After You See What They Pull Out Of This Sea Turtle’s Nose You Will Never Litter Again!
Off the pacific coast of Costa Rica, a team of marine biologists who were researching turtles, brought a grown, male olive ridley sea turtle aboard their boat. They were shocked to find something stuck inside his left nostril which they believed to be a worm of some kind.
Seeing that the turtle’s breathing was impeded they proceeded to attempt to dislodge it as carefully as possible. They were concerned that perhaps this worm had lodged into the turtle’s brain stem. Feeling that they had no choice but to dislodge it, in order to save the turtle’s life, they were really concerned that moving it the wrong way could also end in it’s demise.
After working on it’s removal for several minutes they cut off a piece of it to discern what it actually was. They were shocked and angered to discover that it was not anything organic. Rather it was something completely man-made and a result of improper recycling that is contaminating our oceans and endangering sea life.
After nearly 8 minutes of carefully pulling at the lodged object, they pulled out a 10-12 inch plastic drinking straw! Unfortunately they had nothing to sedate the turtle, so the procedure was painful. The video of this quickly went viral on YouTube, getting nearly 5 million views. “For the turtle, the wound would have been fatal had we left the plastic inside its nostril,” reported one of the researchers.
This video, although disturbing, luckily saved this turtle’s life. There are many plastic objects, like straws, that get lodged in sea animals, which ultimately kill them. The team disinfected the hole where the straw had been, and were forced by law to release the turtle back into the wild.
The footage is graphic but is important to watch. It illustrates well the potential life-threatening consequences of the tons of garbage that ends up in the sea. “We disinfected the air passageway with iodine and kept the turtle for observation before releasing him back into the wild,” the team reported on YouTube.
“The bleeding stopped pretty much immediately after the removal of the straw.” The good news is that this turtle’s life was saved. The next time you think about littering remember this turtle and think twice. Help spread this lucky turtle’s story so others can understand.

Mom Says Nope He Can’t Sit On Her Lap In The Car. The Pup Then Throws The Funniest Hissy Fit!
Dogs share a lot of things in common with little kids, especially puppies. They both love to eat, sleep, poop, play, and every once in awhile they throw a temper tantrum. If you have a pet you know that they either love the car or hate it. In most cases dogs tend to love road trips while cats would rather avoid a car ride at all costs. However as with most things in life there are always exceptions to the rule.
It’s inevitable but sometimes their little hissy fits are more adorable than they are annoying! That’s how Napoleon’s tiny tantrum turned out in this home video that his foster mom shot. Napoleon is the cutest and most precious little Dachshund I have ever seen. With that being said Napoleon and his mama were in the car one day, with mama in the driver’s seat and him riding shotgun beside her.
Napoleon really wanted to curl up in her lap and snuggle but she wouldn’t let him sit there because it’s simply not safe. The poor puppy was still too young to understand her well-intentioned “no” so he protested against it in the cutest possible way that he could! Napoleon whimpers and whines as he cries his way through the short clip!
The black and tan little fuzz-ball moves around unsteadily on his tiny legs and smooshes his face into the seat while giving his saddest puppy eyes to the camera. He makes the most adorable faces, especially when he sticks out his tongue and cries like a baby, which he does several times! He really knows how to work his sweetness to his advantage because all that adorableness would be super hard to say no to.
In the end, mom’s word is law. Safety first means he stays where he is, besides she doesn’t want him to form any bad habits, especially in the car! Watch the video below and enjoy the adorableness. This sweet pup is guaranteed to melt your heart. Just look at that precious little face. Napoleon is the cutest puppy I’ve seen all day!

He Pours Boiling Hot Water On His Dented Bumper. Now Watch What Happens To The Dent!
Who wouldn’t like to save on the expense of bringing your car to a body shop when your bumper has been dented without any damage to the paint. There are plenty of auto body repairs that you can take care of yourself, but the DIY approach you are about to watch in this video is so simple with incredible results!
Using a pail or teapot of boiling water, you will see how miraculously this guy fixes a dent to perfection. Probably using rubber gloves for the safety of your hands would be advisable. He pours a good amount of hot water on the outside of dent. I’m watching, and can’t imagine where this is going!
He then reaches into the wheel well while the urethane is still hot and malleable, and pushes the bumper out to it’s original shape (This is best done on newer cars that have urethane rather than the metal on much older cars). It just pops right out, looking exactly as it did before the damage.
How does that magic occur? The heat causes the plastic of the bumper to expand, allowing for flexibility that enables you to pop it back into shape. Pouring a pot of cold water on it once it’s been reshaped will quickly cool it down, shrinking the plastic back into place and setting it in it’s repaired position.

