Near the banks of the Daugava River in Dviete, Latvia, a monstrous world pool was filmed devouring all that nears it. Most whirlpools form when two fast moving currents meet, flowing against eachother in opposite directions. This whirlpool, however, was formed when water from the swollen river began flowing into an inlet upstream. As it flowed on the upstream side of a bridge, everything sucked in- massive ice chunks, plants, and other floating debris- everything was funneled under the road which the spectators are standing on in this video. Janis Astics, who took the footage, described that the powerful whirlpool is "swallowing everything dragged towards its direction".

Two Headed Lamb Born in Ghana

A completely normal lamb was born on a Monday afternoon near Tarkwa, Ghana. Completely normal, that is, except for the multiple faces protruding from the lamb's neck. There aren't many details known about this two-headed lamb on a personal level, but Todd Ray from the AMC series "Freakshow" sure is interested in it. He doesn't know if the goat is still alive or not, but he is still interested and concerned for the animal. He says "People often try to feed both mouths, but one may not have a functioning throat or it may have an obstruction". Thankyou Ray, thank you. Ray proudly holds the largest collection of two-headed animals in the world, including a two-headed chicken, two-headed goat, and two six-legged two-headed Bearded Lizards.

New Rocket Fuel
NASA, and many individuals, wan to put man on mars. A newly proposed rocket fuel could make this trip possible. A team at the University of Washington is bein funded by the space exploration program to build a fusion engine, which could get humans to Mars in as little as 30 days. This could make current forms of space power obsolete, seeing as it took 8 months to send the mars rover Curiosity to Mars using expensive fuel powered rockets. The proposed Fusion Driven Rocket uses magnetism to compress aluminum or lithium bands around a fuel pellet. This initiates fusion, which forces the propellant mass out at 30 kilometers per second. This FDR is incredibly more efficient than current rocket fuel, and could be completely powered by solar power. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the US government will throw any money towards this project, but advancements will be made in time.

North Korea reads threatening April Fools Blogs, Takes them seriously
North Korean spies were making their usual rounds of investigating US internet usage when they came across several blogs involving the destruction of North Korea. These blogs were written by high schoolers of a small school in Northeast Wisconsin. The spies immediately informed their leader, Kim Jong-un, of the high schools plotting to violently attack an defeat their country. They reported that the blogs were suspected to hold information from a military database, which told of the US's plans for attacking North Korea (a mission predicted to fail). Kim Jong-un ordered his military to take action immediately, heightening their defenses and preparing for battle. Though they haven't found further evidence of this potential attack, they are determined to not be caught off guard. As they wait for the US to make the first move, North Korea continues to prepare for battle, making sure to make ready any forces they might need to take down these threatening Wisconsin "high schoolers".
