Customs.

The agency’s agriculture specialists destroyed the giraffe poop.