Apparently This Is What Happens When You Eat Garlic On An Empty Stomach In The Morning!
If you want to ward off evil spirits and vampires, hang a clove of garlic around your neck or on the door of your house. Ancient wisdom, myths, and old wives tales all tell us that by doing so it will help to keep such dark forces at bay.
While that may or may not be the case, garlic is regarded as a well known powerhouse of a food that can help keep us healthy. The pungent bulbs provide our bodies with numerous health benefits when eaten and ingested or used as a topical solution.
If you eat garlic first thing in the morning, before breakfast and on an empty stomach, you can help strengthen and heal yourself. The following are some of the many health benefits that your body may naturally derive from it. Firstly, it is thought to be an anti-cancer food.
It’s recognized by the National Cancer Institute as potentially having anticancer properties, although more studies are needed to determine how and why. Its anti-cancer link may be due to the fact that it helps relieve oxidative stress. This means its natural antioxidant properties aid our bodies in removing damage causing free radicals and thus provide protection against them.
Garlic also reduces both blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels. Studies have shown it lowers the “bad” type of cholesterol that puts people at increased risk for heart attacks. Which leads us the fact that it helps prevent atherosclerosis, the narrowing and hardening of arteries that decreases blood flow and leads to blood clots and heart attacks.
In a similar ‘vein’ garlic promotes overall circulatory health because it acts as a natural blood thinner, making it easier for our hearts to pump blood, and reduces the risk of clots.
Furthermore, garlic helps stabilize blood sugar. Studies show it increases the amount of insulin available in people with diabetes and thus helps regulate the amount of glucose in the blood. Other associated benefits are that it improves impotence, prevents yeast infections, helps our bodies absorb minerals, cleans and reduces fatty build up in the liver, acts as a natural antibiotic, and protects against osteoarthritis.
Oh yeah, and garlic is excellent at boosting your immune system because it’s packed with nutrients like fiber, Vitamins C and B6, potassium, and calcium. If you ever have a cold skip the meds and instead pop some garlic since it has been proven to help reduce the severity of symptoms associated with the flu and common cold.
There you have it, some of the many ways that garlic can benefit your body, health and mind. Many people find that eating it raw is nearly impossible to stomach, since it’s so potent, and that cooking it makes it much more palatable and brings out the best flavors it has to offer. Below is a recipe for oven roasted garlic. Now you have no excuse to not eat more of this super-food!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Take a bulb of garlic and remove the dried, papery outer skin. Carefully cut off the top of the bulb with a sharp knife. Take a piece of tin foil and lay it flat, place an equal sized piece of parchment paper directly on top of the foil, and finally place the garlic atop the parchment paper.
Drizzle the garlic bulbs with olive oil and wrap them up neatly and tightly in the foil. Place them on a pan in the oven and roast for 1 hour. Remove, unwrap, and allow the garlic to cool. Gently squeeze the garlic bulbs to remove the cloves and serve or use them right away. You may also place them in a covered storage container and keep them for a few days in the refrigerator.

This Guy Rubs A Raw Tomato On Cheese Grater. The Reason Is Brilliant!
What is more delicious than a great tomato sauce on pasta? Traditional homemade sauces that some of us remember our Italian grandma’s cooking for family Sunday dinners, hold great memories, but took many hours simmering and stirring until it arrived at the table. Although such sauces are fantastic, what if you could actually skip all of that cooking and achieve a fantastic home-made sauce to pour over your pasta?
After watching this tantalizing and simple DIY video, in which Food & Wine’s Justin Chapple illustrates how to make a completely fresh tomato sauce that can be ready in minutes, I tried making this. All that I needed was a square grater, some fresh ripe tomatoes, salt, pepper and olive oil.
What’s so amazing about the technique Justin demonstrates, is that it eliminates the need for peeling and dicing the tomatoes. I added some oregano, and fresh basil (as he did) and I have to tell you that my family was blown away at how delicious the sauce was! If you try this, please let us know how yours came out.

Video: Adorable Flower Girl Pulls Her Daddy To The Side To Tell Him Not To Embarrass Her During The Wedding!
We all think our kids are the most adorable, smartest children ever! However little JoJo belongs to one dad who really has some bragging rights. She coins the phrase “out of the mouths of babes”. She has clearly thought through the perils of having her proud dad watching her go down the aisle as a flower girl, in a wedding procession that is about to occur.
Clearly she knows her dad well, and feels the need to educate him about the proper decorum during a wedding processional. Their banter is hysterical as she instructs him not to call her name or shout out anything. She knows that daddy’s tend to never follow rules and are always a big embarrassment!
She clearly doesn’t trust his ability to contain himself as he watches his precious girl walk down the aisle. Hold onto your seats as you watch this precocious little doll try to reason with her dad about the consequences of not following her careful instructions.
She warn him that he will not only embarrass her, but people “will think he’s a bad daddy” if he doesn’t behave himself! I had to watch this a few times because I just couldn’t get over this adorable little JoJo. I kind of get why her dad can’t contain himself!

I Was Confused When She Cut Into This Guy’s Underwear. But When She’s Done It’s Brilliant!
At first I had no idea what to expect. What could she possibly do with that underwear to make it a useful piece of clothing, other than the obvious use of covering the nether regions? Is she going to make some type of fashionable lady pants? Or maybe a hat so magnificent that the queen of England would be jealous?
Maybe it will become some type of underwater breathing device that Leonardo Da Vinci wishes he had thought of. Could she have discovered some way to power a vehicle armed with only a single pair of underwear and the perfect cut? Impossible, you say, but the world is a strange and wondrous place.
Although I will be the first to admit that she is about as likely to do that as she is to use them to grow ultra efficient vegetables to solve the perennial problem of world hunger. Somebody probably knows how to do it, but just hasn’t gotten it on youtube yet.
What she does proceed to create is arguably just as useful. With a few simple cuts, she transforms the underwear into something unrecognizable. I’ll give you a hint: you can wear it, but it is not underwear. It goes on the upper portion of the body, not the lower.
It will keep things safe and supported, while looking as fashionable as can be. The best part about this DIY project is that, you guessed it, you can do it yourself! So go grab some scissors and a pair of underwear and get to work! Let us know how it comes out!
