When you have to use the bathroom, it’s always best to take care of business and go as soon as possible. It’s the most comfortable thing you can do and also good for your health. When Clifford Coulthard, an elder member of the indigenous Adnyamathanha people, was out surveying in a remote area of Australia, he suddenly felt the urge to go.
Being that he was in the middle of nowhere, he simply found a little area where he could relieve himself in private. Little did he know that he was about to stumble onto something amazing that would end up changing Australian history forever.
Clifford had been surveying a mountainous interior region in southern Australia called the Flinders Ranges along with Giles Hamm, an archaeologist. They’d been driving along a rough, dusty road and had pulled over so Clifford could use the bathroom. He walked off and up a creek bed into a gorge where he spotted a natural spring which was surrounded by ancient rock art.
Amazed, he called Hamm over and after looking around they saw a cave set in a cliff some 65 feet above the creek. The smoke blackened roof of the cave is what initially drew their attention and they immediately recognized it as being caused by human activity. Today the cave is known as Warratyi, and it’s one of the most important discoveries in Australian pre-history.
At first Hamm assumed that the cave had been used by humans for maybe 5,000 years or so. When he returned to excavate it alongside local Adnyamathanha people between 2011 and 2014, he was looking for artifacts and to properly date the site.
They dug three foot holes and trenches and carefully sifted through the dirt. By the time they finished the painstaking work, they had recovered about 4,300 artifacts including bone needles, stone tools and emu eggs. They also found 200 pieces of bone from 16 different animals and one reptile.
From these findings, researchers were able to date the site. They used carbon dating on organic materials and to determine the age of quartz particles they measured luminescence.
When the results came back everyone was astounded, they showed that the cave had been used by humans 49,000 years ago! In comparison, all other evidence found in Australia’s interior only dated back about 38,000 years ago, so this new finding was over 10,000 years earlier!
There were other implications that the site had on the understanding of early Australian history. Prior to the discovery, researchers believed that the first humans arrived on the northern coast of Australia 50,000 years ago.
They assumed that these people stayed primarily on the coast and didn’t venture into the rugged interior until thousands of years later. However, the cave and artifacts showed that they had actually gone into the interior much earlier than that and it must have been shortly after they arrived.
As for the bone needles and other tools found, they implicated that the early Australians had mastered technologies sooner than thought.
Hafted axes were dated and found to be 38,000 years old while stone tools with wooden handles were 24,000 years old and the bone needles were 40,000 years old. All of these ages preceded any previously known dates and so early Australians were far more advanced than anyone had assumed.
None of these things would have been discovered if not for Clifford having to go to the bathroom on that fateful day back in 2011. He ended up making one of the most important discoveries in Australian history and now has one heck of a story to tell!

Mother Just Gave Birth To Triplets. But 30 Minutes Later The Doctor Walks Into The Room and Tells Her ‘I’m Sorry’
image via – youtube.com
When Amy and Michael Howard from Center Moriches, New York found out they were expecting triplets, the couple was over the moon. The new parents to be were excited and while they knew generally what to expect, they were totally unprepared for just how much their lives were about to change.
As soon as Amy gave birth in October to the three boys, both she and Michael could tell right away that something was wrong with them. The newborns, Hunter, Jackson, and Caden, all had misshaped heads due to a condition known as craniosynostosis. Infants born with the condition have skulls where the bones have been prematurely joined together inside the uterus, which can lead to an underdeveloped brain and misshapen head. If not corrected early on, the malformation can possibly lead to limited brain function. The Howards thought that since the triplets were crowded in the womb, it had led to the problem, and that now the boys were out they would begin to develop normal head shapes.
Doctors who examined the babies were baffled and astounded by what they found. On average, 1 in 2,500 babies are born with craniosynostosis, but for all three triplets to have it the odds are seemingly impossible at 1 in 500 trillion! Nevertheless, the babies had it and doctors broke the bad news to the couple that all three needed surgery to correct the condition.
When the boys were just nine weeks old, they all underwent the first ever craniosynostosis operations performed on triplets. Thankfully all of them turned out well with no complications and after two days in the hospital the boys were able to go home. They still had a long road to recovery ahead and had to wear special helmets 23 hours a day, seven days a week, for six months to ensure proper skull development.
By the time Hunter, Jackson, and Caden were over a year old, they had all developed normal shaped heads. They had also reached important developmental milestones without any issues and were normal, healthy babies who had managed to overcome the condition they were born with. While the odds were astronomical and never seen before, the outcome was thankfully better than anyone could have expected!

