Meet Budweiser’s New Baby Clydesdales!
The Clydesdale breed of horse is iconic. Americans have adopted the gentle giants as cultural symbols of good old fashioned grit, strength, hard work, and of course, beer. Anheuser-Busch, the owners and brewers of the Budweiser brand of beer, chose Clydesdale horses to be the company’s mascot and included them in clever marketing advertisements. Over the years the ads have propelled the breed to new heights and they have since become internationally recognized and beloved by generations.
These days the Budweiser Clydesdales are bred to an exact standard at the Warm Springs Ranch near Boonville, Missouri. Visitors to the ranch can tour the grounds and facilities, and even get up close and personal with some of the 70 horses that call it home. To qualify as a Budweiser Clydesdale, a horse must have a snowy white face and four white legs. Their bodies should be bay colored, which is a rich reddish-brown tinged type of coat, with a darker mane and tail.
Over the years, hundreds of Clydesdale mares have given birth to baby foals with the help of their proud caretakers and birthing coaches. The young colts and fillies can be seen running wild among older horses in the pastures and fields on the ranch. Many of them are very friendly and one of them even kissed a cameraman in the video in a warm display of open affection. It’s easy to see how and why the horses have endured and become iconic. The young horses at the farm have it good and are absolutely adorable, energetic, and full of character and life.
Clydesdale horses were originally bred to be draught horses; ones who used to haul heavy carts and equipment such as plows. They needed to be exceptionally strong, resilient, and obedient in order to effectively help farmers get stuff done. Their lineage can be traced back to Scotland where the first mention of the name ‘Clydesdale’ was recorded. From there they were brought to the rest of the world where they were vital in efforts to build projects and became known as tough workhorses who provided sheer power, doing the bulk of moving things in the absence of widely available and mechanized machinery. Once gas powered technology came along demand for the horses fell and at one point in the 1970’s they were dying out. Then, in a 1986 Superbowl ad, Budweiser chose to feature the breed in a commercial and a tradition was born.

Pitbull Gets Into A Pen Filled With Baby Chicks. Now Watch The Pitbulls Reaction!
You never know where you might find a friend, and in this very special pit bull’s case, he found twenty! When I saw this friendly dog go into the chicken pen with all the baby chickens and a baby turkey, I was surprised. But when the chicks hopped on his back, I was shocked with delight! At first, the dog wonders around and seems to like his little friends very much, sniffing them gently and carefully walking around. Some of the chicks seemed a little nervous at first, but in no time at all they were all hanging out on his back!
Pit bulls are known to befriend all sorts of animals, and often prove to be able to get along with just about any species! A beautiful breed, they originally come from the United Kingdom and were bred to combine the agility of the terrier with the stout strength of the bulldog. They are quite intelligent and are well suited as companion animals, police dogs, search and rescue dogs, and therapy dogs.
Good friends are great to have, and this is one lucky pitbull! His little feathered friends probably think he is just an overgrown chicken, and who knows, maybe they think he looks like what they will when they grow up. If only we could understand chicken. They certainly talk enough, and it certainly seems possible to tell the difference between happy tweets and “you are a little too close and have teeth a little too large for my comfort, oh furry friend!” tweets.

