Prepare for a hellish invasion of daddy-long-legs

Image
Daddy-long-legs are evil insects who want to watch the world burn. And this year we’re preparing for a mass invasion. The hellish crane flies lay their larvae under lawns during winter – but a huge majority is normally wiped out by cold weather. However, because last winter was particularly mild, more have survived than usual, say experts. Entomologist Barry Warrington, from Hull, said: ‘It is definitely a bumper year this year, simply due to the nice weather. ‘It has not been as cold, there is a lot more for them to prey on.  I think last year was a bit colder, so there wasn’t as many daddy long legs, but this year there are more than last. ‘Warmer conditions suit them more, and they are actually out earlier than usual this year. ‘They eat smaller insects and the warm weather is good for them too. ‘People will start to see them even more in the last couple of weeks as they head indoors for warmth, shelter and to find a mate.’ SOURCE

UK to build £25m Jamaican prison

Image
The UK is to spend £25m on building a prison in Jamaica so that foreign criminals in the UK can be sent home to serve sentences in the Caribbean. The project has been agreed to break the deadlock in negotiations over a prisoner transfer deal between the two countries. More than 600 Jamaican nationals are in UK jails but cannot be deported because of Jamaica's poor prison conditions. Officials say the foreign aid-funded deal could save taxpayers £10m a year when transfers begin in 2020. More than 300 existing offenders are expected to be sent back under the Jamaica prison scheme, which covers those sentenced to at least four years who have 18 months or more left to serve in custody. Currently they cannot be sent to Jamaica because of fears that jail conditions in the country would allow a successful challenge under human rights law. Jamaica is third highest in the list of foreign countries with nationals serving prison sentences in the UK.. Almost 70% of...

12-year-old girl scores 162 in the Mensa IQ test, beats Einstein and Hawking

Image
A young girl in the UK has outperformed geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking in a Mensa-supervised IQ test.  Twelve-year-old Lydia Sebastian from Essex took the test in an attempt to enter the society, which only accepts the top 2 percent of IQs, and scored 162 - the maximum possible score for people under 18 years old.  Einstein never took a modern IQ test, but it's believed that he had an IQ of 160, the same score as Hawking. Only 1 percent of those who sit the Mensa test achieve the maximum mark, and the average score is 100. A 'genius' test score is generally considered to be anything over 140. This is the second time in a month that a young female has outperformed some of the best minds in science - 12-year-old Nicole Barr, also from the UK, achieved the same score in August - and it's pretty encouraging news that shows age isn't a limiter for intelligence. However, its also important to note that IQ tests, or intelligence quotient tests, a...

Woman crashes car while pleasuring herself with a sex toy

Image
A woman caused a road traffic collision due to pleasuring herself with a sex toy. The lady was reportedly driving her Mini when she suddenly lurched forward and hit a stationary van being driven by an M&J Seafood employee. The driver later explained that it was his first day on the job and when he was later called into the company office, in Cirencester, he feared for his job. However his bosses told him that he wasn’t to blame as the incident had been caught on CCTV – which explained something completely out of the ordinary. The footage showed the woman exit her vehicle holding a pink ‘Rampant Rabbit sex toy’ and zipping up her trousers. A source told Mirror.co.uk: ‘The bosses told him it wasn’t his fault and then said, “Have you seen this?”. He was like “what the f**k?”. They all had a good laugh.”‘ The company say they will not be releasing the ID of their driver or the CCTV footage .

Not so happy Voter Drew A Penis On Their Ballot Paper

Image
A furious voter drew a photo of a penis on his ticket paper rather than a X for a Tory MP - and it considered a vote.  Preservationist MP Glyn Davies today uncovered how the voter's penis dissent exploded backward by issuing him the additional vote.  Also, as opposed to being considered a ruined vote chicken up, the returning officer chose to consider it a legitimate X.  Mr Davies said: "One voter chose to draw a nitty gritty representation of a penis rather than a cross  on one poll paper.  "Amazingly, on the grounds that it was flawlessly drawn inside the limits  the returning officer esteemed it a substantial vote.  "Not certain the craftsman implied it to number, but rather I am thankful.  Agriculturist Mr Davies held his seat in Montgomeryshire in Mid Wales with "fundamentally developed" lion's share of 5,325 votes.  Mr Davies said: "In the event that I knew who it was, I might want to express gratitude toward ...