Neighbor Sees This Pup With His Snout Duct Taped. So He Breaks Into The Yard and Does The UNTHINKABLE!
image via – youtube.com
Dogs are amazing creatures. We adore the dogs we own. This is a priviledge that not all canines receive. Sometimes, we forget about all the poor puppies that are treated badly. This story is not about us. It’s about a couple who did recognize a dog in poor conditions and the lengths they went to to protect it.
They first noticed something wrong as soon as they arrived in the house. The neighbor had a concrete yard for a backyard. The couple’s neighbors kept their golden retriever outside attached to a chain. The dog clearly was not a fan of the setup.
The retriever expressed its dissasitsfaction and despair through moans and crying. The owners despised the sounds the dog made and decided to do something even more cruel. They taped the dog’s mouth shut. Not only was it uncomfortable, it was also making breathing difficult for the dog.
When the couple saw this, they couldn’t handle it. They called the police who did nothing. So the couple did the unthinkable: they climbed the fence to their neighbor’s yard and removed all of the various restrictive bindings from the dog. They brought it back to their yard and decided to raise it in conjunction with their previously owned dog. The retriever was certainly lucky to have such empathetic and brave people around to see its plight and rescue it. They were the true heroes.

She Notices a Wet Dog Carrying a Sack During The Hurricane! Then She Trails Him To His Unexpected Final Destination!
image via – youtube.com
Hurricane Harvey left a path of destruction through Texas so devastating nobody ever could’ve expected it. It was not only a Category 4 storm but it was the first big hurricane to hit Texas in over 40 years! There were 68 people who didn’t make it through the storm and lost their lives. It also left so much wildlife and domestic animals stranded and many of these animals didn’t make it through the storm either. There was an average of around 40 inches of rain and in some locations the rain peaked out at 60 inches! This level of water height and damage had never been seen before in Texas and the damage it left behind 125 – 130 billion dollars of damage which was about the same amount that Hurricane Katrina left in 2005.
Even with all the warnings, the residents of south Texas could never be prepared for the devastation that would occur. It was just unthinkable that a storm could hit southern Texas with this much damage and intensity considering a major Hurricane hadn’t hit the area since 1970. While many evacuated, some people actually stayed in their homes, stocked up on supplies and tried to ride out the storm.
One of these people who stayed in her home was a woman named Tiele Dockens. She waited till the worst of the storm passed, walked outside of her home to figure out how bad the damage to her property and the rest of her neighborhood was. While she was out she noticed something quite strange in the distance. At first with all the commotion from the storm she wasn’t sure if she was imagining or hallucinating this, but she slowly walked towards what she spotted and realized this was no hallucination. There was a wet dog carrying some kind of bag or sack and he looked like a pup on mission determined to get to his final destination.
She slowly trailed behind the dog, keeping enough distance so that she wouldn’t spook the pup. Then she realized the sack he was carrying was a giant back of dog food and kibble. This highly intelligent pup somehow found himself a fresh bag of dog food and was just walking through the streets of Texas casually. She snapped a quick photo of the dog carrying his bag of food through the ravaged neighborhood and it quickly went viral. Racking up thousands of likes and shares in just a few hours.
She found out the dog’s name is Otis and he is not a stray. He has a nice loving home, but somehow got it during the storm, made his way to a lumberyard about a mile away, sniffed out the bag of food and decided to stock up just like his human counterparts were. Otis instantly became an internet star and a local superstar overnight!