He Discovered A Dead Shark But Noticed Something Was Weird. When He Cut It Open THIS Came Out!
Wow! This group of southerners did not expect a science lesson on their day at the beach. The kids were just swimming in the waves when someone came across a dead animal washed up on shore. A bull shark lay their lifeless with a large gash on its underside near its head. Upon further inspection, the family noticed movement in the deceased fish. A man in the group, with strong encouragement from a woman dermatologist filming the event, decided to get brave and see what was inside.
He made several attempts with a normal pocket knife to dissect the creature, but learned quickly that the flesh was tough and going to need some effort to rip open, or maybe his knife needed sharpening. Either way, the man did not want to injure whatever might be inside the belly, so he did his best to balance force and tenderness as he stabbed into the corpse. With his first successful opening he did not find any moving innards, but after exposing intestines he was deep enough to see more wiggling around.
The hero then carefully used the knife to open the womb of the bull shark and discovered live babies inside! Imagine how nerve wracking this must have been, especially for a guy whose father was a victim of a shark attack. Nervously finagling the first infant onto the sand, the man makes sure he is not snapped at as he works the fish out to sea.
Returning with more confidence, he digs in even deeper to reveal a second baby! Grabbing the tail with ease, the operator carries the animal to safety, and is back promptly to birth yet another small fishy. Luckily, mother bull sharks do not rear their young, so these babes are ready to go. Three young ones were trapped in the belly of the mother, but with the help of a very courageous father they were saved from death to live free amongst shallow ocean waters. Thank you for your great valor, sir!

This Guy Places Spaghetti In A Cupcake Tray. When He’s Done I Can’t Stop Drooling!
Spaghetti and cupcakes are two classic food items that are universally loved and eaten by mostly everyone. Spaghetti is one of the easiest dishes to make, all you need to do is throw a pot of salted water on the stove until it boils and then add in the noodles. Cupcakes are a little more fickle to bake, but with this recipe you don’t have to worry about them coming out wrong. Thanks to the Epic Meal Time video you can cook these at home and watch how each step is done. The lasagna cupcakes make a surprisingly tasty twist out of their more typical namesakes and after watching this you will want to make a batch asap!
All you need is a muffin tray, a frying pan and 2 large saucepans or pots. The ingredients list is as follows; one 8 ounce package of spaghetti, 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 pound of ground sausage, ¼ cup of melted butter, 2 eggs, ½ cup of Parmesan cheese, 2 packs of bacon, 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.
Start by chopping all the bacon into small bits and pieces then fry until crispy. Set aside half of the bacon bits for the spaghetti and add the ground sausage to the other half of the bacon still in the saucepan and cook over medium heat until well done. Drain the grease, add a can of tomato sauce, and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Take the spaghetti and boil then drain when done. Mix the melted butter in with the spaghetti and set aside. Take a small bowl and mix the eggs and Parmesan cheese together first, then add it to the spaghetti along with the bacon bits, and mix it well before allowing it to cool. Scoop some spaghetti into each holder on a muffin tray, twist and twirl the noodles so they form a nest in the tin. Wet your finger tips with water and scoop up a bit of ricotta cheese.
Then, press it down into the middle of each spaghetti cupcake and add a spoonful of meat sauce over it so that it’s covered. The last step is to add the mozzarella cheese and then you bake it in the oven for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
When making these next level treats your kitchen will be filled with the mouth watering aromas of bacon, melted cheeses, and sausage, so expect some stray family members to wander in. Check out the video for more details.

This Guy Took A Pregnancy Test As A Joke. He Had No Clue This Would End Up Saving His Life
This story is truly a miracle. A reddit user named Cappnpoopdeck thought it would be a hilarious joke to pee on his x-girlfriend’s pregnancy tests she had left in the bathroom. He took the test urinated on it and to his surprise the test came back positive saying that indeed he was pregnant..
What started out as a funny gag to mess with his x-girlfriend actually ended up saving this lucky guy’s life. This is something everyone should be aware of. As it turns out pregnancy tests look for raised levels of HCG, which is a hormone produced by pregnant women and men with testicular cancer.
Right after Cappnpoopdeck got word from fellow Redditors he immediately went to his doctor. Upon examination the doc found a tumor in his testicle. If he never peed on this little stick, he possibly could’ve lost his life. Thank god for the internet, which on this day happened to save this guy’s life!

