waffles — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:40:30 +0000

A Florida man wrestled with, and eventually killed, an 18-foot Burmese python in a rural area of Miami-Dade County earlier this month. It was reported that Jason Leon saw about three feet of the snake protruding from the brush alongside the road on which he was driving on May 11, 2013. He stopped his car and grabbed the snake behind the head in an attempt to pull it from the brush. The python then began wrapping itself around the man’s leg. A friend of Leon’s came to assist, and they were able to kill the snake with a knife. The python was examined by University of Florida scientists at the Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center who reported its size to be 18-feet 8-inches and 128 pounds. It is the longest recorded Burmese python captured in Florida. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) describes the Burmese python as ”an invasive species that has ...

Golden Zebra: Real or Hoax?

waffles — Tue, 21 May 2013 15:27:40 +0000

An image circulating claims to show a rare golden zebra. Is this image real or fake? The image being circulated is real, but it has been digitally enhanced. This rare zebra named Zoe was born on Sept. 16, 1998 on the Hawaiian island of Molokai. She currently lives at the Three Ring Ranch Exotic Animal Sanctuary above the town of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. The ranch’s website explains her unusual appearance: Her unusual color is due to her having “amelanosis”. She is not an albino. She has striking gold stripes and blue eyes. In horses, there is a similar condition called “Lethal White Foal Syndrome” which is associated with the occurrence of other serious birth defects. Although this color variation occasionally occurs in wild herds, the animals would likely survive only a few days at best. This is probably because zebras use their stripes as camouflage to blend in with the rest ...

News of the passing of keyboardist Ray Manzarek circulated online, only to be followed by news that it was just another celebrity death hoax. It is not a hoax.

Manzarek’s publicist and bandmate Robby Krieger have confirmed his death, which came after an extended battle with bile duct cancer.

waffles — Mon, 20 May 2013 14:46:38 +0000

A graphic shows a man holding up what he claims to be the winning lottery ticket from this weekend’s powerball. He also claims that he will share $10 million with someone who follows him online. It’s a hoax. This is the second time this person has claimed to win the lottery. This appears to be the same “Sokhavy Hilton” who engaged in the exact same hoax in late 2012. The 2013 version of Hilton’s hoax reads: My recent trip to Publix supermarket in Zephyrhills, Florida got me to win 600 Million Dollar$ from the powerball. I am going to pick one lucky winner to get 10 Million$ who ever shares this! Follow me on Twitter… In 2012, he claimed: Yes, I am one of the winner of 580$ Million Powerball I will pick 10 random people to get 1 Million $ each if you share this! I care for others too!

Spray-On Shirt: Real or Hoax?

waffles — Sun, 19 May 2013 17:02:51 +0000

An image claims to show a new spray-on shirt which can be washed and worn again. Today we’ll take a closer look at this image and the claims behind it. The image is real, but the story is not new. This spray-on fabric technology was patented in 2000 and demonstrated nearly three years ago. Called “Fabrican,” it is the brainchild of Spanish fashion designer Manel Torres who claims to have gotten the idea from seeing someone using Silly String at a wedding. As seen in the video below, the spray-on shirt immediately dries to form a seamless fabric. It took 15 minutes to create an ordinary T-shirt in a demonstration video for the Guardian. The fabric can be washed and re-worn, or dissolved and re-sprayed again. Other Uses Torres has stated that he is investigating medical uses for the product, stating that it could be useful as a wound dressing, instant bandage, or cast. He has also ...

Does this Surveillance Video Show an Angel Caught on Tape?

waffles — Sat, 18 May 2013 16:09:05 +0000

Surveillance video appears to show a supernatural appearance by what some claim is a real angel caught on tape. Today we’ll take a closer look at this video. This appears to have been created in late 2010 as part of a campaign known as “Fallen Angels” or “Even Angels will Fall” for the men’s cologne Lynx Excite. Lynx is the international name for Axe, and sometimes this campaign is referred to as the “Axe Fallen Angels.” The campaign involved sexy angels descending from the heavens, attracted to the scent of the cologne. Several television ads were created, along with an augmented reality device placed in London’s Victoria subway station to simulate angels falling around those who stood on a company logo. Let’s take a look at the “surveillance video” which has been circulated and debated for well over a year as of this writing. Below is the popular television ad known as “Even Angels Fall” for ...
