You feel helpless sitting in standstill traffic day after day, but one man in China took matters into his own hands. He was caught on surveillance cameras painting his own traffic directions on a lane he thought was under-utilized, and redirected traffic the opposite way. Authorities fined him for his dangerous behavior as cars had to swerve around him as he painted.
Police in Massachusetts had to pull over a rogue Christmas tree they found driving down the highway. After investigating further, they realized there was a car underneath it, almost entirely covered by the giant tree’s branches.
Believe it or not, the Navy has routinely hosed its soldiers with pepper spray every three years. The training involves being sprayed in the eyes, then completing a combat circuit. The exercise was meant to keep their soldiers ready to operate under duress.

Researchers at the University of Washington have collected samples of what is the deepest living fish discovered so far. The Mariana snail fish lives in the Midnight Zone—named for the pitch blackness of its waters—one of the deepest parts of the Mariana Trench. These delicate-looking pink and white fish survive the crushing pressure and harsh environment of the deep by feasting on invertebrates that other fish can’t swim deep enough to eat.