His Human Asks This Pup If He Wants To Go To The Park. His Response Is Hysterical!
This dog has a hilarious reaction when his people parents ask him if he wants to go to the park. Sitting in the backseat, he almost loses it when he hears the word “park”, and he expresses himself eloquently with noises I have never heard come from a dog’s mouth!
He sounds more like he is telling a story than simply barking. Maybe he is speaking in full sentences, and we just can’t understand him? He gets his general point across, certainly, but what is he really saying?
The park? THE PARK?! Of course I want, to go to the park, it’s the only thing I have been thinking about ever since you grabbed my leash and took me to the car. Then we were driving down the road and all I could think was, “There might be squirrels in the park!”
I could catch a squirrel this time. Maybe this will be the time I actually catch one! And there will be other dogs, too. And so many smells, oh the smells! I can’t even contain my excitement, I’m slurring my words a bit. Why do you keep asking if I want to go, of course I want to go! Let’s just get there already, less talk, more park!
And when we get there, will you throw the ball for me? I love when you throw the ball. I go pick it up and bring it back to you, which seems to make you happy, and then you throw it again! Which makes me happy. I could play fetch all day long, if only your arm and attention span could keep up.
Oh well, at least there will be squirrels! Please, let there be squirrels, and maybe a chipmunk or two. Oh and pigeons! I just hope there are no crows, those sneaky bastards. I hate crows. Always lurking and playing tricks on me. Tell us what you think!

Mom Buys Her Baby A Toy Then Notices A Symbol On It. THIS Is What The Sickening Symbol Means!
image via – youtube.com
Nicole O’Kelly had taken her two kids to the Monster Jam show in Syracuse. When her son lovingly wanted to buy his 2-year-old baby sister a present he spotted, Nicole was touched. He spotted a plush pink monster truck, which she thought was a cool idea for little girls attending the show.
She bought the toy for her son to give to his sister, but it wasn’t until they got home that she had the sense that something was off about the pink truck. In the video that you are about to watch below, she speaks to WHEC about what happened. She discovered through her older daughter, a big fan of the show “Law and Order: SVU”, that the double heart imbedded on the truck had a sick and disturbing hidden meaning.
Her daughter insisted that she had seen an episode about sexual predators, and that the double heart emblem was a “Girl Lover” logo, that signaled that the monster liked to be online predators. She tracked down the episode, and felt horrified and infuriated. She had inadvertently bought her little girl a toy that had an insignia that was a secret code for online predators.
“Immediately, I went into mama bear mode”, O’Kelly said. You will hear how her determined efforts stopped the selling of these trucks, and her desire to go further in getting to the bottom of who was behind this heinous act. She felt it was important to make other parents aware of this symbol.

She Slices an X Into An Onion And Puts It In The Oven For 30 Minutes. When She Takes It Out WOW!
If you have ever enjoyed a delicious blooming onion then you’ll love this healthy version of the deep fried favorite. The oven baked recipe is simple and easy to prepare, calling for onions, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and optional salt and pepper. It comes out of the oven tender, full of flavor, and makes a nice colorful addition to any dish it’s served with. Below is the onion flower recipe!
Start by gathering the ingredients; 4 red onions, 3 Tbsp. olive oil, 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. If you plan on serving this as a side dish with other food on a plate it is best to use smaller sized red onions and if it’s an appetizer then larger ones will do. Peel the onion and slice off the the bottom root part so that it can be set down flat without rolling around! Carefully cut down the center, but be sure not to cut all the way through, you want to leave about half an inch uncut so that the pieces stay together!
Then cut it in half again so you have 4 pieces, and finally cut each of those in half so you end up with a total of 8 segments, all joined together at the bottom. Place the onions in a bowl, pour the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over, and toss them until they are well coated. After, transfer all four onions onto a greased baking dish, spreading them out evenly so they have room to cook. Drizzle the remaining oil and vinegar on and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes. When time is up take them out, remove the foil, and then bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
When they come out of the oven the onions should be “blooming” and will have opened up in similar fashion to that of a flower’s petals unfolding. They will be crisp on the outside and tender, juicy, and flavorful on the inside. Onions get sweeter when baked at high heat and these taste just as good as they look!