He Had a Rare Disease Called ‘Tree Man Syndrome’. The Docs Do Surgery But Come Back In and Say ‘I’m Sorry’.
image via – youtube.om
Abud Bajandar is a 28 year old man who lives with his wife and four year old daughter in Bangladesh. He drew international attention a few years ago because of a rare medical condition that affects his hands and feet. They are covered in gnarled growths that look like tree bark and these skin lesions have wreaked havoc on every part of his life. He cannot do the simple everyday things that people take for granted, like feed himself, and he’s unable to work or provide for his family. He can’t even wear standard clothing because it’s so uncomfortable and he’s unable to hold his little girl.
Abud has what is known as Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, which is more commonly called “tree man” syndrome. It is extremely rare with just 200 ever known cases worldwide. The condition is caused by an immune system defect that leaves people with an abnormally high vulnerability to human papillomaviruses, HPVs, of the skin. Unable to fight off certain types of HPV, the infections take hold and result in scaly, gnarled, uncontrollable warts and growths that look like tree bark.
These are associated with a very high risk of skin cancer and while most people develop the disease when they’re younger, onset has been reported in older, middle aged adults. There is no known cure and surgery is the most often pursued treatment because in many cases the growths become cancerous and need to be removed.
Thankfully for Abul, doctors at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital learned about his condition and offered to treat him for free. They removed more than 11 pounds of growths from his hands and feet, and for the first time in more than a decade he was finally unencumbered by his rare syndrome and could finally hold his little girl. After twenty five surgeries and living in a small room in the hospital for months with his wife and child, he left to go home.
However, things did not go as planned and he was soon back in the hospital when the growths came back.This time they are worse than ever, with warts spreading to other parts of his body. Abul has lost hope and fears he will never be cured. The pain is so great that he cannot sleep at night and he has begged doctors to cut off his hands to rid him from the immense pain and suffering.
The medical team treating him are holding off on such drastic measures. Instead they have developed another plan to try and treat him once again. This time the government has stepped in to cover the costs of all his future treatments and the hopes of being able to hold his little girl again have given him a renewed sense of strength to carry on.

THIS Deer Attempts To Reveal Something To This Family In The Yard. After They Spot THIS They Immediately Call The Cops!
image via – youtube.com
It is no big secret that animals have feelings and emotions. If you have ever had a dog you know that when they do something wrong and they are caught with their paw in the cookie jar they know they did something wrong and feel guilty.
Dogs aren’t the only animals with feelings, almost all animals large and small express feelings and try to communicate them to the outside world. In the wild, fear of a predator will have animals calling out to eachother and warning that danger is lurking nearby. Animals truly do have remarkable instincts and highly developed brains which make them capable of so so much.
Today’s story features a wild deer who was named Hank by his neighbors in Texas. One day a family was having breakfast when they looked out the window and saw a strange sight at a nearby house. A deer was just standing by a tree but it looked like he was struggling a bit and they couldn’t really tell what exactly was going on. Their curiosity led them outside as they walked towards the deer who seemed to have been trying to get their attention and finally had succeeded.
When they got closer to the deer they noticed something very odd, it looked as if he was tied by a rope or leash to the tree and wasn’t able to free himself. The family saw the struggling deer who was desperately trying to break away from the tree he was tied to however he was having no luck. They decided that instead of them intervening on their own, they would call the police and hpefully somebody from animal control could help them free the deer and bring him to a safe place in the forest.
Finally the police showed up and they immediately began asking questions to try an understand the current strange situation. Then they quickly jumped into action by removing the leash. The weird thing is, after the leash was removed the deer didn’t immediately run away into the woods! It seemed like he just wanted to hang out with the police and this family on this beautiful afternoon. After a bit of coaxing the officers finally got the deer out of sight as it made its way back into the forest.
Local news ended up arriving at the scene because this story was just too interesting to pass up. They interviewed the family first then as they were interviewing the police officer all of a sudden the deer popped out of the brush and walked right up to the cop who saved him. It almost looked and felt as if the deer was trying to give this police officer a proper thank you for freeing him from the shackles and tree he was tied to.
